Let’s review. $10/word for 5,000 words (standard length for Vanity Fair) — $50,000 for one story. That’s what Michael Lewis got paid in 2007. Today that’s a sweet annual income for any freelance journalist scraping by at 50 cents a word. 🤪🤪💀

I am always fascinated how publishing manages to put together all-white lists, panels, festivals, really everything in 2023 at the same time as spouting hot air about diversity…

In the past two weeks I've cut several luxury travel properties from stories because 1) PR refused to collab with me on getting assets beyond "blurbs" or 2) PR was rude. If you don't think PR has a direct impact (both + and -) on your media coverage, you're wrong.

"The texture was so on point, and it glides right onto the skin without clumping. It felt luxurious and creamy, so the colors blended like a dream even without a professional brush." -@venuswongisun

I gotta say though, Hollywood patting itself on the back for Ke Huy Quan's comeback, as if Hollywood wasn't responsible for the circumstances that made him give up on his acting career in the first place, is pretty hilarious.

I will not be doing my own research on the vaccines. Why? Because I’m a novelist. I am trusting accredited scientists and my doctors. I’m grateful to have received the vaccines which are sadly still unavailable to so many people around the world.
