I'd like to give the inventor of Samoas an award.

I love my feed today: an amazing piece from Jacque Gorelick, another incredible piece by Heather Sweeney, and excellent agent news from Yvonne Liu is on Submission-Mental Health Advocate
Inspired and grateful for my #WritingCommunity

Become a writer! Just squeeze it in between your two other jobs and full-time equivalent commitments!

This piece by Jacque Gorelick in X-R-A-Y will break your heart in the best way. The word choice, the emotion, and the nuance here are truly magical. xraylitmag.com/life-in-pieces…

Excited for this 💜

I love when a piece blends together unlikely elements. Steve Edwards does this beautifully here.
