Mom Writes Season 3 Update

Description
Hi, everyone! We have a Mom Writes season 3 update. One important announcement I have is that Mom Writes is moving! You will no longer find our current show notes on the Author Accelerator website. Seasons 1 and 2 still live on the Author Accelerator site, so all our old show notes are there. But anything new from this point forward will be…here! On my website www.AbbyMathews.org.   And you guys, I spell my last name with ONE T. Like the everyone’s least favorite subject in school, math. Just kidding. Kinda. I mean, some people love math. I just said that so you would remember my name has one T in it, like math. ;-)Season 3 is going to be structured a wee bit differently, since we are headed into uncharted territory (or at least it’s uncharted for ME). Season 3 is all about pitching, and when you query agents it gets unpredictable. So, whereas you could previously count on me to write my 20 pages every other week on Seasons 1 and 2, I don’t really know what kind of rhythm Season 3 will have.That said, we’re starting out with 8 episodes where Jennie lays out pitching prep, and we’re going to release them pretty quickly. Most likely M W F, M W F, M W and then I’m going to hit send on my first query letter as close to “live” as we can get it. (As a matter of fact, Jennie is going to be on the phone with me when I hit send, for moral support. Because she’s awesome like that!)Mel is still around, even if you don’t hear her voice at first. FEAR NOT. She is alive and well! But like Mom Writes, Mel has also made a big move across state lines. She just needs a little time to settle and adjust before jumping into the fray! So, as long as I don’t mess up the tech on my end, look for a new episode coming Monday, October 5, 2020!

Twitter pitching. I always said I’d never do it. And then my friend Lidija Hilje, the Pitching Queen, talked me into it. Lidija also helped me put the final polish on my query letter, so since she also said she would help me polish my Twitter pitch, I agreed. Of course she talked me into it...

We had a really great question come in from my friend and fellow writer, Mindy. She wanted to know about “the nudge.” She wanted to know when it was okay to nudge an agent who has your manuscript. (Side note, Mindy has been working her butt off querying agents while writing her second book....
