New year. New book. New agent!

My former agent’s retiring, and now I’m thrilled to be joining the Speilburg Literary family.

Friends, I wrote the book of my heart last year, and am overjoyed that Alice will be representing it in 2023.

Hi, I'm a storyteller and here's today's PSA:

When you travel somewhere new, get a book of local folktales / legends. It will fill the place with things you recognize faster than any guide book. Stories are attached to landscape even when they don't seem to be.

Big rumblings in the expansion of the #Fediverse have been happening recently.

#Tumblr has already promised to implement #ActivityPub (the protocol Mastodon uses), which will mean you can follow Tumblr accounts from here and vice versa. And today we a learning that #Flickr is also considering it!

This will be a massive expansion, which obviously carries some uncertainties, but I, for one, welcome our new federation partners.

This is the way the internet is supposed to work.

I should try posting on here! One thing I love doing on the ol’ social media is dishing publishing advice, so…

If you’re a writer gearing up to pitch, building a book proposal, researching agents, etc. I have a big resource page just for you.

Successful query letters, book proposals, guides to finding representation, all free. Here you go. https://www.ericsmithrocks.com/perfect-pitch #publishing #writing #authors

Perfect Pitch — ERIC SMITH

ERIC SMITH

Our son’s been working on his portfolio, and I’m loving the Ennio Morricone vibe here. Wants to add an over-the-top fake movie title. What should it be?

I suggested: Il Nome Della Morte è Sei Pistole Luc #conceptart #illustration #spaghettiwestern

@valerievaldes every year, this happens to me, the moment the weather finally turns colder!! After that, it’s Burt’s Bees salve and cotton gloves at night for next three months.
@kimbaker have never pushed a follow button so fast, Kim.

#Wow, this one is really a #stunning #picture of #NASA #SLS #launch, with the #Moon in the background.

This is NOT a composition.
