Michelle Sanchez I ran the numbers through QueryTracker and 20% of authors who landed agents queried 100 or more agents before getting their offer. So don't give up too early.

This has come up a few times in the last week or so but #authors, I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again - please do not enter into hybrid publishing agreements. They are a scam and they’re terrible! Don’t do it!

i love genre blending and genre borrowing. love to be writing a fast-paced historical fantasy about chinese girl gangs and then just dropping in an atmospheric horror scene every now and then

no offense but how are you all finding such cool anthologies to submit to? 🥺👉👈 if anyone has horror, fantasy, or romance recs for open submissions--especially for bipoc & lgbtq+ writers--please share! 😊

I’m at the airport again 😅 This time, I have all my WTMP sample pages loaded up and ready to read and I CAN’T WAIT!! Shorter flight this time, so will see how much I can get through before we land.

AND THE FULL REQUESTS ARE ROLLING IN.

At this time, all submission materials from our potential mentees have been delivered to our WTMP mentors. Looking forward to the next step!!

So I’ve read all queries and a quarter of the pages I requested and lemme just say—this is going to be impossible 🫠

My second book came out 2 weeks ago and I went on a road trip with friends as a distraction. It definitely worked but now I kind of can’t believe it’s been out for 2 weeks. My mind is blown

So many absolutely BANGIN' opening lines in these Write Team Mentorship Program submissions! Truly a feast. Well done, writers!

👀

Progress Update: I'm a bit behind on emails today. Unfortunately this isn't a full-time gig. Hope everyone is having a lovely Thursday. 😊

i made a new progress tracker that focuses on chapter status instead of just tracking daily word count!! i've been posting this on my insta story daily for accountability, and lots of people have wanted the template, so i'm dropping the canva link below!

with a lot of mentorship programs starting up right now, seems like a lot of people will be spending their fall revising!! i've had a half-finished blog post rotting in my drafts about how i tackle edit letters and organize my revision process - would this be helpful for people?

Write Team Mentorship Program peeps especially!!

Happy Friday everyone!! With the spooky season, and fall spirit approaching quickly, we thought it was no better time to announce our fall season event! NOV 3rd we will host our last event of 2024! We hope to see you all there!

As I’m reading Write Team Mentorship Program submissions I am in awe of all the talent you have. I’m going to start a small teaser thread so please mute this and protect your mental health if needed. ❤️

💌THREE DAYS TIL APPLICATIONS OPEN 💌 Our mentors can't wait to see your submissions and explore your worlds 💞 Please make sure to read over our website for information on how to apply and our rules! We won't have the capacity to edit applications after they're submitted🙏

I'm sorry, but if you are not getting kind, helpful feedback on your work, that's not normal. A lot of writers can end up getting painful feedback from betas or whoever and think that's the norm. It's not. Find a new beta, etc. bc you can improve without being cut down/ destroyed
