I'm saddened to hear the U.S. is taking steps to leave future generations in a climate crisis. #parisclimateagreement is much needed.

At my recent events, I’ve had multiple readers comment on how much they love the short chapters in the Inheritance Games, and that got me to thinking about the writing process that has led to those short chapters. (Thread)

History tells us that wars cause irreversible and unimaginable loss. Civilians are killed; homes, schools and places of worship destroyed. People need peace, stability and dignity more than anything else. Russia must stop the attack on Ukraine immediately.

✨READER REPORT ADVICE!✨ Here is my advice on how to write reader reports, for prospective interns/entry publishing employees. The obvious caveat is that everyone has different standards. This is what I personally think is important vs. not important in a reader report. 🧵1/
Would anyone looking to break into publishing like a thread about what to focus on in a reader report and what to avoid? I'm thinking about this a lot as I'm looking to hire a new intern.

My call ended early and I've had the extra espresso shot, so let's do this! Here are ten things you should know: 1. Keep a regular writing time to train your brain to produce on a schedule; but also be kind to yourself and take breaks as you would from a regular job.

More books are currently being optioned for film and TV series due to an explosion of demand from streaming services, with @netflix telling The Bookseller the chance of a book being adapted has “never been higher”. Find out more here: bit.ly/3tXMTFl (£)

Writers: Do yourself a favor and don't write book 2 of the series. Outline it, make notes, but don't actually write and polish it. Instead work on the next project. Book 1 can change in editing that it negatively affects book 2. Or book 1 might not sell at all. #writingtips

Betty White was still living, working, doing what she loved and making people laugh until the very end. 99 years. Only 17 days shy of 100. That's just remarkable. What a National treasure who will be deeply miss. RIP Betty. 🕊

Today two different authors in very different stages of their careers confessed to deep imposter syndrome. So, as an industry professional, I’m here to make it official. You write? You’re an author. Be proud. You’re incredible. Now go write some more. I can’t wait to read it. 💙
