Thrilled to share today that I’ve signed with Natalie Sun at HG Literary to represent me and HANNAH MCCOY TAKES A STAND!
I'm going to say this with a bit of frustration, but fuck all the way off, Oliver.
This isn’t my first book so I am quite familiar with the editing process.
I’m also an agented author pursuing trad pub so I don’t hire editors.
Thanks, though!
#amediting vibe of the day
(it’s been four weeks and I’m like halfway done the big edit so it’s actually pretty fast, I’m just impatient)
Last two weeks have had me stressed on your behalf!
So incredibly happy for my friend and also ECSTATIC that this book is a step closer to being on my shelf!
It's been a long time coming. Canadian independent bookstores have banded together to create an online book buying source so you can avoid the behemoth in the room. (Here are the titles published by CMU Press, which I run.)

I don’t know how to use chatgpt etc but I imagine it’s going to a website and typing “oh no what groceries do I buy please tell me false god for I am so weak I cannot go on” as your brain atrophies and leaks out of your ears from disuse and the machine is like “buy eggs milk bread and a horse”
I’ve gotta go write a murder or something now, holy fucking shit nuts
Oh boy, this hockey game hasn’t even started and it’s already bad for my blood pressure
Significantly, thank you lol
Great intro thread for all things RevPit!
Highly recommend participating for unagented authors pursuing trad pub with a manuscript ready to go! Even without winning, I learned so much, got great advice, and made so many connections, all of which definitely helped me get #agented

I’m mad about how the pictures are lined up instead of the buttons closing in the middle
Just a reminder that if you hate NBC’s coverage of the Olympics, that gem.cbc.ca has coverage of •every• event intelligent, researched commentary. (Plus Schitt’s Creek, North of North, etc)

Screenshot of an interview on NPR's website with writer David Simon. SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without AI, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems... SIMON: What? SHAPIRO: ...Or saying... SIMON: You imagine that? SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over. SIMON: I don't think AI can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level. SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an AI and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this. SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.
This is the only correct response.

It's Mandatory Monday and AI is clearly the future.

We've lost an amazing editor and friend. We'll miss Megan deeply. Thank you for all you've brought to this world.

I did a great job getting the blood out of that
Age verification? I have a chicken pox scar because they hadn't come out with the vaccine yet.
Someone who churns out hundreds of AI "books" and makes money tricking people into buying them thinking they're getting a novel isn't a writer. They're a scammer.
They're no more an author than a snake oil salesman is a doctor. It's just fundamentally a different thing.
I'm going to win.
AND I DIDN’T USE AI FOR ANY OF IT BECAUSE I’M NOT A FUCKING LOSER
Today I did at least 20 minutes of research for two words in this book 😂
