Uh, I made a few mistakes in my last email. The biggest was sending people to my new freebie of what to do after earning media exposure… and having the PDF undeliverable Thankfully, I got some nice emails alerting me to the issue and it was fixed. Then… in the image I made promoting that freebie, I had a typo. The email I got alerting me to that was not so kind. I wrote about it on LinkedIn. Click here to see how it unfolded. Press Releases SuckThe header on my website reads: “We don’t write press releases. It’s not 1990.” Quick tip: Before you dive into drafting that press release, take a pause. More often than not, there’s a better way to spread your news. Why not keep it breezy with a social media shoutout? Maybe craft a cool piece of content that tells your story more vividly? Or, if you've really got something juicy, a well-thought-out pitch could be your golden ticket. Here’s the deal: Press releases aren’t the magic potion to make something seem more newsworthy or important. They don’t automatically get you more eyeballs or guarantee media coverage – unless you’re a big shot like Apple or Google, maybe. There are times when they’re necessary, sure, like for formal stuff: big launches, partnerships, mergers – you get the gist. But, let’s be real, they’re not always the MVP. Got a real story to tell? A pitch done right can be way more impactful. If not, why not leverage your own channels? Your social media, your blogs, and your platform is powerful. Use it! Let’s rethink how we share our news, yeah?!

I finally realized why AI keeps giving people mediocre content. They’re briefing it like a stressed-out group chat with one vague sentence, three missing details, and a follow-up correction 14 seconds later. I’ve been deep in Anthropic’s prompting best practices lately, and the biggest revelation is this: Anthropic recommends structuring prompts the same way you’d brief an employee. Because you know I love a specific example, here’s what that actually looks like in practice. Let’s say I want...
Hi Reader, Last week, I went to PitchFest at ThrillerFest in NYC, and let me tell you... It was a whirlwind. For three hours, I met with as many literary agents and editors as I could, pitching Zoe’s Got Baggage again and again until I could probably do it in my sleep. The best part? Most agents said "yes" and asked to see more. Now we wait... This is what I learned that I can pass on to you: Don’t treat a pitch like a speech. Treat it like the start of a conversation. At PitchFest, we only...
Here's a quick update from the “trying to get a literary agent” trenches, because things are getting interesting. So far:- 51 agents pitched- 18 no’s- 7 full manuscript requests And yes, those 7 requests are included in the 18 responses… which means there are still a lot of agents out there silently reading, considering, or ghosting me. Seven full requests feels like real momentum. It means something about this story is working. It also means I’ve entered the part of the process where...
