Sometimes the hardest part of writing isn’t writing. It’s convincing yourself that the thing you’re building is worth finishing.

Every edit I make is done by hand, by a real person who actually reads your story. No shortcuts. Your book deserves a human reader.

The funnest chapter for me to write was chapter 14, where the artist takes to the sky as an observer. This is the type of airplane that I am writing about.

Trying to scam someone with over 200K followers is incredibly bold. Just saying.

Small-town suspense? Check. Amateur sleuth? Check. Slow-burn chemistry, buried secrets, and a killer hiding in plain sight? Oh, absolutely. #amquerying #writingcommunity

Your second draft is where the book actually shows up. The first is just you finding it.

Being an editor means a paragraph from someone's manuscript randomly shows up in your head at 11pm, and suddenly you understand why that scene was confusing. Writers, does this happen with your own drafts too?
