Hard to believe May 1 marked four years since I went solo for ghostwriting and book doctoring. My favorite client endorsement so far: "He's been relentless in striving for perfection, draft after draft, until I finally got bored while re-reading my own ideas and stories!”

Hey @askanyone - seen today in a Copenhagen park. Also saw a nice faceout at a bookstore here. Gold star for your international sales dept!
I think that's a little unfair to this new venture. Is it better for a 25-year old to make $50K at a Big Five imprint or $75+ as a freelancer, even with the cost of buying health insurance? What about the value of working remotely and with a flexible schedule?
Book workers need unions before all publishing work is given to freelancers
Hey managers: people can love a job without letting it take over their lives. Detaching from work doesn’t reflect the absence of passion. It reveals the presence of other priorities. Being plugged in 24/7 is a recipe for burnout. Setting boundaries is vital to well-being.
When I talk to friends who have been writing & publishing for over a decade, they all say the same thing… after the hoopla of a book coming out, having crazy high expectations, having it follow a more humble arc… what you’re left with years later is the actual book you wrote…
OK, I'm gonna do this. Here's an ongoing thread of every major and stupidly minor crazy thing that Barbenheimer did at the box office this weekend.
Why is DeSantis struggling? He can replicate the rage of MAGA America, but can he replicate its gleeful camaraderie? Believe it or not, MAGA experiences its movement as fun (its targets, of course, do not). nytimes.com/2023/07/06/opi…
What if we all just go to LinkedIn. No one will see it coming.
For @esquire I'm looking to speak with authors, agents, and publishing insiders about BLURBS. How do blurbs affect the trajectory of a book and what's the real scoop on this pre-pub ritual? My DMs are open or you can email me at vershbowiswriting@gmail.com 📬
Excellent thread by @GuerillaMemoir that also applies to nonfiction proposals....
I hear authors ask, “Why doesn’t the agent read the whole ms before deciding? Why only 10 pages?” Because TRUST. Let me explain (🧵):
How rare to see an article that actually feels accurate to those of us who work in this crazy business. Kudos @dan_sinykin!
Hello, hi, I'm in @nytopinion today! Everyone's eulogizing Cormac McCarthy as an obdurate anachronism, but he was precisely a man of his times: a product, finally, of the conglomeration of publishing. A preview from my forthcoming book, Big Fiction. nytimes.com/2023/06/19/opi…
Relational masculinity is different. It can live online, but it thrives in the physical world. It says your strength is defined by your relationships, how you make the people closest to you feel. Instead of "don't trust anything", "become the sort of person ppl want to trust."
I’ve been thinking about all this AI art stuff, and man, the “rest of the painting” ones were sure a giveaway as to what I think is going on.
Don't ever dismiss a "nepo baby" without actually getting to know them... Moving and insightful interview of @LukeRussert by @SykesCharlie thebulwark.com/podcast-episod… via @BulwarkOnline
