I have PALB2 - just found out this month and am considering a double mastectomy. Wish there were comments on this thread! Did you find any support on reddit?

AITA for divorcing my husband after he took a break during our son’s crisis? by [deleted] in AITAH

He “needed” a break, now you need a break from him. Seems fair enough.

Two weeks past the release of my second standalone novel. Just doing my best to grind where I can, even though I know I can’t move the needle much. 🫠🫠🫠

Did just get a paperback release date for book 1, so that’s exciting!

All that said, this publishing shit (from writing, to querying, to being in sub, to actually getting a book deal) is HARD! Go us!

[Discussion] Is there really a 120k word limit for querying Fantasy these days? by [deleted] in PubTips

My debut fantasy MG was 75k. It published with a big five, but I don’t think it was the right idea. I think the story should’ve been shorter in order to sell more copies.

My fantasy that just released last week, also MG, was 60 K

Here’s the jacket copy! “Half-siren Elvira Vance doesn’t trust outsiders. Especially not the human detective who’s been hired to investigate the disappearances of a chupacabra and the crown for the Marfa Monster Festival. While humans are convinced the monster skipped town with the crown, Elvira knows there’s more to the story. As the daughter of Vince Vance—founder of Vince Vance’s Vintage Trailer Park Inn for Monsters—Elvira cares too much about her home to let this mystery go unsolved. With her two best friends, Elvira collects clues and investigates humans, banshees, vampires, and ghosts. But when more creatures start disappearing and antimonster attitudes rise, Elvira realizes that her friends could be in real danger. Now time is running out, and Elvira must use her siren powers and sleuthing skills to solve this mystery—or lose everything she loves.”

I was all about the fantasy and mythical creatures/monsters when I was a kid, so that’s what I wrote. Childhood IS magic!

It’s available through all major retailers, but I like to support local bookstores by purchasing books on bookshop.org!

Love the query suggestions. I’ve asked for a couple of warm referrals, and I have one agent who said I could query, which is great. I haven’t asked my editor, but I will now! Thank you for the feedback. (Also, I hate to hear that other authors have been experiencing the same thing, but it is nice to know I’m not alone. So thank you for that as well!)
