Have you ever gotten feedback that makes you think "did they even read my manuscript?" I know I have--but that feedback was actually EXACTLY what I needed in order to level up my writing skills. Read this week's newsletter for more!

Hot take: the query might be harder than writing the book.
You spent months (years?) drafting, revising, rewriting your manuscript. Now you’re supposed to distill it into 250–350 words.

We'll see you in June!
