Meta has something like 70,000 employees and it is nigh impossible to reach one of them to receive help on fraud accounts or hacking. Not just creators, but agents, publishers. We have contacts, they ghost or disappear. Clients with millions of followers, doesn't matter. Disgraceful.

The hardest thing about deleting social media apps (yes, to hop on at 3:38am because sleeping is overrated) is not being able to shout about all the amazing books coming out from my amazing clients.

Cover picture of "A Hundred Billion Trillion Stars".  In the background, a galaxy of stars.  At the top, text in white saying "For Those Who Love Numbers, Stars, & STEM".  At the bottom in small white text is "Privacy x GarWu".

I'm glad he tried. That's what I asked my kid and assumed would happen, but... it didn't? So... what am I supposed to do to my kid who feels badly after watching?

He said his friends didn't even know what ADHD was so he's also upset because now they think it's a bad thing, something we have worked hard to overcome. Again, I haven't seen, but I'm not sure it even matters, if this is how it's received by a 10 year old boy with ADHD.

My son saw the Dog Man movie last night and today told me that he felt really sad because the villain was called ADHD. I haven't seen the movie, but if the targeted audience who has ADHD comes home upset because a movie portrays something that's part of him as a 'villain', that doesn't sit well...

Just started THE SAINT OF BRIGHT DOORS by @vajra.me on a plane. People ask me all the time how to hook an agent on a first page and this is a masterclass. Look at the first two lines… We are given tone, magic, world build, questions. The use of ‘therapy’ grounds us after a first line of magic.

Happy Thanksgiving yall. What books did you find at your parents’ or in-laws’ house that you wanted to pull out and share with your kids? Mine was A Wrinkle In Time and Johnny Tremain (my kid is obsessed with Hamilton).

I really love the Hugo and Nebula award category of editor (long and short). A great place to highlight new and long term talent. I find it strange how often the winner is let go from their job… but still.

So suddenly we know so many things, and want to know so much more. Brilliant. And I’ll note: some of my assumptions from these lines are off. But that is ok!

It turns out both things are true. You have to make it as polished as you can and then an editor will make it better.
