Fair. Still agree with you though—no unless you have a preexisting phone relationship

Absolutely not. (If a freelancer had tracked down and called my private cellphone number when I was an editor, I would have made a point of never ever working with them. Different if it’s an office phone, but does such a thing even exist anymore?)

this is great news

LOVED this book so much as a teenager

I’m guessing it’s already on your radar but Whidbey by @tkiramadden.bsky.social is *spectacular* (ok I’m looking forward to it coming out next year, I was lucky and got to read it this year)

And yes there are payment plans available!

Here are some things past students have said about the Incubator:

Participants get three rounds of workshop feedback (on 90 pages total) plus a one-on-one meeting with me, class visits from acclaimed authors of essay collections and publishing professionals, tons of prompts and exercises to help develop and polish your collection, and 13 class sessions

It started bad and just got worse with each new clause

I got this same email lol

The more fawning and reassuring a rejection is the more it bothers me... I don't need a "chin up, little buddy"

lol accurate!
