I'm leading a cohort with Futurescapes 100-Page Workshop this September! This is my favorite part of editing, talking craft while an author and I figure out how to bridge the gap between the story they're trying to tell and what's currently on the page. futurescapes.ink/100-page-wor...

I donated a query critique to Literary Agents of Change! Your donations support programming for agents from marginalized backgrounds throughout the early stages of their career. Check out my offering or other fantastic items from my colleagues across the industry: www.32auctions.com/organization...

Graphic that reads: I donated to the Literary Auction for Change. Auction: June 8 - June 12

A graphic that reads: When marginalized agents have a seat at the table, it creates a more diverse, equitable, and inclusive industry where marginalized authors can find passionate advocates. Together, we hope that every reader will have the chance to open up a book, and see themselves.

A graphic that reads: What: A bookish auction fundraising for Literary Agents of Change, an all-volunteer 501(c)-3 nonprofit. We offer fellowship and mentorship programs geared toward improving access and retention for literary agents from underrepresented groups working in publishing.

For the visual thinkers, here's an inside peak at a graph of the queries I've received through QueryTracker in the last year--undecided in blue, passes in red, and the genres I'm prioritizing underlined in purple. (That's a lot of adult speculative fiction, and not very much contemporary YA.)

A bar graph titled "Fiction Queries (Received Over The Past Year)" showing "Queries Received by Genre" on the Y axis and 19 genres on the X axis. Unanswered Queries are in blue and rejected queries are in red. There are several hundred queries each in the Horror, Picture Book, Young Adult Fantasy, Fantasy, and Science Fiction sections, about 1/3 unanswered. The other categories show roughly 100 queries in each category. Young Adult Rom-Com, Young Adult Suspense, Young Adult Thriller, Young Adult Contemporary, and Middle Grade Mystery have been underlined in purple (and each has fewer than 100 total queries).

I, on the other hand, would never do such a thing, because I'm nice now

this has been a difficult week for reasons entirely unrelated to work but this meme my client sent me really brightened my day

The meme where someone progressively puts on more clown makeup. next to the first image (least amount of makeup), the text reads: "I want to break into the movie business." Next to the second image: "plots are hard." Next to the third image: "Vibes are a plot probably." Next to the fourth image (full clown wig, nose, and makeup): "Paula can figure it out."

for context he went from this floor length sequined leopard print quilted monstrosity to a weird little backless jumpsuit in the middle of the duet #sanremo

Who is in charge of stocking the pasta shapes at my local grocery store? Why are they choosing the worst shapes? You won't carry orecchiette or pici but you're giving me the choice of creste di gallo and spaghetti rigati?

a screenshot from a group chat that reads:

Paula Weiman: are we sure we haven't already discussed spinning silver? i remember monologuing at length on my analysis on the recursive narrative structure as a symbolic adaptation of Rumpelstiltskin

there's a reply to a previous message, then a group member responds: you've talked about it but we haven't read

I mostly listen to music via an mp3 player so my spotify wrapped is never representative of what I actually listen to, but I guess I forgot spotify existed this year and these results are killing me.

there are times when I feel inordinately pleased with the life I've built for myself. here's a text I sent today

Screenshot of a text that reads: oh in further developments of my life in new york being a sitcom side character (no clowns this time): I was working from the library this
