I've been reflecting on the amazing pitches from the #WritingCommunity, realizing there are SO MANY incredible characters buried away in the pages of our stories, just waiting for the chance to leap & bloom in the minds of others. I can't wait to meet your characters, friends 🥺
LOATHE AT FIRST SIGHT x BATTLEBOTS: Sam would give anything to beat her brother and impress her dad with her robot, but when the cost of winning means losing herself, she must decide whether to fight or walk away forever. #WomensFiction
When tides call and seashells whisper, we must listen… #amquerying #fiction #RevPit #WriterCommunity
TOG x BRIDGERTON x THE SELECTION Luna pledged to fix her fractured world by marrying one of Sirynn's three princes. But when a magic darker than sin reawakens, will she secure a royal alliance? Or will the man she's falling for burn with her kingdom? #LCSLITPITCH24 #YA #F #R
When a strange connection to the ocean puts Mia in the middle of an abduction investigation, she must decide whether to accept or dismiss those waves that crash at her feet as she stands on the shore. When tides call and seashells whisper, we must listen. #LCSLITPITCH24
A spirit realm full of darkness and chaos. The Northern Guard, a legion of the kingdom’s most brutal warriors, is the only thing standing between humanity and the spirits who slip through the veil. ❄️ a winter world ❄️ enemies to lovers ❄️ healer fmc ❄️ romantasy #questpit
Mia: A woman with an odd connection to the ocean. Claire: A mother grieving her son’s abduction. A friendship blooming from the seed of tragedy. Will Mia accept the truth of her birthright to solve the twisted story unspooling before her? Only the ocean knows. #questpit
THOSE PITCH TWEETS ARE FIRE. AND HAVE YOU SEEN HOW THIS COMMUNITY CAME TOGETHER? I almost broke my fingers reposting haha. Pls pin or DM me your tweet if I haven’t reposted yet! :) ❤️ want to make sure I don’t miss you. #WritingCommmunity
No one was more right than the late, great Tom Petty when he sang, “The waiting is the hardest part.” …especially when you are a writer in the trenches of querying. #amquerying #WriterCommunity #writerslife
Fellow scribes. Just a reminder. This novel writing thing we do is normalised here. But it is not normal. Writing a novel is an extraordinary accomplishment…whether you get good reviews or awards or lots of sales! Congrats on awesome achievement! #WritingCommunity #amwriting
The trenches of querying is a tough place to be…. #amquerying #books #fiction
Waiting to hear back from agents. Waiting to hear back from publishers. Waiting to hear back from #RevPit. I'm convinced that 99% of an author's life is just waiting #WritingCommunity #amquerying

You never know what it may turn into~🍀💫
Hey #WritingCommunity! Mark your calendars for tomorrow, 4/27/2024 from 9-10pm (CST), @vickyweberbooks, @cgossagent and I will do an #AskAgent, right here on Twitter! Think of your questions, tell your friends, and join us! We’ll start the post and answer within one thread!
Every weekend my full requests survive without a rejection feels like a win 😎
Can all you lovely #amquerying guys see this tweet? I don't want to sound needy (I am needy, I needy reassurance)... Am I unpopular? Boring? Does the algorithm skip me? Everyone else's #querying tweets get loads more interaction than mine. 🥺😭🥺😭🥺 #help #WritingCommmunity? X
I have an indie publisher interested in my book, and also havea full out to an agent. I will let the agent know, but what are the pros/cons of agent vs directly working with the publisher? (This is not a vague tweet, it's like pre-vague.) #WritingCommunity #agents #amquerying
Just found I was accepted to grad school for an MFA program!!! 🥳
Hey writers/publishing folks! I'll retweet your pinned post if you retweet mine? (No AI bullshit though please)
Today, my older sister asked for a copy of my manuscript so she could read it. 🥺 No one in my family has ever wanted to read my writing before. Ever. In fact, they have always vehemently refused to do so.
@asna_writes I’m a bit in between. There’s some days that I wanna trad pub but other days I think self pub would be better for me, careerwise because I don’t really feel like I have an author brand … I write whatever I feel like and read pub kinda wants you to have a bit of a brand … idk 🤷🏼♀️
@asna_writes I wanted a publisher for my debut novel. Then I self-published my 2nd. Since then, I’ve published with 2 more small presses, but I’m also thinking of self-publishing again. The way I publish doesn’t matter as much as how I market them to attract readers and generate sales.
@asna_writes Both options are open. I query a project, and until most agents pass or I’ve simply just run out of steam or want to focus querying another project I shelf it to either self pub or rework into something more sellable
@asna_writes I self pubbed, indie pubbed, and published on reading apps.
@asna_writes Originally I planned to self pub but I told myself to give querying a chance so if nothing happens for me this year, I’m self pubbing in 2025
I was slowing down in my revisions UNTIL I started writing a new "discover the body" scene; now it's flowing so fast & so good! I always tell my kids that if they're stuck in one thing, try something else, well, I guess I should take my own advice! #amwriting #writincommunity
I’m CRYING!!! Today I lived a dream. I got to see multiple SIGNED editions of The Stricken on the SHELVES at Barnes & Noble. I just… …When you get a rejection, send another query. When you shelve a manuscript, write another book. Don’t stop. Don’t stop. Don’t stop. 💀🖤💀🖤
Shout out about an unagented writer friend who you think the world of and are rooting for their success: new friends, old friends, CPs, besties, ride or dies......📚 I'll select one winner duo - each gets a first 10-page critique. Comment by 6 pm EST on 4/28/24.
Publishing is indeed a long and emotional process
Ok, I’m going to be fully transparent and honest. I’ve been getting questions regarding what happened with me querying SECRETS HIDDEN IN THE SHADOWS. Yes, I had 11 fulls out since November 2023. I befriended a wonderful agent who I just loved, and
If I offer representation and we don’t end up together, I want you to know I loved your book. I’m grateful I got to be an early reader. I watch for your success. I want you to choose what’s best for you. I’m a sampling of the fans you’ll gain. And I am always cheering you on.
Question for #amquerying authors! Do you ever respond to meaningful rejections? Received my first full rejection today and would love to thank the agent for their valuable feedback, but not sure if that’s normal/if there’s a function for that on QM
