Two dudebros who LIVE for cornhole are selected to represent Earth in an intergalactic tournament to the death. Will they win and save all humanity? Will Leah get sued for what is obviously a fair use parody of a popular movie franchise? Only one way to find out!💀 #ScreenPit #Co #Sho #Scriptsky

I just think its better to add some personal touches as opposed to boiler plate. It helps the reader connect more in my opinion

I definitely get feedback on my queries. Ive altered this query about a dozen times or more. I also try to tweak it for the person I send it to

Henry Kurkowski @henrykurkowski.substack.com · 31/08/2026

Sent out a query and got a response in 40 minutes!!! A new record! It was a rejection, but still... Querying is kinda like dropping someone off after your first date. I'd rather know right away its not gonna work out than be left wondering for weeks. 🤷🏽‍♂️ #querying #amwriting

Does anyone else get anxiety when you send a query to a literary agent's email address and there is no automated message or note that it was received? I know agents are swamped & can't respond to every query But not knowing if its sitting in a spam folder its feels heavy #AmQuerying #querytrenches

Cutting a sentence you love is the literary equivalent of throwing away tasty leftovers that are probably still good. That's why I save them in a file. 80% of the time they end up living in another chapter, or another project, but they live. #AmWriting ##WritingCommunity #WriteSky #editing

Happy Independent Bookstore Day to everyone who’s ever found themselves, lost themselves, or accidentally bought five more books than planned in a corner of a local shop. Buying a book from a local shop counts as supporting small business, self‑care, & doing something for the community. Triple win.

My op-ed in The Advocate went live yesterday. The legal question sounds narrow: can states ban trans girls from school sports? The real stakes are enormous: who gets to move through this country without constantly defending their right to be seen

Resolution culture is a setup for writers. January sells a clean break + a perfect routine… then punishes you with shame when life happens. Writing isn’t linear—it’s seasonal, messy, real. I wrote about what actually works instead. Read it here: open.substack.com/pub/henrykur...
