I'm sorry but publishing is bananas! 3 days a week in person in NYC for $16.50 an hour? Where is this person living? Pennsylvania?

I feel attacked
I regret to inform you that the only way to finish your novel is to keep writing.

Correct me if I’m wrong but the dot on the top of the book means it was counted as a return to the publisher, right?

The holiday season is upon us and so I need all the holiday movies that have publishing as any aspect in the story. MC is a writer. Secondary character wants to write a book or be an illustrator or is an editor or agent… please list that movie here.

Reading queries on the elliptical and noticing some trends I thought I’d share with y’all
Enemies to lovers
Assassin/serial killers (in all shapes sizes and genres)

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House.

Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity.

They are not the same.

I just read an article that vacationers are hunkering down in hotels!?! I don’t understand what they are thinking. This is going to be catastrophic and they will be a drain on resources the people there will need.
Projected maximum rainfall in Jamaica from Hurricane Melissa? 40 inches+

That's the average amount of rain DC sees in an entire YEAR.

I mean maybe I’m just speaking for myself but, NO. I do not want a video pitch. Please do not send one. And do not send pictures of yourself at the gym (something else I have received). We just want people to follow directions & to look up “how to write a query letter” before would be nice too ❤️
Note the present tense. Note they aren't telling you how they got their agent. Because it hasn't bloody well worked.
