Dolly Parton was a supporter of Willa B. Farms, an animal rescue in Old Hickory, TN. I hope you will consider a donation in her memory. 💔 www.willabfarms.com/donate

Reminder: Check those email addresses if you hear from an agent or editor out of nowhere. A friend of mine nearly hired an “editor” that an “agent” referred them to. It was close. You might be tired of hearing book people talk about these scams but scammers wouldn’t keep at it if they didn’t work.

Lotta folks talking resolutions, so a quick reminder to focus on goals you can control. Instead of making it about agents or deals, focus on things like reading more to improve your craft, finding ways to support your peers, drafting something new… You don’t need anyone else, to chase those goals.

Do not normalize children dying from measles. Measles was previously eliminated in the US, thanks to vaccines. When children die from measles, it means that adults have catastrophically failed to protect them because they have rejected basic science.
