Oh to put this in perspective. I have had 1005 queries total across 5 months. And have 866 from those months to review. But don't worry, I have a system, my clients are on sub, so responses should be going out steadily.
Well queries are closed and it's my highest month yet at 226. In good news I'm caught up on queries to July 8th!

OK yall. I'm not mad mad. But please don't pitch in my comments. It's perfectly acceptable if I haven't seen your pitch (there's so many) but you think I'm a fit, your book is on my mswl, just feel free to query me.

Same rules! But Also I'm closing on the 7th. If you are not ready by the 7th, please message when you are ready (And still think we're a fit) and I will give you a special pitch link to query. #questpit
Gonna peak into #PitDark today. If I like your post and you think we're a fit please query me when I open in a couple days at https://t.co/gJhjRugj7k referred by PitDark. If you've already queried me or I've already passed please DM me.

How is an ND author supposed to focus on their day jobs and non authorly things when authorly things are authorly-ing?! 🫠

Mercury is Sextile in Pluto today. Mercury is communication, your writing style, and Pluto is reformation or revisions! Sextile means they're harmonized, so it's a great time to work on revisions!

Types of publishers/editors they sub to. Round size. Number of rounds. Editorial. Communication style and frequency. Asking to talk to other clients.
Agented authors: What questions did you ask (or wish you had asked) during the call? ☎️ Asking for a friend. 👀
