New #WriterBeware blog post: the minute the humongous Anthropic copyright settlement was announced, it became inevitable that unrelated third parties would seek to benefit...in this case, by convincing authors to opt out writerbeware.blog/2025/11/07/p...

Reading queries on the elliptical and noticing some trends I thought I’d share with y’all Enemies to lovers Assassin/serial killers (in all shapes sizes and genres) MC’s who are authors and have writer’s block (many of them just finding out their partner has cheated and broken up) …

I voted! Did you? #votingday #govote

Btw if you’re looking for a sapphic romance novel that’s equal parts sweet and spooky, I just finished reading A Hexcellent Chance to Fall In Love by @annmrose.bsky.social and I highly recommend it!

I’m doing a book giveaway as a guest blogger at @bandersonwriter.bsky.social ’s blog at bethandersonwriter.com/2025/10/31/b... @SimonKIDS @TheTobiasAgency @mgescapades.bsky.social

Time to have a Hexcellent Halloween night!

Happy Halloween!!

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House. Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity. They are not the same.

Mark your calendars! #AskAgent

I just read an article that vacationers are hunkering down in hotels!?! I don’t understand what they are thinking. This is going to be catastrophic and they will be a drain on resources the people there will need.

I mean maybe I’m just speaking for myself but, NO. I do not want a video pitch. Please do not send one. And do not send pictures of yourself at the gym (something else I have received). We just want people to follow directions & to look up “how to write a query letter” before would be nice too ❤️

Excellent news--for Australian creators, anyway (thanks to Jonathan Bailey @plagiarismtoday.com for the link) www.billboard.com/pro/australi...

Thanks o much for the interview, Jyoti! @simonkids.bsky.social @thetobiasagency.bsky.social @annmrose.bsky.social @scbwirockymtn.bsky.social

BREAKING: Letitia James has announced a Government portal for Videos and images of ICE Agents who may have committed crimes. Please Use it and SHARE! ag.ny.gov/federal-acti...

Next up, ep. 373C! Ann Rose stops by to chat about A HEXCELLENT CHANCE TO FALL IN LOVE! @annmrose.bsky.social @prhlibrary.bsky.social @berkleyromance.bsky.social turnthepage.blubrry.net/2025/10/23/t...

A fun evening at The Bookies with my agentmate, @tphillipswriter.bsky.social , my agent, author @annmrose.bsky.social and author Jenny Elder Moke

Thanks for all of the folks that turned out for @annmrose, @TPhillipsWriter, and our event at the @compositionshop last night! Sorry I didn't get photos of everyone. It was a great turnout!

Just got ANOTHER complaint from an author with Lori Perkins's Riverdale Avenue Books about royalties not paid for over a year. I wrote about this problem in 2021 and it appears to still be ongoing--just amazing how pubs like this stay in business. writerbeware.blog/2021/03/02/p...

Make that two! Or I guess $900 because I need them both ❤️

UPDATE: the @compositionshop event on Monday with @annmrose and me will have a special guest, @tphillipswriter. Wear costumes to get into the spirit of the event and be ready for some fun! @totally_anntastic @SimonKids @TheTobiasAgency

I had SUCH a good time reading the new sapphic romance from @annmrose.bsky.social!

They shot a reverend in the head with pepper balls for calling on them to redeem themselves. "I have not seen them cross the line yet" means the line doesn't fucking exist.

Why ban books when you can ban the entire library? New Braunfels ISD has frozen library purchase orders & closed secondary campus libraries following a harassment campaign by Libs of Tik Tok & other out of district extremists. bookriot.com/new-braunfel...

I'll be doing a couple of author events at the @compositionshop on Monday with my agent Ann Rose and Tuesday at @thebookiesbookstore with fellow #rosebudauthor, @tphillipswriter! Join in the fun! @annmrose @totally_anntastic

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion. The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion. Read that back. When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

#QueryTip - Authors, if you fail to include how the book ends in the synopsis (and yes, I mean synopsis not the query letter itself) I can only assume that is how the book ends—without an ending. Synopsis should contain spoilers. They are expected in a synopsis.

One of my BFFs just defended her dissertation and is now officially Dr! I'm so beyond proud for her!

Banned but not erased. 28% of all books banned for LGBTQ+ representation feature a transgender and/or genderqueer character. These stories matter. #ReadBannedBooks #QueerLit #SapphicStories #TransVoices #WLW #SapphicsWithTheBanned #GCLS

I'm seeing an increasing number of scams like the one below, leveraging the widespread problem of publishing scams w/ a faux service promising to fix problems author is having w/ the original scam but really to hit them up for more $$ (note the "Amazon partner agency" claim: there's no such thing)

Behold, my first window display, at the Boulder Bookstore in advance of tomorrow's launch event. Registration is required. If you can't make it, I have more opportunities to see me and get a signed book. Links at tiny.cc/MisfortuneBday

It's #DVPit day and I'm excited to check out pitches but it looks like hashtags are having trouble on this site... So I guess that means I'll have to keep my eyes peeled over the next few days and if you think we could be a match PLEASE use the link in my pinned post. (Or if I give a ❤️)

This is giving me A Hexcellent Chance to Fall in Love vibes ❤️😂❤️

There’s no rest for the wicked! I need your review of my book on Amazon. @simonkids.bsky.social @thetobiasagency.bsky.social @annmrose.bsky.social @scbwirockymtn.bsky.social

Thank you! Yes, it's my book birthday today!

ICE attempted and failed to disappear a food delivery guy. It needed to be scored.

About to board my first ever international flight 😬 Wish me luck! ❤️

I mean no lies. Halloween is the best ❤️

Absolutely brilliant! Although I think the "it takes 5-7 years to make a living" is off... it can take significantly longer these day unfortunately. I'll also add to the "we only get paid when we make a sale" conversation too. This is correct, but it's also deeper than this.... Cont..

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

Happy book birthday Becky!!
