FOR WRITERS Today’s writer topic comes from QSFer J. Scott Coatsworth: If you work with “traditional” publishers (ie: not strictly self-published), who are your favorites, and why? Note: please do not use this chat to talk about publishers you dislike. Writers: This is a writer chat – you are welcome to share your own book/link, as long as it fits the chat, but please do so as part of a discussion about the topic. Join the chat
FOR WRITERS Today’s writer topic comes from QSFer Kari Trenten: “Rejection – Now What?” I’ll elaborate a little. You see a great call for submissions. Or you hear about a publisher you really want to work with. You spend weeks, or months, crafting the perfect story, put it in a metaphorical envelope and mail it off. Then two months later, you get a rejection email. What do you do with it next? Join the chat
FOR READERS Today’s reader topic comes from QSFer ‘Nathan Smith: As a reader, over the last few years, I’ve closed the door on some publishers given how they’ve handled (or not handled) significant issues (especially when it comes to the queer community), and no longer buy books they’ve published. How much, if at all, do you react to a publisher’s actions? Writers: This is a reader chat – you are welcome to join it, but please do not reference your own works directly. Thanks! Join the chat
