I've been chuckling this morning at @evilevehall.bsky.social's A NOVEL MURDER & publishing isn't ready! Described as an 'eviscerating portrait of modern publishing ... Rarely will the industry feel so seen. A wicked, wicked book’ by @vaseemkhanuk.bsky.social 😈🗡️📖 www.amazon.co.uk/Novel-Murder...

Um?! Received the best book mail today from the newest romance imprint on the block! The books! The stickers! The tote! Huge fans, thank you @penguinhuddleuk.bsky.social and the Evermore Team!

A Starling murmuration, thousands of birds moving as one. A moment of wonder, a feeling of connection. What does it make you feel? #ThoughtfulThursday 💌

So delighted to be in a relationship where date night is pizza and stopping off for ice cream on the way home 🩷

Trying to build up my Blue Sky feed into what my Twitter feed used to be... Does anyone have recommendations of some great accounts they follow? Doesn't even need to be book related but humour/good news/people being nerdily passionate about things all appreciated!

Happy to announce that my adult fantasy novels are now repped by @palindrometodd.bsky.social!After all I’ve been through in this industry, it’s lovely to have an agent whose vision & faith make me excited to dive back in & fight for my gaysian characters 🏳️‍🌈🥳 Can’t wait to see what we do together!

Which UK fiction editors love an RPG? TTRPG or otherwise? Wave at me if you love things like Zelda, Final Fantasy, D&D or even some cosy farming sims. I feel like there's a load of us out there, but I need the fellow nerds to reveal themselves 🤓⚔️

Gah, I loved this so much! The perfect balance of creepy, heartwarming and magical

God, isn't this exhausting? We're all so tired! Not only is the criteria SO odd (prizes skew towards literary fiction) but this doesn't reflect many books bringing in so much money to the industry. But an editor is so much more than this... As is the whole teams behind these successes.

Entirely baffled that anyone could ever think this was a good idea.

I love this book sooooo much. It's such a fantastic audiobook, and argh. The joy and cosiness and romance 💖

This is such a great point! All my authors, please print this and put it wherever you write 🩷 Take the pressure off yourselves for everything to be perfect. It's what keeps structural editors, copyeditors and proofreaders in jobs!

As I have somehow surpassed 7k followers on here I thought it might be nice to do a giveaway: All 7 of my books to one lovely winner. Just share and like to be in with a chance! 😁📚

Non-book related advice please! Having a bout of insomnia & can't handle being a zombie for any longer SO, any tips? I've tried: - no caffeine - baths before bed - no phone before bed - melatonin - Kalms The main issue is staying asleep & entering deep sleep. My fitbit is concerned...

Word of the day is ‘librocubicularist’: one who loves nothing better than reading in bed. (Not easy to say, but I’m glad to know it exists).

End of the year means time to ask all the lovely people I've worked with if they'd be happy to recommend me, so a huge thank you to @niamhmurray.bsky.social & Mhari Nimmo for these wonderful testimonials. 🥰 You can find loads more & check out my updated services on my website 🎉 rachelquin.com

Hi! My name is Hannah & I'm a literary agent for commercial fiction. It's Working In Publishing week and my top advice is to think outside the box & to hold the friends you make close! The people of publishing (editors, agents, authors) are the best bit... Even more so than the books!

ENCHANTED TO MEET YOU out Feb 6 2025 www.penguin.co.uk/books/461549...

I will never get tired of this view. And they say London is grey!

Do I get too into edits of my clients work? Maybe.

A day made up of all my favourite things: Natural History Museum, theater trip, visit to Gosh! Comics & lots of time with my dad 💖 Very glad the big nerd raised me to be just the same way.

Ah yes, the day each year when I realise that I've never actually read a book before #hiddenbooksgame (Do we use hashtags here?!)
