Eek!! I'm going to try my luck in a pitch event here later today! What a great way to learn I'm terrible at marketing 😅

Feel free to comment on the pitches. Please leave the likes and reposts to agents and editors!

Good night, writers. You can leave the sentence unfinished. Tomorrow may give it a better ending 🌿

Nice one for the late bloomers: M. John Harrison, 81, just made the Booker shortlist after 55 years of writing science fiction, etc. Win on Nov 9 and he’d be the oldest Booker winner in history. Cheering for you, sir!

From my Epic Fantasy novel Demon’s Bargain. Despard shows the weird foreign refugees a place to stay.

“Thank you for your generosity,” Kahyla said. The soldier frowned. Kahyla picked her way through the debris. “We’ll need to clean it before we can sleep here.” Abber snorted in agreement. “Is there a bucket for water?” Tebfin squirmed out of Kahyla's reach and picked up a cracked leather strap. Abber nudged a dented bowl from under the remains of a chair. Despairing over Abber’s scandalously unbound hair, Kahyla wondered if any of their other coolans had survived the fire. “You could draw water from the Silva temple a few blocks from here,” said the soldier. His hand crept to a coin closure on his cloak. “The House of Atelle is closer, but the water's sweeter from the goddess' well.” River grit crunched against Kahyla's teeth. A lying demon could disguise mud as pure water. “As a daughter of Parkith, I couldn't enter the temple.” She tugged Abber's hair into a more modest position, receiving a pouting glare in return. “We follow His Laws, even when outside Huxen.” “Huxen? You three are from Huxen? I thought your accent sounded funny.” “The wellspring of morality and the True Faith of Parkith.” Kahyla reflexively formed a flame symbol with three fingers and tapped over her heart. “But you people are zealots! You won't let any trade ships further than Gooseport without some goofy requirements. Ferruthan privateers love taking Huxen ships,” the mercenary said. “Why come here?”

For the #WIPSnips word for September 29th, "Well."

This was one of the most recent additions in my final round of revisions for the dystopian #speculative novel I've been querying on and off for forever. Felt very good to write.

#WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts #amquerying

I change into my boots to go to the privy, lingering outside to admire the night sky. A whisper of light dusts the far distance, the same red-tinged ochre of the earth. Ponder explained to us that the Big Daddy bombsite still effuses radioactive particles when the wind picks up, creating soft, bright storms that can be seen for hundreds of miles. Manmade refulgence, he says, unimpressed. It's fake, and it's fatal. But I enjoy the color from afar, the way it bleeds through the darkness. Naive and human of me, maybe, to overlook danger in favor of beauty, like the toxic white flowers of jimsonweed, or a well-shined gun. These glowing evenings are the same style of hazard, hurting you so prettily that the pain feels worth it.

Query war room today before my second batch of agents. Rewriting my query letter, finalizing pitches for DVpit, making sure the synopsis is tight. How is this harder than actually writing the 114k word novel???

Very impressed by (and appreciative of) agents who provide semi-personalised form rejections that are in some way useful to the recipient rather than the blank form rejections that merely confirm the existence of someone at the other end.

Query guidelines: "Send only the first page. Keep your letter as concise as possible, or I'll be forced to skim." Efficient, sure. But can 200 words judge a novel — or is this low-effort inbox zero? Haughty? Is there a difference? #amquerying #WritingCommunity

The local toughs, voyous, were closer to being boys than men, but that didn't matter much. Boys could kill as #well as men. Maybe better. Mercy and hesitation were easier to beat out of them. These three looked like they might be that kind. #WIPSnips #amquerying #booksky #skywrite

@marynoonwrites.bsky.socialSep 29, 2026, 2:27 PM

A beta reader called my novel "a delight" and I'm going to do my best to ride this wave of confidence all the way to the writing conference this weekend 🥰 Wish me luck!
