Just how bad is my "Can't deal with zombies" issue??? I got a query about zombies the other day, read a few pages, sent my typical "This is great but I cannot handle zombies," response and woke up screaming at 2:32 AM last night because zombies were going to eat my face. Y'all! I am cursed.

I'm hearing from editors that book pitches in Mystery & Thriller need to be high concept or need a big conceptual hook and since these are terms usually used in SFF, I think some Mys/Thr writers are struggling with what this means. It means familiar tropes with a cool unique NEW factor.

Every manuscript I ever sold has been in Word.docx. I have only ever submitted to publishers in that format. Legit questions Editors: Can you accept a submission in Google docs? Would you? Would it be required to convert to Word if it were acquired?

So many The Other Bennet Sister spoilers here in the US I bought the book and read it over the weekend. So, good job! I guess. Book sales. YAY! I'm sure I'm not the only one who did that, but still. All the spoilers. It's a little disappointing.

Note to writers: No, your agent does not deserve to get a commission on your Anthropic copyright settlement payout. No, your publisher should not charge an administrative fee for filing claims on your behalf (and why would you want them to? It's easy to do yourself).

At a writing conference today, so my annual reminder. If you book time to chat with editors or agents, and you’re pitching your work… just read your query. Don’t try to memorize things and put that extra pressure on yourself. It’s not an audition for a play, my friends.

A tip for the masses: I'm not a fan of books written primarily from the killer's POV. Certain chapters from that POV, sure, as long as the chapters advance the plot. But do I find a psychopath's brain a place I want to dwell for 70k-90k words? Definitely not. Seek elsewhere. I'm not your gal.

Got to read this last week and it's fantastic. A wonderfully dark and creepy story about monsters, people who are turned into monsters, and some who just choose to be monsters. Preorder it and check it out.
