Trying to find an agent or publisher is tough. So I found this helpful … every time I got a rejection I threaded a bead onto a string, and told myself one day I’d wear those beads to my book launch. And on Saturday I did. 🥂🙏🥲🙌 #ThePerfectGuest #amquerying #writingcommunity

I relate to SO many of these points - I was in the query trenches 2 years ago, disheartened but soldiering on, unaware I was about to sign with an agent, @jslwilliamson , who would change my life. Whatever stage you’re at, you NEED this advice …

10 years ago I was still stuck in the query trenches (lost & confused). Here’s a few things I’ve learned about writing/publishing in the past decade 🧵 1. Resilience. Rejection is part of the job. It gets easier. It’s not that your work isn’t good it’s that it isn’t a good fit.

@OneLiteraryFox This is so true. I’d never really believed it before I got a rejection from an agent saying they didn’t feel passionately enough, followed (literally half an hour later) by another agent saying she couldn’t put it down and wanted to meet me. Emotional roller-coaster day!

This was such a fab sunny weekend read! It gripped me from the get go - I loved the ‘then’ and ‘now’ chapters and the way the secrets were sprinkled like breadcrumbs! Bravo @sophielflynn and I can’t wait for #WhatStaysUnsaid

Check out this gorgeous gift from my wonderful friend @motherofbearz ❤️Decided to put my ‘rejection beads’ in the flower holder! There’s also a hidden message on the book-facing side. And it’s perfect in my new writing room where I can see it every day! #writingcommunity

Couldn’t resist buying this today, as I LOVED #MagpieMurders . Just need to finish the 2 books I’m currently reading … and maybe see what else is on my TBR shelf. So many books! 📚 #amreading #BookTwitter

@PrincessJen70 Detectorists. It’s like therapy before bed. Impossible to feel anxious after watching it 😂

There have been lots of times when I’ve hated Mondays. Now I love them because they mean peace, and writing, and tea. 🙏 🧘‍♀️ ☕️ 📚 #amwriting #writingcommunity

I couldn’t resist the premise of this book, and I LOVED trying to work out the conundrum along with Beth! So clever. @sophiehannahCB1 #thrillerbooks #amreading #booklover

@LisaSellAuthor So funny, I feel exactly the opposite. I loved milk time and would happily drink anyone else’s if they left it 😂 Happy memories of those little glass bottles!
