Today’s Line Edit revelation: I am apparently obsessed with the word ‘carefully’ 🙄 #debutauthor #writersoftwitter #WritingCommunity
Step 1 may also be partly about procrastinating about the big plot rearranging. It’s all useful though, right? #writerslife #middlegrade #WritingCommmunity #amquerying
Step 1 of tackling my Reducing Word Count challenge today is going through my manuscript for unnecessary filler words. Turns out I sprinkle the word ‘that’ over everything at all opportunities. Don’t even get me started on ‘very’! #writerscommunity #middlegrade #writerslife
Is there a resource for seeing the word count of various books? Am interested in looking at word counts of MG books as I look at cutting mine down for a rewrite. #amquerying #writerscommunity #middlegradefiction #authorscommunity
Looking over the pace of my manuscript following some useful feedback. Thanks to the agent who, despite passing on a full request, gave me such positive constructive comments. Classy and very helpful. Hopefully this edit will tighten the pace up and get me a yes from someone 🤞🥺
Isn't this amazing? All those tickets have been paid for by gorgeous, generous people in just one day! They are going to do so much good. Please keep sharing and talking about this. It's so important that books are made available for all children. Thank you so so much to everyone
Calling all emerging YA and children’s writers. 1st prize: £1000 - novel opening, £500 - picture book. 2nd prize: editorial feedback. Shortlisted entries: featured in our coveted agent/publisher pitch book. Judged by literary agents Lorna Hemingway and Rachel Petty. #Kidlit
Biting my nails waiting to hear back from full requests out at the moment and initial queries that I don’t even dare think about. It’s hard not to overthink and just trust the process. This is the bit you don’t think about when you’re writing. Calm blue ocean. #amquerying
Dealing with the querying waiting game by getting a fresh notebook out and plotting my next book. Also, drinking coffee. Lots of coffee. ☕️ #amquerying #WritingCommunity #writinglife
Opening line of your WIP… share it. Don’t be scared. From MAX & THE INBETWEENERS The little stone dragon was incredibly itchy. #middlegradefiction #writingcommunity #amquerying
Opening line of your WIP... share it. Don't be scared. From UNHINGED: "Have you ever just… snapped? Like your skin is made of glass and all the blood in your body is a river of tiny hammers chiseling away at your flesh until finally, you explode into a thousand pieces?"

So quiet today. We need to sell about 30 books a day to break even and more to make any profit... We've sold 8 So we need to sell another 22 books before midnight. Yikes! Anyone want a book? FoxLaneBooks.co.uk
And that, as they say, is that! The #iamwriting competitions are closed for 2024. Thanks to our platform for facilitating entries. And huge thanks to the judges who are now preparing to shortlist. A massive good luck to all of you that entered. 🙌
Celebrating #amquerying today. Have sent some out and each time I’m tweaking my query letter, realising a little more about what to do. No matter what happens next, having got to this stage at all as a newbie author is worth celebrating I think. #WritingCommunity
