I *might* actually pitch something to Aftermath! I stumbled upon this local punk retro gaming repair place and so I did the old journalism thing and spent days with them as they repaired old consoles for people. I interviewed a few people between the repairs and the observations. it's full Gonzo reporting though, but still, couldn't hurt! Only thing is, Aftermath has a pitch first, write if approved submission process. I like it the other way where I submit fully completed drafts/narratives. I feel like a pitch first, then green light, then write approach throws me off and influences how I write. My preferred way, there's no expectations. Only editing. Still, editors say it's harder to edit someone especially if their writing style is vastly different from the publication, which is the case with me. Pondering! https://aftermath.site/aftermath-freelance-pitch-guide/ #Journalism #AmWriting

For anyone who's been waiting...
I now have three chapters or ten scenes left to edit before The Last Philosopher: Part Two will be available 😁
Progress is slow, but I'm getting there... 😊
Here's some fanart of Lyeasrakardsul to reward your patience.

Hello Mastodon! 👋 I'm Vivian, a freelance Beta Reader. I love helping authors with pacing, character development, and catching plot holes before they publish.

This is heartbreaking! These 2 posts below. A lot is going on here so read the links contained in the two posts below, but this is not how a publisher should behave.
Sell books by amazing authors while secondly helping them get noticed without acting this way.
I am not signing with you because I like you. I am signing with you because I want you to shut up and sell books. I may like *some* stances of yours, but you have a job. Sell books.

The Drafty Writers Group got together—with cookies of course—and we're now penning our feelings about politicians versus Mutual Aid. We're also doing writing exercises where we pretend to be inanimate objects and write about how politics hinders or helps the thing. Everything from carpets to toothpaste to rainbow bracelets. We're not really watching the counting live but we're also writing about paintings! #AmWriting #Writing
