Critical read, albeit lengthy.
‘‘The old world was forged in carbon. The new one will be forged in silicon, lithium, copper, green iron and aluminium — refined with clean electrons and traded between nations that chose to build rather than extract.’’ https://substack.com/home/post/p-194656234 #Geopolitics #Futurescapes #Climate

🔥 We live in an age of overwhelm. Social media, geopolitical chaos, the dizzying pace of an AI revolution that was supposed to make our lives easier and is instead being used to complicate, confuse and even end them. It is a lot. Tchaikovsky’s books offer something the Institute for the Future might call “future thinking”

I will attend the #Futurescapes writers workshop this spring. Looking forward to meet the new and old faces and learn a lot.

Is it just my impression or has it indeed become harder to sell novels that center trauma? I have only anecdotal evidence, so I wonder what others think about this.
My query went through three sessions of the #Futurescapes workshop, QueryShark, and several other agents. I even disclose my personal trauma, for authenticity. My confidence in my pages has been confirmed by others many times.
But I only ever get form rejections, even from the agents that helped me with the query.

Delighted to announce that I will be attending the Futurescapes workshop in March of this year! This should be a super fun few days of meeting people, exchanging critique, and learning a bunch. I'm excited! #futurescapes2023 #futurescapes

And now for some personal news…
I’m thrilled to announce that I have been accepted for admission to the 2023 #Futurescapes Writers’ Workshop!
Very honored and excited by the opportunity. I’m hoping to seek feedback on my new #SciFi manuscript at the workshop.
Which means I should probably, idk, try to finish #writing it. 👀

@ChristineBirchwood I did #Futurescapes online earlier in the year and it was fabulous. Highly recommend! (Even if like me you have to wake up at 4am to log on)

#Futurescapes workshop today. My group will have a session on query letters with Emily Forney of BookEnds Literary Agency. Looking forward to her feedback on everyone's letters--and learning from it!
