Authors, Beware! There's a firm called "ClaimsHero" doing aggressive social media outreach claiming to
"help" you file to get $ in the Anthropic class action. In fact, it's a bait-and-switch, they are luring authors to sign up with them, then OPTING THEM OUT of the class action so they'll get zilch.

THE CITY WE BECAME was literally my first thought when I saw this table
Apparently all you needed to do to predict the NYC election results was read that one N.K. Jemisin novel.

Frey won 😡😭
Mamdani!!!!! YESSSSS!! Mayor of Minneapolis likely won’t be decided tonight though SO THE ANXIETY CONTINUES
I have half a bottle of prosecco in my fridge leftover from a brunch and I'd really like to toast it to Fateh (or at a minimum not Frey) and Mamdani tonight!! Come on Minneapolis and NYC!

I think I want to do an #askagent later this week.

Like #amquerying folks can ask publishing /querying/writing etc questions and I'll answer as best I can. I know I used to see those a lot on twitter but I don't seem too often here.

Would that be something people are interested in? ☺️

Still looking for a job and would love love love to run virtual writing workshops for a writing organization, which i have 12 years experience doing! Open to other opportunities that wouldn't require me to quit agenting though!

DVpit #querying Tip: As you scroll the feed make note of which agents like pitches in similar categories/genres as yours & add them to your general querying list! The feed is so busy, they might've missed yours, but if they're liking similar stories that means it's something they want in their inbox

I am incredibly honored to be the DFL endorsed candidate for Minneapolis Mayor. This endorsement is a message that Minneapolis residents are done with broken promises, vetoes, and politics as usual. It’s a mandate to build a city that works for all of us. fatehformayor.com/donate
