A city in Tennessee has banned being gay in public. Murfreesboro, Tennessee passed an ordinance claiming that “acts of” being “homosexual” is considered “sexual conduct” and may no longer be seen in public. The law is also now being used to ban books.

A thing I wish people knew about the industry: the timelines and advance payment splits mean that authors *often* have to prioritize other work. Because when you need to buy groceries, you literally *can't* prioritize the thing that isn't going to pay you for years.

ENORMOUS thanks to @VeroniKaboom . PM took her name out, but she initiated this deal and I would not be here without her. She fought for my work for literal years and I couldn't have asked for a better champion. I would go (and have gone - don't mess) to war for her.

"Griffis lends her leads admirable strengths and forgivable flaws and colors them in with plenty of lush period detail...Nothing in this story disappoints." 😭😭😭 I'm not crying, you're crying.

#PitchWars mentees: I'm guessing some of y'all are starting to research agents/think about the showcase (wheee!), so thought I'd toss out some querying/agent search wisdom. Some will be stuff you've heard before, I'm sure. Take what you need; leave the rest. (thread)
