Normally I'm bedeviled by timezones, but today they allowed me to attend two launch parties on the same day. Turns out 7pm isn't 7pm everywhere! So I got to attend Marie Parks' launch party for her FLIGHTLESS, then Liz Prato's for her new novel PURGATOIRE from @ForestAvePress. – at Portland, OR

Just to elaborate: *I received nearly 5,000 queries in 2025. *Editor positions are being cut but the workload never shrinks *There are editors whose average response time is 5+ months because of these issues *My own response time is suffering bc of workload volume
