Longtime readers might remember when I used to do the 3@3. New readers, welcome to the explanation: a few years back, I used to go live once a week at 3pm and answer 3 questions that had been pre-submitted. It was all live, no editing, just raw talk. Turns out, I've got a pile of those clips sitting around, and honestly, most of the advice hasn't aged a day. Would I add some information or say it a bit different? Maybe. But these are still so solid, I decided to resurrect them and share them...

Hey Reader, I think I've talked a lot here about how much music is a big part of my life and part of my routine is to listen to new song releases every Friday. I look forward to listening while I work, discovering new gems, and letting music be the background to my daily life. Sometimes a song will really hit me for a variety of reasons: the bass line, the rhythm, the lyrics, or just a general vibe of "yes, please, more of this!" This morning it was a new song by Teddy Swims called "Perfect...

Hey Reader, I'm planning my edit schedule for October and November and thought I'd send a quick newsletter about my editorial openings.

But I never share things with that without asking for permission so I emailed Anna to ask if I could use this quote from the voice note she sent me: Hey Angela, I just wanted to say that the reviews coming in for Checking Out the Librarian on...

Hey Reader, I’m working on something new for authors, and I want your input before I build it. There are a LOT of people in publishing telling authors what you should be doing. Write faster. Publish more. Be on social media. Build a newsletter. Run ads. Do audio. Make special editions. Try Kickstarter. And on and on. And on lol. I know there's a lot that goes into being an author, and building an author career, and I'm always thinking about the best ways to help with that. So I’m curious:...
