WE NEED A QUERY / SUBMISSIONS TINDER For authors, we upload our queries / book profiles. Then we select things we want in an agent. We swipe on agents, they swipe on us. No rejections, only matches. And same for the agent --> editor pipeline #amquerying #WritingCommunity

@moniza_hossain Omg I think this has everything to do with the mindlessness of consumption. Itโ€™s like when people binge Euphoria in a day and complain when it takes a year to release the next season. Creation takes so much time, energy, and passion. It hurts so much to know how people see us.

After you get an agent, it gets harder, not easier. The competition is MORE fierce. There are far less editors than there are agents and far far less than there are authors. Editors have MORE work, and theyโ€™re even slower Thereโ€™s MORE ghosting. Your chances are even slimmer.

if youโ€™re not ready for feedback โ€”and not only ready, but EAGER, trad pub is not for you. A book is not made by one person. Your favorite books had the hands of 5-10 people in them. You have to know when to look deeper at critique and when to let it slide off your shoulders.

Querying writers ask for my advice here fairly often (more on tiktok) but the biggest, most important advice I can give is something I think we donโ€™t hear enough: Querying does not end with a full request. You should be proud of them, but thatโ€™s when the real test begins.

I am not an angry person, but I have to be honest, these messages not only hurt and broke my heart, but angered me deeply. Having my work described in such a vile way feels like a gross violation in so many ways. Reading those messages tarnished a project Iโ€™ve worked SO hard on.

I will never address this group again, and I would just like to move on. I am seriously very tired of all this and want to focus on my books and lifting up my friends. Please, just be kind. Itโ€™s really not a hard thing to do.

I try extremely hard to always be kind. I genuinely care about helping newer writers and adding positively to this community. I *passionately* care about other authors and truly want only the best for each of you.

That is why itโ€™s so extremely difficult for me to wrap my head around the vulgar, disgusting, ableist, biphobic messages that were leaked related to my book. Especially considering I have never had an actual conversation with the host of that message thread.

Discussing my 16 y/o MC, a CHILD, in relation to such inappropriate topics that I will not list here and never wish to speak ofโ€”was frankly troubling and extremely upsetting.

Idk who needs to hear this, but reading queries is NOT an agents' job. Agents' jobs are to sell their clients work. Query reading is unpaid labor. Prepping a book for sub is technically unpaid labor, which is why it requires "love"/passion. Freelance editors can take on work (1)
