"As someone who writes young adult fantasy...." 😂 relatable dude. I've dreamed about being traditionally published my whole life and am so reluctant to change that dream. But the way you talked about publishers not respecting authors and not taking themselves seriously (in a way) has me feeling better about it. Cause I know it's true
That’s true. I think change will happen but I don’t necessarily think it will be good or bad. Either way, I intend to stay informed and do what it takes to get my books out there, even if that means pivoting to self publishing later on!
yeah things are very *dog in house on fire "Everything Is Fine" meme* right now lol but I really loved the way you broke down all your thoughts and the process that lead you to continue traditional publishing

It’s definitely a hard thing to balance the pros and cons for!
Thank you so much for explaining this so well!
I’m glad it helped!
You are much more hopeful for change than I am. Like you said, this stuff has been known for a while, and yet nothing has changed.

This is great, well said

A very accurate picture 🥲
good stuff 💛
any plan for livestream soon 🙋♂️?.
Thanks! No plans right now-I decided lives will be something I save for NaNo and Camp NaNos. I’ll probably do a couple in November!
