It has occurred to me that, between applying for four postdocs, submitting three short stories, querying a novel to several dozen agents, and setting up a Hinge account, all within the last month, depending on how things go, I may have an opportunity to approach unprecedented levels of rejection

"Do I need to be a very accomplished short story writer before querying a novel" You do not, I wasn't, I think I had like... two or three publication credits (and a few upcoming, I hastily pointed out) when I queried Michael.

Good Tuesday morning! I’m working on a sequel to a mystery I’ll soon be querying or possibly self publishing. Happy writing, all!

I also caught @moryan.bsky.social in here, making the point that publishers need to listen to: if you are outsourcing the only real product you still have to offer (the creativity and experience of your underpaid, frazzled frontline workers) then why the fuck should any author mess with you???
I'm quoted in this article, including an embarrassing misspelling. Curse you, Adam Morgan, for your journalistic accuracy!
Also, yes, "AI" continues to suck and it's difficult to see how using it makes the publishing industry any better for anyone, staff and writers alike.

There is fucking NOTHING loving about "querying" your child's sexuality and if you think so you're deluding yourself. This is actually entirely based in hubris, thinking you own your child. I will die on that hill.
And there it is, prominent gender critical TERF / Sex and Race Realist Kathleen Stock begins the drumbeat on re-normalizing conversion therapy and abuse of lesbian and gay kids.
It was never going to stop at trans people.
