Oh! But I liked the book!

So many The Other Bennet Sister spoilers here in the US I bought the book and read it over the weekend.
So, good job! I guess. Book sales. YAY!
I'm sure I'm not the only one who did that, but still.
All the spoilers.
It's a little disappointing.

This is TONIGHT, y'all! Join us online or in person!

Up at the top of your scroll there's 3 options. "Following" "Discover" and "Popular with Friends."
I went for days like this before I realized I was on the Discover option.
Maybe that's why?

@peterclines.com WOOOOOOT!

I am willing and absolutely open to sharing sublists with clients and other agents. Transparency is extremely important to me.
All you need to do is ask!

Note to writers:

No, your agent does not deserve to get a commission on your Anthropic copyright settlement payout.

No, your publisher should not charge an administrative fee for filing claims on your behalf (and why would you want them to? It's easy to do yourself).

At a writing conference today, so my annual reminder.

If you book time to chat with editors or agents, and you’re pitching your work… just read your query. Don’t try to memorize things and put that extra pressure on yourself.

It’s not an audition for a play, my friends.

A tip for the masses:
I'm not a fan of books written primarily from the killer's POV.
Certain chapters from that POV, sure, as long as the chapters advance the plot.
But do I find a psychopath's brain a place I want to dwell for 70k-90k words?
Definitely not.
Seek elsewhere.
I'm not your gal.

I get that times are tough and landing an agent is ridiculously hard these days, but I will 100% contact that other agent you are trying to use as leverage against me and we WILL compare notes.
Don't fib to try and trick us into making an offer.
It makes me angry...

If they ask you for money, they’re not a real publisher or agent.

Went minorly viral on Threads for posting that Indiana Jones/Harrison Ford is the perfect character/celeb to sit next to on a flight because he'd ignore you the whole time and if this is my legacy, fine.

If you're going to manipulate the system, just manipulate the system and don't use me as a pawn assuming I'm too stupid to realize that's what you're doing.

I'm so excited about my office day today! I'm going to be so productive!

Got to read this last week and it's fantastic. A wonderfully dark and creepy story about monsters, people who are turned into monsters, and some who just choose to be monsters. Preorder it and check it out.
