I'm looking for beta readers for my 94k word YA urban fantasy novel!
If you are another #author, I would love to do a #trade (beta reader for beta read).
If you are a professional, contact me about the details.
Thank you for the help!

How do you find #author friends?
Or just adult friends in general?

I may not be the fastest writer or the smartest or the most likely to get published, but I forgot where I was going with this sentence.
...
Please read my stuff.

Hey guys, just a little #curious. If you are a #published #author, how old were you when your debut came out? Was it self published or traditional? If you have done both, tell me about both!

I don't seem to get writer's block. I think I get the opposite. What do you call that? Writer's diarrhea? #writer #author #writing #WordyBeast

I need help!
I have an #audiobook addiction but don't want to give more money to real world Lex Luthor.
Any other audiobook apps people can suggest besides Audible? 📖
Thanks!

Say what you want about #TADC and it's #Fandom, but when I went to The Last Act in theaters, I saw teens in fingerless arm warmers. The #alt scene lives on! Does my 'rawr XD' heart good...

I just wish I knew what my brand is... or how to build it...
