Hello r/TradPublish!

Who else can’t believe it’s May already?

Welcome to our Seventh monthly check-in thread!

Here’s this month’s prompt: How do you cope with waiting for anything in the querying process, whether that’s feedback or agent responses?

---

This monthly pinned post aims to help the writing community connect with other writers interested in traditional publishing!

Share how your WIP draft is going, or how your current querying is doing, or other relatable traditional publishing topics in this thread!

This is a great thread to talk about writing, reading, updates, accountability, trends, vents, and more.

Do NOT advertise any editor services here, and no free samples to later ask for payment are allowed. You can try r/hireaneditor or other applicable subreddits instead.

We also ask that self promotion of completed works do not contain links. Mentioning success is completely fine!

We’d like to take this opportunity to remind people that works generated with AI, and AI generated feedback is not allowed here, either. r/writingwithAI is a better subreddit for that, and you can also try r/betareadersforAI.

I’d also like to note that we have additional flairs available to all: querying, drafting, editing, and some writing genres/age categories. Please consider using them to help people match with you. Industry experts can modmail to verify for a flair if they wish.

Also, it’s best to subscribe to our sub before commenting or posting to help avoid Reddit’s filters sending your content into the spam queue.

Please ensure you comment in good faith and do not break any other r/tradpublish rules.

Thank you, and happy writing/reading/editing!
