Literary's newest virtual intern starting May 6th. 🥰 👀♥️✨I am humbled to intern at such a fantastic agency representing many of my favorite authors. @PSLiterary
here’s a publishing secret: it takes way longer to read submissions if they’re good
Writing a story and trying to land on a character name:
Writers, agents, editors, lend me your ears! (sorry, I've been watching a lot of Shakespeare lately) In the past several years publishing has made great strides in publishing books about and by people of marginalized backgrounds, but we have a long way to go.
@carlywatters Carly, thanks for this useful insight. Very interesting. Looks like traditional publishers are the slow-moving blacksmiths, unable to keep up with the advent of the automobile. I’m particularly interested as a good friend is pushing me to self-publish a current-events thriller
Left the family behind to be home for @TheFOLD_ , and found that my husband had a whole green room of snacks waiting for me - something he’s done since our first virtual festival: pandemic edition in 2020. 🥰
Hi friends. I’m only just really wrapping my head around the brownface/four-writers-in-one thing. I have gotten some related questions via @printrunpodcast about pen names and given how emotionally difficult this situation is I wanted to cover the topic as quickly as possible.
Sharing happiness because the tl clearly needs it. Look at this man greying so nicely as we approach our 19th anniversary in a few months. And look at his snack of a wife. 🤣🥰
@mdbell79 I remember that last point most of all, how he gave up a huge desk for a small one, moved it to the corner of the room and let his kids play and watch tv with him. When I read it I was writing with an 18 month old handing me toys and slapping me, so it felt reassuring
Sad news - my beloved agent @Janet_Reid has departed for the great library in the sky. Long before we worked together, her blog & @QueryShark educated me about querying, publishing & writing. She was a generous advice giver who truly listened to writers at all stages.
not every negative opinion is a hot take. sometimes being a hater is indeed the dominant cultural orientation toward something. stop stealing hot take valor
I don’t believe in generations but I do think a significant divide between millennials and gen z is … did you read comics in the newspaper
@MelJRey I always remember @carlywatters on @TSNOTYAW gave a great piece of advice on a very early episode saying she assumes if she is requesting the full so are other agents so there is no need to keep sending emails to tell her which I have always gone with as seems very sensible.
.@carlywatters is primarily here talking to PUBLISHERS about relatively successful indie authors. She's not saying self pub is usually wiser for most authors. Many indie authors struggle to get decent sales, just as wannabe trad pubbed authors struggle to find agent/publisher.
This commentary from @carlywatters is on point. There is a line in terms of $ and distribution from small/medium presses, and below the line you are better off self publishing. Not sure where exactly the line is now but it’s much higher than it used to be tiktok.com/@carlywatters/…
