Bro korean beauty standards are no joke. Landed in Seoul and visited a salon for a haircut. The stylist looked at my hair and said "a haircut won't make your hair look better, you have to take care of it" 💀 roasted, called fugly, and left dead in a ditch by the Koreans

My mom used to take my sisters and me to parties to meet rich guys. It worked out for my sister but I kept running into an unsociable asshole who later blindsided me by proposing in the RAIN. I said "you were the last man in the world I could ever be prevailed upon to marry"

As someone who also got punched in NYC last summer, I'm skeptical of conspiracy theories that it's the same guy or these are coordinated attacks. Women have always been randomly assaulted here. The less sensational story is that the city doesn't treat the mentally ill & NYPD suck
this is so nuts there are a bunch of women getting punched in the face in nyc rn all over tiktok. i don’t know if it’s all the same guy some of the stories seem slightly different but some of them seem similar

me: the fact that cait corrain presented herself as an ally while trying to sabotage authors of color behind the scenes is indicative of how racism in publishing is more about co-opting diversity without actual support

Rich ppl truly need to be poor, not to lessen wealth inequality but so they can spend their time working a job instead of whatever this is
I know this is doing the rounds, but JK Rowling is leveraging her wealth to silence people rightly calling her a Holocaust denier with lawyers. JK Rowling is a Holocaust denier, and being rich should not give you a free pass to abuse people.

Let's be real, the top tier book adaptation for any author would be a Studio Ghibli film. Truly the cream of the crop
Question for all authors...
Book, film, tv series, musical, radio series, theatre production, opera or music album...
If you could choose one of your books to be successful, which medium would suit best?

Ah yes the overwhelming pressures Cait Corrain has faced, much like authors of color dealing with racial discrimination in publishing, their success being attributed to diversity, their representation as following a trend, and their existence as competition against white peers
"The sad story of Cate Corrain spotlights the overwhelming pressures authors face."

Both police and news media benefit from pushing the narrative of the "genius" serial killer. It puts less fault on the police for being incompetent if the killer was "incredibly smart", and it sells a more appealing story for true crime fans.
Hey so, I’m a lawyer, huge “true crime” fan and a police/prison abolitionist.
Let’s play a game. Show me a serial killer and I’ll point out the police incompetence necessary for the killer to kill.
Police do NOT keep you safe. Least of all, from serial killers. Prove me wrong.

Adding onto this discourse to say: I've received an offer from an agent who didn't know I had a big platform until the actual call when they recognized me.
I'm sure there are agents who care, but they likely aren't very good agents in the first place if that's their priority.
With deepest respect, I completely disagree. I rarely check social media of potential clients, and when I do it’s not for numbers but for red flags.

Tech bros are interesting because they'll build a whole Notion template for their relationship with links to "Our principles" and it's just a page that says "Be patient and understanding"
My wife and I use Notion religiously to manage our day-to-day life. Here's a screenshot of our set-up.
I turned this into a template, let me know if you'd like to see it!

Social media CAN help for sales, which is why it wouldn’t be surprising if publishers factor this. But every agent I’ve interacted with always cares about the story & writing first and foremost. If u hate being on SM, it's not worth forcing it. More effective to focus on ur book.

Ultimately, while I think social media can help, the lack of it won't hinder your chances of getting an offer. I’ve received plenty of rejections even from putting my numbers in my query letter. When it comes time to sell the book to publishers though? Not sure. I'll report back!

SM can help your reach for agents tho. My first offer was from someone who followed me. While I believe they wouldn’t have offered if it wasn’t the right fit, I wouldn’t have known about their agency if they hadn’t reached out to me in the first place bc they saw I was querying
