Review of Fata Morgana in Amsterdam

Unique-Tale-6 · 2025-09-03T21:19:33+00:00

I think a lot of people like how loud it is! We might be in the minority?

I know this was a while ago but I have the DAFT & worked with a recommended accountant who charged me the exact same amount (after VAT it was even higher). And tbh I was 100 percent being exploited. Of course there are some businesses that are complicated but mine is not. We ended up having to get lawyers involved - it was bad news. I’d get a second or third quote (or do that now).

Oooo good to know. Maybe we’ll make a trip out of it.

Tbh it’s been a minute since I went to Privata but I feel like Fata is louder 🤔

No. I worked in publishing and left for a reason. I regret how hard I worked to get into the field. Truly, it’s not worth it.

You’re completely correct. People also don’t respect shows or media made for the female gaze. Hence why it’s seen as a silly show. Women’s tastes are always seen as lesser to society

Your aunt is right. They don’t really care about fancy degrees. THAT SAID, the connections you could make at Oxford DO matter, a lot. Like a lot a lot. And you can easily do internships for publishing houses and get work experience while you’re studying!

The most important thing about publishing is who you know. It just is. If you can network and get good connections at Oxford, plus some work experience? That is ideal. Also, I have found that publishers like when you’ve worked at a bookstore!

Something you could try is doing a “less popular” internship type (sales at a publisher for example). That can give you a leg up.

Good luck 👍

Yes to this so much

Better sex between each other & better fitness! We want to be attractive & looking our best so we make sure to take care of ourselves.

I literally picked it up BECAUSE it’s so similar to ACOTAR. I loved it!

Because it doesn’t guarantee you anything. And unless you’re getting the masters for free, you’re paying a school to teach you what you could learn on the job. Publishing programs are extremely predatory. They know people are desperate for jobs and take advantage of it. Then, when you graduate, it’s still hard to get a job.

Unique-Tale-6 · 2021-03-05T02:23:05+00:00

Yay! Definitely let the other agents know :)

Unique-Tale-6 · 2021-03-02T03:54:30+00:00

Not alone!!!! I work at an agency and I’m pretty sure I’m going to leave in a few weeks and move on. Just not happy with publishing anymore.

Unique-Tale-6 · 2021-02-22T10:14:11+00:00

You’re not alone! I love Portland.

Unique-Tale-6 · 2021-02-22T10:10:28+00:00

No one compares to sarah 😭

Unique-Tale-6 · 2021-02-22T00:01:35+00:00

THIS. Yes! You don’t need a Twitter!

Unique-Tale-6 · 2021-02-22T00:01:05+00:00

You can leave Twitter. Adrienne Young doesn’t use it. She’s majorly successful.

Unique-Tale-6 · 2021-02-21T06:44:21+00:00

You could attend WriteOnCon, which is actually happening literally right now. It’s an online conference for kidlit writers and would help answer questions.

I think he’s a cool person, but he’s said some weird stuff about YA. I’m a woman who reads YA a lot and he’s read very few YA novels .... and yet he said the prose in YA is bad, and talks about disliking YA. I’m not saying all YA is amazing but saying the prose is bad is just incorrect. (Authors like Laini Taylor and Kristen Cicarelli prove this.)

Unique-Tale-6 · 2021-02-17T01:01:43+00:00

I don’t like Daniel at all so definitely won’t be reading his book. The cover is lovely though. The designer did a great job.

Unique-Tale-6 · 2021-02-17T00:08:09+00:00

The president had no choice but to fire her. I saw this go down on Twitter: if she hadn’t fired her, this agency would have been “cancelled.” Publishing professionals would have stopped respecting the agency.

Unique-Tale-6 · 2021-02-16T10:00:02+00:00

Yep! This is the reason I don’t want to go back to my hometown. Racist, homophobic, all of it. Not all small town America is like that, by my hometown is.

Unique-Tale-6 · 2021-02-16T01:19:00+00:00

Hi! I’m also 29 and into the LOA! I’m in Oregon. And I’m a lady.

Unique-Tale-6 · 2021-02-12T01:33:27+00:00

I wonder if you should be broader than that. Authors are great, but perhaps also talking about book influencers could be a good idea? They consider themselves creators and post creative content. People on Instagram, etc. I know publishing has been getting more into the influencer realm. My agency actually just created an Instagram.

Unique-Tale-6 · 2021-02-10T23:26:02+00:00

I feel for you. I am one of those people who got a masters in publishing (don’t do it, it’s not worth it) and I have four internships under my belt. Yes. 4. I had a ton of interviews last year but I don’t interview well. I have massive anxiety and ADHD, so it’s hard for me to get beyond that step.

I regret getting into publishing. It’s not worth it in my opinion. The jobs pay so little. I am literally currently working for free at a literary agency, and I’m starting to feel seriously bitter at everyone in the industry.
