The all-singing, all-dancing, all-questions episode of Shipping & Handling. We discuss sensitivity readers, “write what you know,” revision, pitching novels in “dead” genres, and much, much more. 

ANNOUNCMENT 1: We will be doing another query critique episode! Please email your query (your query ONLY) to [email protected] by Friday, May 19th if you would like it to be considered for the episode.  -we will not be able to critique every query we receive -we will omit personal details like names and titles. 

ANNOUNCEMENT 2: More of a request for more information. We had a cool shades anon write in on tumblr and ask a question about past involvement in fandom and its effect on future publication prospects - can you write in to us with more information so we can give better advice? You can email or do another anon ask, whichever works. Thank you!
