Is it morbid of me that I enjoy explaining how freaking hard it is to get published when moms in my mom group start talking about "I just started writing a novel to be published" like they can just hand it over to B&N? It's like ma'am, take a seat because you have no idea.

The problem with letting your real life friends read your book is they now just keep asking how the agent search is going not really understanding how hard it actually is. #amquerying

Have you thought of starting your own side business? Maybe do one or two low cost workshops to get some feedback and reviews. Us writers are always looking for workshops!

I'm just here to let everyone know they need to read Stephanie Garber's new book Alchemy of Secrets. I DEVOURED THIS BOOK. It's also a PERFECT comp for my current contemporary fantasy, Unbound. *runs to edit query letter*
