Jennifer Luce@jenniferluce.bsky.social · 4mo agoI'm thrilled to announce that I'm now officially repped by @hhandrade.bsky.social at Bradford Literary Agency! I'm so grateful for her support and her long-term vision for my career. I can't wait to get started working on GUMIHO and future written projects with her. ❤️ #writingcommunity #agented
NEW: A new pre-print study offers the first causal evidence that outsourcing reasoning tasks to AI can rapidly erode users' independent performance AND their will to persist despite difficulty. "People’s persistence drops... they’re also not willing to try without AI.” futurism.com/artificial-i...

Pitch events with the experts!!! Not me, but Zilla and @annahirsch.bsky.social definitely qualify
zilla@zillawrites.bsky.social · 4mo agoTwo new things I've been working on: SUBSTACK - zillawrites.substack.com/p/the-thing-... Podcast - withseriespotential.substack.com/p/episode-2-... (all about pitch events!)
@zillawrites.bsky.social never pulls her punches. This is a bit of tough love of what it takes to be a writer. To break in. To succeed. And her last line? "It’s whether you’re willing to keep going after you find out how much further there is to go." 🔥 #booksky #writingcommunity #querying

I just finished my first year as a First Reader for #RevPit! Two years ago I was on the other side. Entering, not getting shortlisted, not getting in. And again in 2025. Two times a "loser". Here's what I want every writer who didn't get in to know: 🧵
First article from my series, The Life That Didn’t Happen, is live!!! It’s all true, all authentically me, and may include some cringe and humor in it depending on the reader. #writingcommunity #writers #writesky open.substack.com/pub/jademaso...

I keep seeing "all authors use AI, the real issue is they're being forced to be sneaky about it" headlines. Full stop No. This is a lie peddled for normalization. It's schoolyard-level pressure tactics "C'mon, all the cool kids are already doing it. We won't tell. It's fine. We're on your side."
'According to an October study by the BBC, even the most advanced AI chatbots gave wrong answers a whopping 45 percent of the time.' USE YOUR BRAIN USE YOUR BRAIN USE YOUR BRAIN USE YOUR BRAIN USE YOUR BRAIN USE YOUR BRAIN USE YOUR BRAIN USE YOUR BRAIN USE YOUR BRAIN USE YOUR BRAIN USE YOUR BRAIN

Three chapters left in the big edit. Then a line edit. Then this book can be my CPs problem for a while 😂
