To me, it seems like Black authors who don't write about racism have an even harder time getting in the doors than we already do. Most books by Black authors I know have racism in them and it's really frustrating cuz I just want to write about Black girls living their life bro

"Couldn't connect" is very telling. I've read 1000s of books by white authors and connected with those stories just fine. Just say you didn't want to connect cuz of internal biases, even tho you loved the book.

When most of your rejections were that the story was too fast, then you revise to lead up to the juicy stuff. Then you resubmit to an agent, then they send a rejection months later saying they liked the original version better ๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ’€

This is really trash for Black authors that use AAVE in their books. Get rid of this please, nobody wants it

This is so freaking dangerous. We're talking about a software evaluating submissions for grammar...which can be boiled down to software eliminating submissions based on voice. I have no words.

YA GIRL IS DONE!! 13k words added, so itโ€™s a little long but not too bad. Tbh the relationships needed the extra depth and the ending needed bulking, so itโ€™s all good. Iโ€™m gonna do another pass then Iโ€™m yeeting my girl out

There should be a law that every time when an agent likes a pitch they previously rejected they stub their toe. Itโ€™s so annoying ๐Ÿ’€

Degrassi doesn't get enough credit. It was the first time I saw fleshed-out gay characters (who actually said "I'm gay", not just implied), bipolar characters, a trans character, bi characters, self-harm, periods, parental abuse, abortions, etc, etc on a teen show. Iconic AF

Iโ€™m slowly starting to become more of a horror girlie. But very specific type of horror where girls are killing people for revenge, or just cute creepy stuff. I loved Coraline, Carrie (the 2013 movie), The Craft, The Weight of Blood. If yโ€™all have recs like that please lmk
