Happy publication day to THE HENCHPERSON'S GUIDE TO UNIONIZING by @marshalljmoore.bsky.social! #TeamTriada #BookSky www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/827691...

The cover for The Henchperson's Guide to Unionizing by Marhsall J. Moore which features a simple silhouette of a Victorian-style house on a red background. Two figures are on top of the house, a taller one and a shorter one holding a shovel. Tentacles poke out of a window, and a gargoyle is on the left side of the roof. A red fist punches out of yellow earth at the bottom of the cover. The title is in bold sans-serif font across the middle of the house. The author's name is in bold sans-serif font across the bottom of the cover. At the top of the cover in white sans-serif font is the tagline: "Workers of the underworld, unite!" The sprayed edges of the book can be seen and feature white lightning bolts and a creature peering over the yellow ground at the bottom. The creature is a red being with a single eye that takes up most of its body; it has two small human-like hands.

Because community is the heart of this book. I wrote it for those who feel adrift, or trapped, or lonely. For those looking for belonging and meaning, and for those who need a gentle word of encouragement. I hope you’ll find what you need in this book, and I can’t wait to share it with you all.

Thank you to the friends, family, and fellow writers who have been part of the journey. Publishing is an industry rife with uncertainty and doubt, and your feedback, encouragement, and enthusiasm have buoyed me through the low moments. I am so grateful to belong to such an incredible community.

Thanks! There’s no such thing as unskilled labor, so it was high time the henchpeople digging up graves and piecing together body parts got their moment to shine.

“Bob trembled, and got a little nearer to the ruler. He had a momentary idea of knocking Scrooge down with it, holding him, and calling to the people in the court for help and a strait-waistcoat.”

Marshall J. Moore @marshalljmoore.bsky.social · 20/12/2024

I’m rereading A Christmas Carol and we don’t talk enough about the fact that Bob Cratchit’s first instinct on Scrooge raising his salary is to beat the old man into submission and then have him committed to an insane asylum. #achristmascarol

Writers, let’s all share a piece of writing advice that we’ve found helpful. I’ll start: The larger the cast of characters, the more you run the risk of losing reader attention. If multiple characters are serving the same story role, try condensing them into a single character. #writingcommunity

Last night I had a new student taking a trial class, and afterwards she complimented me on “how you made those guys talk about their feelings.”

I’m a Muay Thai coach. At the end of each class while we’re stretching I have everyone give feedback to the person next to them, specifically one thing they think that person did well this class and one thing they can work on for next time.
