Trying to use Substack more & I posted my complicated thoughts about how the rise of the K-Wave means I get a lot of people telling me to go on submission fast since all of my books incorporate my Korean culture, but it's created conflicting feelings... katchowrites.substack.com/p/ponderings...

If reading wasn't political, they wouldn't be trying to ban books

No one said your life was easy. They said racism wasn’t one of the things making it harder. You can have pain and still have advantage. Both can be true at the same time.

What's SO meaningful in #BTS picking #Arirang is that it's a song of sorrow but post-war it became a song about reunion. And this is literally BTS coming back together after 3 yrs & 9 months! LOVE how BTS uses deeply rooted Korean cultural symbols as metaphors for their own personal journey! 😭💜💜💜

New #BTS album name is 'Arirang'!! Arirang is the unofficial Korean national anthem & is recognized by UNESCO as an intangible cultural heritage. So proud of our boys for always repping our Korean cultural roots! Here's a vid I made last summer about #Arirang www.instagram.com/reels/DL7zPt...

My mayor

Girls will be like "I needed this" and it's just being able to officially say "Mayor Mamdani" #zohranmamdani

"Zohran won't be able to accomplish any of his campaign promises" Well, I'd rather have a mayor that fights for me and fails, than one who actively works against my best interests 🤷 #nycmayoralrace #zohranmamdani

#DVpit inspired me to reopen to queries sooner than I'd planned... Starting Nov 2025, I'll be open to unsolicited queries the first week of every month! Still just YA + MG fiction... Really hungry for 🤩 debut voices... You'll be able to submit here: querytracker.net/querybeth #mswl

Yesterday's #DVpit was amazing & inspiring! Thanks to everyone who participated, supported, & any agent/editor who came! Speaking of, agents & editors are invited to keep perusing the hashtag the next week to request! If you got requests, please check out our "After DVpit Guide" dvpit.carrd.co#after

Wow! Hearing about people getting partial and full requests for their queries from #DVpit already! So exciting!

My heart is so full seeing all the diverse stories pitched today! But, more than that, the way people came together & supported each other is exactly why I love #DVpit & working on this event! Our stories matter! Our community matters! Best wishes to all participants. Now back to my deadlines...

Please Agents/Editors snatch this one up so i can find out what the "truth her world was forced to forget" is!

DVpit #querying Tip: As you scroll the feed make note of which agents like pitches in similar categories/genres as yours & add them to your general querying list! The feed is so busy, they might've missed yours, but if they're liking similar stories that means it's something they want in their inbox

Seeing a bunch of DVpit pitches with multiple agent and editor requests and we've still got four more hours to go! So exciting to see the event flourish on a new platform this year

It's kind of rood that I'm not able to buy this book yet

Alright, honestly, why isn't this published yet? Seriously

These comps! Sisterhood? Yes, please!!

You'd have to pry my vampire books from my cold (un)dead hands. Gimme this one please!!!
