Asked AI to translate Buddha's Four Noble Truths as if Steve Jobs was doing it: 1. "Life has bugs" 2. "The bug is wanting the wrong things" 3. "You can debug this" 4. "Here's the patch" Buddha was basically a UX designer for consciousness 🧘‍♂️💻 https://t.co/GzrYU7oIn4

I am totally going to make @niranjan_p do this. :)

Hi Agents, I'm excited to yell off the rooftops that I'm open to submissions at @Zandoprojects, acquiring a range of MG, YA, and select picture books and graphic novels across all genres! Please feel free to get in touch if you have any questions on the below! #MSWL🧵

Well, as this place continues to fall apart, I’ll keep sharing my advice tidbits. ✉️ 20 successful queries. 📑 5 book proposals that sold. 🚀 A guide to writing IP. 🔍 How to find agents. All on here, all free. https://t.co/nrhFVxXbJE Good luck, wherever we all end up. ❤️

& many thanks to all my writing buddies who carried me on their typewriters- @1IdealistGirl @AngieHiSeattle @torridtext @arrrroooooo @McKenzieBoyd08 @ByGeorgeJreije without all their support and the vision of @jenazantian and @alyzaliu this beautiful story wouldn’t exist

My first time in Scotland. The countryside is magnificent. Edinburgh is magical. It's like time stopped here somewhere in the previous century. Loving every second here except it is COLD. My god it is cold. No matter what anyone says, 13 degrees is NOT SUMMER. 🧊😅

Here I am, finally in place @BloomsburyBooks 🥳 Agents, authors, please send me your finest commercial and bookclub fiction - romance, comedy, family drama, dilemma fiction, high concept fiction, coming of age and - as always - ANYTHING ABOUT TWINS. I am ready!

🚨ATTN: QUERYING AUTHORS🚨 Querying is hard. No, seriously, it’s HELL. It’s the WORST thing you’ll EVER have to do as an author. Even if you leave your agent and have to query again, the second time is immensely easier. Anyone who says otherwise is lying to you. 🌝

There's no way I can do this all in a single Twitter thread, but I at least want to cover the basics as to how a writer goes about structuring a novel. Whether we're talking about outlining, writing, or revising, the following are some ways to build out your manuscript. 🧵 1/?

Look what arrived 👀👀 These are the STUNNING hardcopies of the UK edition of SING ME TO SLEEP and I’m obsessed with them 😍 So excited to have my final copies because wow this whole “being an author” thing is starting to feel real

My debut Contemporary YA novel is out today FATIMA TATE TAKES THE CAKE 🍰 🍰🍰 The dedication: To those teens who are viewed as not Black enough while at the same time judged for not being Muslim enough, I tell stories for you. You are seen here. Welcome #HolidayHousebooks

Monday, I kick your ass. #morningmotivation

Should you write for the market? @VS_Antoinette: "It’s always better to write the story that you want and not what you think agents or publishers are looking for. I can often tell when a book is written purely for the joy and love for the craft/genre." https://t.co/2op6ihhx3m

In the manuscripts I edit, there's a HUGE difference between those that were written with an outline and those that were completely pantsed. Having an outline makes revision so much faster and easier, but what's the best way to make one? 🧵 #amwriting #WritingCommunity 1/?

This news, 17 years in the making, and it has taken sweat, grit, love, and patience. Thrilled to announce that my debut novel "The Garden of Delights" will be published by @flametreepress in 2024!!! Magical flowers, angry automatons, Indian myths meet Miyazaki.

I finally buckled and bought an HBO subscription. And it's the best ten dollars I've spent in a while. OMG. These shows. Now I KNOW what I was missing.

Deep breath Alex don’t fuck this up don’t fuck this up. My debut novel is officially available for preorder 🥹🥹🥹

Trying to plot a thriller. Send help. This stuff is hard. My respect for thriller and mystery writers has exponentially grown since I started my own process. How do you all do it? And so well. 😭😭 #WritingCommmunity

I just discovered the writing of Tananarive Due, & I'm now officially a FAN!! Ghost Summer is a fantastic collection of spooky stories set in the imaginary town of Gracetown, though there is nothing blessed about the place. The writing is nothing short of electric. Loving it.
