because someone has copyright over controlling the sun? I hope you haven't read SHADOW & BONE. You can't be for real. And what does her being Nigerian have to do with it?

I love buying physical books but sometimes it's not possible to lug them everywhere.
Who has a Kindle? Who feels like it's worth it?

Child-free spaces exist though? Lounges, bars, clubs, etc. there are many child-free spaces. I think the issue lies in wanting to dismiss children from places where they’re normally allowed. Planes, trains, restaurants, etc. that’s weird energy. Kids are still people. 🤷🏽♀️

Cait Corrain blaming autism and meds makes me, an autistic, bipolar person angry.
Like ma’am, autism makes me awkward and sometimes not able to understand social cues. It does not make me review bomb POC authors to make myself look better.
That is not a symptom. 😒

I don’t usually interact but this got me mad.
I got pulled over once. Before I even started driving. In my own driveway. And accused of robbing my own house. I was searched and detained in my front yard.
What lack of agency and bad decision making did I make?
I believe it’s possible to live your life in such a way that the police are not a threat to you.
It’s called having agency and making reasonable life choices.

None of you are allowed to be autistic anymore or I’ll sue.
You’ll all be hearing from my lawyers.

Every agent that offered took a while to request my fulls. My agent now only had my partial when I got my first offer request. As her client, I know now that she prioritizes clients over queries.
It doesn't mean they don't want you. Sometimes, agents are just busy.

The fact that BIPOC authors were the primary targets in all of this speaks volumes.
What also speaks volumes is the rush to defend the accused as though they're victims. They're not.
Be critical of why you rush to defend the other side when BIPOC women are being attacked.

Let’s be honest, y’all are mad at agents because they’re the first hurdle and that’s the worst one but agents are not the enemy.
There are books agents love that never see the light of day because we all have to answer to marketing.

I was rejected because the prose was not there for an agent I really wanted to work with, then I got an agent offer a few days later.
Ended up with 4 offers altogether.
Don’t give up! 🤍
after receiving another rejection, in a year so far full is them, I’m a little w/o hope
So! If you want! Tell me of a rejection of yours that came just before an achievement/a dream/ the Yes ♥️

What happened was not okay and this community is much better when we uplift and support rather than ostracize and bully.

My debut is my first book and I wrote it at the end of 2021. It started as a short story and evolved until i finally completed it. I queried and signed with my agent in 2022 and officially got my book deal earlier this year.
I got lucky. I still feel so new.
