Why would any show (looking at you Loot) create an in-show advert with a website and NOT get the website?
For my novel I created a whole tiktok account just to tie in
Happy Pride Month
If you’re into allying up for a gay, ND, self published author (who was an orphan at 15 if that helps sell the book, though it is also true) then my book is on sale for 99p worldwide on amazon

I see a lot of people writing queers into romantasy/medieval stories but without homophobia & thus, feel there’s no need to have words for gay & lesbian (despite them being useful terms even if everyone was actually open)
Today I created a new word for my romantasy world for gay, lesbian & 2 slurs
2 agent noes came through today. Along with 2 deadlines hit, with silence.
Along with my other No, that leaves 6 agents left to hear from.
Will my duel timeline, queer crime mystery find an agent in this batch?
God I cannot put myself through self publishing again
Last year I self published my debut novel. Right now I am querying novel 2 whilst finishing the first draft of novel 3 and gently plotting novel 4. Ugh I’m tired
5 chapters of my MM SFF novel done this week. Roughly 7k. I only started it on Thursday.
Very excited about this one.
Whilst querying my second book, I spotted MANY agents looking for epic romantic fantasy (not romantasy) so let’s hope they still are by the time it’s finished

Another chapter done. Just over 2k. Most of the other chapters have been between 1.3-1.7k which I felt wasn’t a lot, but this is outlined to be 65 chapters so I think the word count is actually fine.
Got my MC into his first parallel universe. Very exciting
