Just got another faux agent email that looked real on the surface, and I can easily see how newer writers get tricked by these. And I hate it. Let's unpack this, because maybe this arrived in your inbox today. I blacked out my industry colleague's identifying info, obviously.

@KelleyArmstrong I can’t wait to read this!! And we all know you write terrific humor and terrific romance, so I can see you slaying in this genre. Congratulations!!
So my last two book deals have been for horror (Hemlock Island, fall 2023) and rom-com (Finding Mr. Write, 2024). That's a little scary, but also kinda funny. I'll show myself out now 😉
And now the official announcement of how that "I don't have time for this book" plan worked out for me.
Watched The Lost City on the plane. Cute & fun, but had the unfortunate effect of reminding me of a rom-com partial that I shelved b/c a) I don't write rom-coms and b) my schedule was very busy and is still *glares at self* very busy.
Back home. Writing upstairs & looked up just in time to see this cotton-candy sunset over Lake Erie.
Good thread!!! Here's ALL the answers. 👇
If you’re querying, rejections can feel personal but they often have little to do with you or the quality of writing. Here are reasons from an agent’s POV: -I’m overwhelmed & cranky & not very open. - I need easy projects that I know I can place.
There are so many small moments! And they must be celebrated.
I've been better at tracking my successes as an agent (not just the big flashy ones I get to shout about here) and it is really having a big impact on how I approach this job
I have 8 zooms today. I have multiple sets of headphones, notebook and pen, water, planned my lunch, and have the kettle on for non-stop tea. Let's do this.
Fittingly for A Turn of the Tide release day, my morning writing view is a sunrise over the ocean. Fine, it’s Lake Ontario, but we can pretend it’s the ocean.
I offered rep to a potential client over the past week and she (rightfully!) asked: "What happens if you leave agenting?" And I said: the only way I'm leaving agenting is in a casket. #lifer
When my novel came out, my coworkers made a library catalog card for it, signed it and had it framed, and to this day it’s one of the most special and thoughtful gifts I’ve ever received and sits on my desk by my computer
If it's October, it's time for dark fantasy & horror. Once again, I'm posting a free story every week. The quartet are also available bundled into a 99¢ ebook. This week it's a dark-fantasy "werewolf western." You can read Bamboozled here: kelleyarmstrong.com/happyhalloween/
I designed this necklace for all of you writers out there looking forward to your ONE YES!
Won’t let myself wear this until it’s time to query but what a lovely boost of much needed motivation that dropped in my mailbox today! @TSNOTYAW
Over the years I've become pretty immune to the trolls and criticism--about my looks, laugh, and my advice. So this one really cracked me up.... "I find, there antics annoying" -- from youtube
