I BEG of you all to come check out my humble Newsletter, “A.M.’s Newsletter”, because I have an amazing series I call, Horizon Star Walk. On the Planet Oria, Aurora Borealis, Orion Pulsar, Ares Aldrin, and Gemini Taurus are on the run for their illegal activity, the stakes are HIGH for them all. A young Guardian of Oria, Sinsen Orbit, is hunting them down with his Officers backing him up. Will he catch them to be executed before the Queen and King of Oria, or will they successfully escape to Earth? Subscribe to find out!
That's absolutely outstanding advice, Kate. Wish I'd had it thirty years ago. I continue to worry that all the emphasis on platforms and the "people you know" model, rather than a talent search model, continues to damage publishing. Here, I'm speaking as a reader, not just as a writer. At least it's nice to know that authenticity still matters.
Struggling in this area. As we all are! Funny thing though: I made a change - went for it - did something completely different. It might fail. So what, at least I did something on my terms. So be it. So it goes...
Thank you, Kate, I’m saving this post to read when I need it again like it do today. 🥰

Same here, Kate. You always write something I need to hear just when I need it. Thaaaaank you!
Thank you Kate! I really needed to read this right now. "Persistence in the face of rejection." Love it!
Thanks. Ditto on all the comments. I needed this. I like the way my query is now, so we'll see.
Great advice, Kate.
Love it, thank you 🙏
Great info! ;)
