Spotted my debut on a very nice shelf.

Thank you so much for your long-winded response. I queried you a couple years ago with a debut. This latest manuscript is my 3rd novel, and it looks like you're looking for horror (who isn't? - and if they aren't, they should be!). You'll find me in the slush shortly; possibly with a prologue. 😉

@marchsoloway.bsky.social If the first 6 pages of my manuscript are prologue, and vital to the story as a whole, should I include them in my first 10 pages for querying purposes or omit them entirely? Also, does maximalist prose have a place in today's publishing landscape?

Draft 1 of the next novel was finished in December (I'm late to posting this...). Draft 2.1 and 2.2 have followed suit... Will be visiting many query trenches soon!

The rightwing response to the murder of Alex Pretti is predictable: to outshout and talk over anyone taking another position. The shrillness on Twitter is especially grating, but again, not surprising. It's Orwell's doublespeak. If the man had a cell phone instead of a gun, yell louder.

Undoubtedly Oz's best film? Damn, that is an inescapable statement, and I just don't know about that. The Blackcoat's Daughter will be undoubtedly hard to top.

Hell yeah. Get it dude! 🤘

Hell yeah, dude! What's next? Tell us all the secrets.

Really digging my first R. Harrison read. Nearing the end.... (As are we all). Let's see what happens!
