Unpopular opinion: Fiction doesn't need to teach you a lesson to be worth reading.

When I was in little school my class went on a field trip. We took paper from our backpacks and wrote "HELP! KIDNAPPED!" and held them up to the windows. We even put duct tape over our mouths some times. people thought it was funny, the teachers did not.

The fact that we domesticated wolves but never figured out how to negotiate with geese is one of humanity’s great unfinished projects.

Truth about the #writerslife is most of us spend more than we make on our books, whether selling few or many.
All we want in return is to know you enjoyed our books or got something out of them, & it wasn't in vain, so please let it be known through ratings, reviews, posts!🙏

Please, please normalize saying, “That book wasn’t for me,” without turning it into a whole fandom war
Brilliantly bizarre.
Almost an entire American town lives in one building.
Whittier, Alaska, has roughly 270 residents. Most of them live in Begich Towers, a 14-storey former army block with the post office, police station, a shop, a clinic and a church inside it.

Whenever I hear "Storm Austen" I picture Jane Austen's funky Gen Z descendant: a student at Bath uni who can't get enough of clubbing with her sisters and documents her life as the anonymous author of a satirical substack about dating and the patriarchy

Nothing makes you feel like a better writer than finding a typo in a bestseller. You don’t learn anything, but you do feel unstoppable for about 20 seconds.

Writing a book is hard. Marketing it yourself is harder. If you're doing both, you're not behind, you're doing two jobs. Give yourself some credit today.

Beginning to get the measure of Great Western now. I have a reserved seat. But the coach I am reserved in doesn’t exist!

Spent 20 minutes picking a font. The client won't even notice.
The 1% nobody sees is always the 1% that makes the design feel right. 🫶🏻
