Get multiple pairs of eyes on your querying materials. Remember how many people you're up against - a rejection doesn't mean your work is bad, you just have a competition pool of thousands. Look at agents, but also small presses, pitch events and other routes. But don't pay to publish!

I did 21 of the 42 edits I need to make to my sequel on this editing pass. They were the smallest actions, mostly odd typos, but I can claim that means I'm halfway through, right? Right? #iamediting #booksky

Oh, gosh, my next book is going to be here in ONLY THREE DAYS!! Kindle: www.amazon.com/dp/B0HJFD2TG9 Kobo: www.kobo.com/us/en/ebook/... Itch: hs-kallinger.itch.io/vampire-wolf Ko-Fi: ko-fi.com/s/aa192f1e58

To the left, in pink on a black and space background, next to a pink nebula: What happens when you expose someone carrying an infection-based form of vampirism to a werewolf disease? It's something Gabriel and Lex never even imagined having to answer.

Coming home for the summer didn't exactly provide the vacation Gabby was hoping for. In the middle of a stressful fight, he freaks out and attempts to replicate the gift he used to meet Lex three years ago, despite repeated failures. It works.

Landing in a new world, that conundrum is carved into Gabby's skin. Will they cancel each other out? Gabby hopes so. If not, then he's going to have a whole new problem on his hands—or claws—if he can even find his way home!

The worst part is, that isn't even the last big question in store for his family. Everything he knows is about to change. Of course, no matter what his first feelings may be, change isn't always bad. Sometimes, it's the very thing you didn't know you needed.

To the right, the cover for Vampire Wolf by H.S. Kallinger: A nighttime forest under a pale, full moon barely visible behind heavy clouds, is blanketed with snow, all in tones of blue, except for the trail of blood following wolf footprints away into the darkness. Distantly, various sets of eyes glow from the shadows. The title is rendered in blue light in the sky. Author name is blood red in the snow in the lower left corner. In white lettering at the top is "Book Three of the Found Humanity series."

Middle: book spine reads Vampire Wolf, H.S. Kallinger, 3.

As much as it's clearly a question of basic human morality that the RNLI save everyone they can, regardless of circumstances, what is the alternative being proposed by the far right? They're volunteers - are we suggesting they should have the power to determine who lives and dies at sea?

So, I have a *lot* of fun with necromancy, and the different things that a person could variously resurrect or exorcise. Also, no magic swords here. The characters hold tight enough to looted brass knuckles and their One Decent Knife.

To link back to my answer to Q2, the paradigm (for me) in using magic to shine a light on your themes is Frances Hardinge. In particular... - A Skinful of Shadows - The Lie Tree - Cuckoo Song - Verdigris Deep - Unraveller.

For fantasy? Magic. Broadly defined, whether it's spells, monsters, ghosts etc. Moreover, the protagonists' interactions with magic should be crucial to the progression and resolution of the story. Ideally, the types of magic we see should shine a light on the book's characters and themes.

Listen…fall is basically here, and LUCIANUS will take you straight to those autumn-swamped forests 🍂 and fire-lit inns 🍻 just saying! I’m from New England, I couldn’t help it, lol. Find the book here: mybook.to/lucianus

The cover of “Lucianus” on a purple landscape background, and at the top it says “Out now!” Various descriptive blurbs are scattered around it, including “D&D-inspired magic!” “A feared wizard brought back to life for one more task!” and “Queernormative worldbuilding!”

On a purple landscape background, a quote reads “Adventure with plenty of spell-slinging, a fun ‘fish out of water’ feel for Lucianus…and a touch of romance…I liked both our leads tremendously. — Jenny on Goodreads”

"Maybe everything feels political because we've turned basic human decency into something you have to vote for." Basic human rights are just that. Why do we have a system where people can go in and alter these as they wish? Some things should not be up for a vote, ever. #VoteBlue #Pinks

"I'm just tired of everything being political."

So am I.
I'm tired of whether a child gets lunch being political.
Whether a sick person gets medicine being political.
Whether a family gets to stay housed being political.
Whether clean water is worth protecting being political.
Maybe everything feels political because we've turned basic human decency into something you have to vote for.

Your occasional reminder that performative sneering at whole genres of fiction is not a sign of intelligence, nor is performative misery a sign of superior talent. Read what brings you joy. No-one else gets to decide or to control what that means to you.
