lock tf in. get your ass in mutual aid groups. lend your time to meal services. care for people in the way a vote simply never could. advocate for community gardens and libraries. stop betraying community. you don’t get a sticker or gold star. lock in.

we're not put on this earth to do things, we're here to learn and love and be fascinated. not letting fear and bigotry devour your soul is an accomplishment. finding beauty in the mundane is an accomplishment. keep the flame of your wonder alive and let no one snatch it from you.

After being closed for over half a year, I'm re-opening to queries in two weeks starting May 1st. Please be gentle...! 🐙
Focusing mainly on fiction these days: I love big, juicy, ambitious genre-defying literary novels that are as entertaining as they are profound(ly moving).
For those of you who may have been waiting to query @AnnieAHwang, we're excited to share that she'll finally be re-opening to queries in two weeks! 📚✨She'll be accepting submissions only during the month of May, so get your query letters ready!
#QueryAlert #OpenToQueries
ALT Literary agent Annie Hwang is opening to queries from May 1-31.

I hope you find time this week to do the nourishing, soul-filling things: writing a poem or plotting a novel, board games with the family, reading for education, reading for pleasure, reading for any reason whatsoever.

Female internet investigators uncovering that the Kate Middleton picture was actually taken in late 2023 based on the matched ribbing on Kate Middleton’s sweater (which is only sold in two colors -white and cream) and therefore Kate’s black sweater was photoshopped.

"Novels can open up worlds in the way no other form can: this accomplished debut is proof of it." What a rave review for @SarahCMarsh A SIGN OF HER OWN in @guardian. I could not agree more!! theguardian.com/books/2024/f…

Premature roll call: Any Jewish writers out there who are planning on AWP next year and who might be into a panel on diasporic yearning in our writing - an expressly anti-Zionist Jewish writers' panel? Could be fiction/prose-centric, or multi-genre.

As stressful as this transition has been, I've had a brilliant two first days in the BBC office and my latest article has come out. Which reminds me that this is all what it's for.

I sold a book in 2023, but until I've finished writing the damn thing, the thing I am proudest of is the community we've created with the Accountability Workshops. I always wanted to be part of a serious writing community that didn't involve workshopping - and now we have it.
