I think the holidays is the roughest time for writers, especially if you are in the query trenches or on submission. It’s difficult because in December most of publishing begins to shut down for the holidays. Agents are cleaning out their inboxes and taking care of established clients. Editors are trying to solidify last minute deals. Get to those manuscripts agents may be nudging on. There is just not a lot of room for anything new. Recently I’ve seen so many posts by writers who are so exhausted and feeling low over the state of publishing right now. I’ve been there and absolutely get it, but I also hope that people know this will pass. After the first of the year, inboxes will open. Deals will be negotiated again. Things will look brighter. So if you are feeling down right now, know that you are not alone. Please hang in there because things will look better in the new year. You’ve come so far. Please don’t stop now. ❤️ #writerlife #writersconnection #authorlife #querytrenches #publishingprobs #publishinglife #writersnetwork #writers_together #writersofinstagram #authorsofig #igauthor #igauthorlife https://www.instagram.com/p/CXjUWtfJCsu/?utm_medium=tumblr
