Looking back at the stories the Bulletin covered in Disruptive Tech in 2025, the pattern of how large tech companies with enormous power have permeated nearly every bit of contemporary life can be seen in clear ink. Here are five pieces that explore this phenomenon. thebulletin.org/2025/12/a-ye...

A year in review: How Big Tech redefined governance and the economy in 2025

Disruptive technology stories that explore the artificial intelligence revolution and the influence of powerful technology companies.

Excellent interview with Danya Kukafka about her writing process, particularly how Notes on an Execution evolved. Yes, evolved--novels, especially great ones can take a LONG time to get there. Keep going! podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/i...

#writers looking for agents. You don't have to 'know' someone. I've signed clients from Querymanager and sold their books. Here's a great example--Tamara L. Miller (Into the Fall, Thomas & Mercer 2025) talks about her experience on David Gwyn's Thriller 101 podcast. thriller101.com/tamar…

Sorry! I was open to horror crossovers for a while--such as thrillers with elements of horror, but wasn't getting what I was looking for--check out my colleagues' mswl on the Aevitas website--they may be looking. Good luck!

#writers I opened back up to queries and some people have questioned whether I'm using an algorithm because I respond quickly--nope. I read every query myself and I know what I'm looking for, so yes, I can be fast. I respect every writer who submits. Keep going. I'm rooting for you all. 💪📚

I don’t know how else to explain this…if you’re cheering for someone else’s rights to be taken away, you’re cheering for your own to disappear too. This isn’t cake. You don’t get more by refusing to share. Either everyone has rights, or no one really does. Thats it. It’s simple.

This is 4-8% of my budget. We'll survive. But we are all going to have to buy more books and support the institutions we want to keep around for the next four years.

Ever tried in-person writing meetups? Local writing groups connect you with like-minded writers and help you carve out dedicated writing time. Even if feedback isn’t built into the program, you can potentially find critique partners there. Here’s where to look. ⬇️

if the government is willing to disappear immigrants for their writing, they’re willing to do the same to citizens.

Here is a script you can use for any issue. Find your reps' # at reps.fyi or 5calls.org. Every time you see a news story that horrifies you: call, or something else about it. It matters to say what you believe. You are setting a norm.

Hi, my name is [NAME], I'm a constituent in [ZIP CODE]. I'm calling because I saw that [TERRIBLE THING] is happening. I think this is appalling. [PERSONAL STORY, if you have one.] I want you to do everything you can to stop this. I will remember your actions when I cast my next vote. Thank you.
