I know a lot of editors probably don't agree, but I am so sick of seeing editors make their edits based on a ton of old rules that we don't follow in every day speech anymore. Editing a YA right now (it's so good, can't wait for this one), & the author has an intro note about

Please please please support small presses right now. It doesn’t have to be this small press. Just any of them. After January, it’s going to be much harder to do so, and we are all going to need the engagement from the end of this year to help keep us afloat.

reminder because we just had someone pull a submission for this reason - EIC @emily_perkovich is a SxWer as are more than a few of our authors & masthead. We are pro SxWers. If you aren't we may not be the best fit for your work.

This was my response to someone who has chatted with me a few times and asked if I could take their work because they are neurodivergent & querying is hard. I’m sharing this because it was a hard, uncomfortable conversation I’d to love to avoid anyone having to have.

about rules and more about the flow. Is it natural? Are the run-ons distracting or hard to read through? Is the slang so colloquial that it can't be parsed? If not, why are we sucking the life out of stories? I just wish we'd move away from this grammar police expectation.

I don’t care if it means you won’t submit to us or won’t read us. I will NEVER be publishing besties just to make them feel good. We are looking for quality work from marginalized people that gets passed up to pay fair royalties to & give fair chances.

like passive voice or improper grammar/too many contractions. people. don't. speak. like. that. anymore. It is ok to say wanna instead of want to in dialogue or have your YA character think that she literally wants to die of embarrassment. I feel like editors need to worry less

Hey. Not elaborating. But. If you don’t support a free Palestine, you can click that unfollow any time now, and in the meantime keep your name out of our submission queue. 🥰
