I have the best writing group ever! My CPs are close readers, and followed my intentional breadcrumbs while pointing out the story paths that went nowhere.
Once it was done, advice from @rachkmc.bsky.social helped polish my letter and first pages.
So grateful to them all. 🥰

With #revpit 10queries starting to pop up, this is a great chance to give a shoutout to someone who helped you with your QP or MS!

Did anyone post their query on r/pubtips? Do you have any great beta readers or critique partners?

on this the anniversary of Herbert Mason's iconic photo taken during the Blitz and the Second Great Fire of London on Dec 30, 1940 -- we remember the men and women who devoted their lives at Churchill's order that Wren's masterpiece be protected at all costs
The story of the St. Paul’s Watch, and their role in protecting St. Paul's Cathedral on the night of the 29th December 1940 in my post at alondoninheritance.com/thebombedcit...

Good morning! Remember, you don't have to eat one chocolate a day from the Advent calendar. You can eat them all and then get another calendar.

Stick with me for more great Holiday tips! 🎄

so excited to work with Sonia!
📣📣📣 I’m thrilled (and honestly, more than a little stunned) to announce I’m now represented by the fabulous @rachkmc.bsky.social.

Rachel GOT my book, and me, from the beginning. We’re going to make a great team, and I can’t wait to get started!
