Authors! Submissions to WriteHive’s #HiveMentor are now open! Submit your completed manuscript for a chance to work with a mentor to get it query ready, sub ready for small press, or to self publish. But hurry! The sub window closes in 3 days. 🔗 below #WritingCommmunity

Hi friends! @writehive.bsky.social #HiveMentor submissions box opens TOMORROW at 12:59 EST. If you are a writer w/ a completed manuscript and are looking for a mentorship to help get your book ready to query agents, self publish, or submit to an indie press, THIS IS THE MENTORSHIP FOR YOU! 🔥

For today's @writehive.bsky.social #HiveMentor question, I have a lot of reservations about my answer already, so please @ me to ask questions this week if you have them. "I think" should be the caveat here, bc I'm always open to being surprised by a manuscript OR a writer's process!!

Proud of us 🥰

#HiveMentor Bold of you to assume that I have read for fitness and for fun this year with all of *gestures wildly* going on. I'm going to call out two books I really liked: Tempered in Ash by Willo Glenn and An Ambitious Woman and Her Very Normal Pet by Lily Greene. Both are worth your read.

My books are finally up on Barnes & Noble and Bookshop.org! It was a little painful to get here, but seeing them up there under those banners makes me emotional. Self-pubbing this book this year has been such a roller coaster of emotions. It’s not easy but it’s been 100% worth it.

#HiveMentor AMA Q2: #WritingCommunity #amquerying

Oh my gosh, so many. The most recent was Charlene Thomas’s STREETLIGHT PEOPLE, which has all the character work I loved in her debut with an additional speculative twist! In adult, Hester Steel’s THE FACELESS THING WE ADORE lives rent free in my brain. #HiveMentor

Please share 🙏✨ATTENTION QUERYING AND INDIE AUTHORS✨ @writehive.bsky.social #HiveMentor is opening soon! This mentorship is unique in that they accept all publishing paths so if you are querying to get an agent or looking to self-publish, this mentorship is for you!

Q2: What's your favorite book you've read recently? I refuse to choose just one so here are some I've enjoyed this year: One Dark Window, For the Wolf, Scary Stories for Young Foxes, Don't Let the Forest In, Where the Dark Stands Still, Phantasma #HiveMentor

#HiveMentor My mentee is not me. I know that's a weird sentiment, but it's also my guiding principle both as an editor and a mentor. I am here to help make a story the best it can be within the framework of the story you're trying to tell. I want to know what you're passionate about in the story...
