TENEMENT

House of Leaves x The Giver

Inside, the Tenement is an infinite maze of halls.

Outside, there is... Nothing.

When Noah Walker's mom mysteriously goes missing, he vows to learn the secrets of his strange world. Even if it means tearing the whole thing down.

A dimly lit frame with the first four Rules of the Tenement: RULE ONE Under no circumstances shall anyone leave the Tenement. RULE TWO The Front Door is to remain shut and locked at all times. RULE THREE Any windows that appear are to remain closed, with the curtains drawn, and should be avoided until they disappear again. Tenants are forbidden from looking upon the outside. RULE FOUR These Rules, being given to us by our Landlord and passed down unchanged from the founding of the Tenement, shall be inscribed into the heart and mind of every tenant for the wellbeing of all A mysterious photo of a woman in a dark hall and a scrap of paper are tucked into the bottom corner. The paper reads "Where is she?"

Editor’s Guide To: The Things We Run For YA Drama Mystery with Romance 94k Words Represented by Amanda Wooden at SBR Media 4/13/1995 Run. What a powerful instinct. Emma Bridge had wanted nothing more than to be with her two siblings in a home that felt safe, but those wishes never came true. With nothing left to lose, Emma runs away from the spotlight of the Hills to a small town across the country, but this new home is anything but the safety she’d been after. The weight of the world has fallen on her shoulders, and she can’t carry it alone. But with her old name in every police station and her new name on every tongue in town, she’s not sure who she can trust to help carry the burden. What we know: -Runaway in Hiding -Fake Identity (turned real identity) -Mental Health Rep -Genderfluid and Pan Rep -Found Family -90s Small-Town Nostalgia At the bottom, the name Emma Bridge is crossed out and replaced with Peyton Freys 6/23/1995 “The Hills have Eyes” There’s a collage of pictures. Picture one is of two people, one sitting on the counter with the other in front of them. Picture two is go a small-town street with snowy homes to either side. Picture three shows a row of high school desks. Picture four shows a box of police evidence. Picture five shows a group of kids sitting behind an abandoned building. Picture six shows someone flipping off a police car. Picture seven shows a paper with the words “Child Custody Hearing” printed on it. The last picture shows a boy at a school desk, writing something into a notebook. In the bottom right, it says Going on submission in 2026

TFW you realize your main character needs to do something that will make your readers think they’re a dick and hope the payoff will be worth it!

Shout out to DreamForge magazine for one of the kindest rejection letters I’ve seen—encouraging and including a suggestion for another place to submit my piece and their deadline.

Publishing is HARD, but a human touch make such a difference.

Received a rejection on a short story I submitted to a lit mag, but it came with feedback! That alone was worth the price of admission (figuratively speaking, the submission was free)

I’ve come to the conclusion that query letters were invented by the devil to keep authors humble. Joke’s on him though, because I’ve already got imposter syndrome! 🤪

For anyone looking for real, unvarnished insights into the publishing industry, check out the Publishing Rodeo podcast by @sunyidean.com and @scottdrakeford.com. Their “saying the quiet part out loud” ethos, is the best “insider” content I’ve seen by far.

I write dialog the way I have conversations in real life: rambling and hard to off-ramp.

Just land the plane, dude!
