It’s publication day for the fabulous Amy Goldmacher’s flash memoir, Terms & Conditions, AND it’s anti-prime days over at bookshop.org - support indie bookstores, debut authors, and keep a few bucks back from the billionaire overlords while you’re at it 🤩 #booksky

Hot take that's not a hot take: I don't want to read your AI-assisted/inspired/brainstormed/edited book.

I work at a public library. People who want to use AI seem to have no trouble doing so. People who don't want to use AI have a harder time. I crowdsourced and then finalized this document "How to disable or avoid intrusive AI" and then gave it a short URL: notoai.org Please pass along if it's useful

Half the planet is having a massive fight about how to correctly interpret an Ancient Greek poem but go ahead, close some more humanities departments.

Once again blowing authors’ minds in a workshop by referencing an effective book proposal that started with the simple, informative sentence “this is a book about the contemporary novel” because it helped me immediately get my footing before diving into the specificity of their focus and argument.

Unsolicited writing advice, no. 9254: You can't do everything yourself. Be a writer - not an editor, not a jacket designer, not a marketeer. If you want your work to earn respect, show equal space and respect for the other people whose work makes yours shine.

Please take a moment to remind the National Capital Planning Commission that triumphal arches celebrate emperors... and last I checked, the United States doesn't have one.

Love spending a half hour trying to (unsuccessfully) turn off a new hovering Copilot icon traveling with me through a client's ms. Copilot is off, but this thing remains - OMG so distracting! Something moving around in my peripheral vision in the doc is making me want to throw my computer - ugh!

I sat on a jury for a murder trial once. There was one woman who decided the defendant was guilty based on a completely out-of-left-field sequence of events that she made up entirely - she invented her own timeline and crime scene 🤪 It sounded a lot like this. We all just sat there like...

Love this great advice, but what in the world is a "ghost editor?" Looks like it's just a developmental editor you're not supposed to tell anyone about? I'm biased (as a dev editor myself) but can I instead suggest shouting your editors' praises far and wide? Good ones celebrate you & your work!

Last Summer's "Book Proposal Summer Camp" was so much fun, I decided to bring it back for twice as much fun this year. 2 sessions - June & July - for academic and trade nonfiction writers. Let me know if you have questions! thewritemalloy.com/summer-camp/

Changes in the roles (legal, social, cultural) of English queens before and after 1066. Which I hadn’t thought about in years until I gave a talk on a cruise ship with the Bayeux Tapestry in the stairwells… and now I give talks on the tapestry! Crazy full circle!

“If faculty use a feature like AI grading to remove themselves from the responsibility of providing feedback and having conversations with students... That short-circuits human connection” So teaching can be replaced by AI, but the "real" human work - grading - is saved for the faculty - omg

Today marks the first day of Women's History Month; yesterday was the last day of Black History Month. Every day is for women's history and Black history and Black women's history. Because these are not histories that are separate from histories of war and economy.

I’ve had some wine on my flight, I’ve watched a great, uplifting halftime show, and I’m on my way to go do work at the British Library. In this brief moment, I feel like life is OK - like it turned out the way it was supposed to after all. It’s surreal… it will pass.🤪
