Anyone know how much it actually costs to change the name from Defense to War? I’m thinking of all the infrastructure, signs, official correspondence, etc. We just went through DOGE to save money. What does a department name change cost?.

Absolutely gorgeous night for a game. The last five minutes gets us every time.

I would also really love the ability to jump to my query in an agent’s list in data explorer - especially when sorted by date sent.
The QueryTracker feature I desperately need:. The ability to save multiple sample page lengths. Some agents request five pages. Some 10. Some 50. All you need is a drop-down where they're stored, that I could select on each form, and it would make things SO MUCH EASIER. 🫶.

I am so thankful for the music supervisors on @thesummeritp and Jenny Han for writing letters to artists to use their music. And probably @PrimeVideo for that budget. Chef's kiss for the whole series!!.

I made gluten free biscuits and gravy for the first time since the celiac diagnosis. Biscuits were not from scratch but the gravy was!! Still needs a little work but it’s close.

#WritingCommunity and #amquerying friends - is there a discord for authors who are querying their books this year? Like a 2025 querying class? lol.

I need Jensen Ackles and Ben Barnes to collab on a movie together. Perhaps they’re brothers in a band and a girl comes between them. Sabrina-esque or TSITP but make it for adults.

Love this! My story is still going but it’s kind of amazing how an idea went from the notes app to a fully R&Rd draft with a unique legal system and fanfictiony romance!
Oooo, I have a trend I want to see start up for debuting / published authors here. “How the book started.” VS “how it ended.”

I proofed my synopsis every time I’ve sent it to an agent and so many times in between. Tell me why I just discovered a random “is” in the second line?!!!?.

I absolutely loved this idea!! Working through my own query experience (I can’t do origami so trying another way). I need to come up with a way to differentiate requests, etc - I planned to paint the edges but it’s not really working.
This for anyone still in the trenches. 🪷Every flower a rejection.🦋 4 butterfly full requests.🐀 A small press that offered then ghosted.⭐️ Finally, a yes, 14 months into querying. 🌈 My debut novel hitting bookshelves in 10 weeks 🤩

After listening to @flublishing today, I wondered how many agent likes I've received for Moons - then, unrelated, how many partials/fulls I've had:. 10 Agent likes.5 Full requests (one small press, one R&R).2 Partial requests. Still waiting to hear on a few, and still querying!!!.
SJM x Grisham. When magic suddenly reappears in the walled city of Portmere, a tenacious young defense attorney fights a ruthless government crackdown - risking her career, her sanity, and her very freedom - to defend its people and ensure magic's survival. #QuestPit #A #F

"I can understand why you believe. there’s only so much opportunity to go around. If one person takes a bigger slice, everyone else has to take a smaller slice and the total size of the pie remains the same. And that is true with actual pie. Not with opportunity." E. Banks.
