For the collab between writer + agent to be successful, the writer must also be active and proactive, and learn to show up beyond the page.
Join agent @serenemaria (Ayesha Pande Literary) for an insightful convo w/ client @shannoncfrogers!

…Aaand that’s a wrap on #AWP24! Literally needed to lay down. Until next year when we do it all over again!
I read one page & knew this book was special. Half way through & I knew we needed to jump on it. By the end I'm sobbing at my desk. Thank you @JihyunYun2nd for creating the most powerful exploration of grief I've ever read. And thank you @GLakenauth for seeing this so clearly
And a special thank you to @AnnieAHwang for being the best partner in crime. Grateful to have had you and (and your weighted blanket) through this entire process!

This is not a war. This is a genocide.
Post about Palestine like your life depends on it, because their lives depends on it.
Don't stop talking about Gaza. Push for a permanent ceasefire.
Love to see both Ream Shukairy and @shannoncfrogers on this list!!

6 🧵s to make sense of Israel/Palestine:
1) A history Palestinian non-violent resistance
2) A history of Hamas
3) A history of Israel's ethnic cleansing Palestinians
4) A history of Israel's wars on Gaza
5) A history of Gaza
6) A history of Israel’s use of disproportionate force
