AUTHOR PRO-TIP: If you ever find yourself negotiating a TV option, you can ask to be considered for a spot in the writers' room, if the show gets picked up. They might say no. But they might say yes! You don't get things you don't ask for.

Thinking of adding a new service: dev edit of your first 20k words. An option if you're still tinkering, or if a full edit of the entire book is too costly. $750 all-in and I'll have it back to you in a week. Feedback will be instructive and address story strength/writing issues. Thoughts?

Reminds me of the time someone came up to me after a panel and tried to hand me their printed manuscript to give to my agent and I had to tell them "first introduce yourself and second no." Seriously folks, a little decorum goes a long way. Don't be like this.

Talking to a potential editorial client and they want to know how quickly we can get the book to agents so I will say it again so everyone can hear it in all four corners of the land: ONE OF THE BIGGEST MISTAKE WRITERS MAKE IS WANTING TO PUBLISH MORE THAN WANTING TO WRITE WELL.

Two things about the latest AI publishing "scandal." 1. I'm worried we're getting into witch-hunt territory. Besides letting someone do a forensic analysis of your computer how do you prove you didn't use AI? 2. It's weird that this is happening almost exclusively to Black authors?

Currently watching the third season of the Daryl Dixon Walking Dead show on Netflix and it is astounding how many typos there are in the subtitles under the Spanish dialogue. Like, an embarrassing amount. It's fun living in a world where the more we pay for things, the worse they get.

Looking for new editorial clients. My specialty is developmental editing--helping you see what's working and what's not, with an eye toward making your book appealing to publishers and ready for submission to agents. My turnaround time is generally 3-4 weeks but for a limited time, I can do it in 2!

Mainstream Respectable opinion is that people joking about a bad person's death represents a culture of cruelty, but really it represents a culture of impunity. It's a coping mechanism for watching someone do evil their whole life and never seeing consequences

My new fav thing to do when I get a robotext from the Dems asking for money is to reply "Fuck off." It unsubscribes you the same as typing "end", so clearly they were getting that response so much they had to program it in. I will give the Dems money when they earn it by doing literally anything.
