Great to hear from you, Cat! I'm in awe of your down-to-earth honesty, but have a teeny question: do you provide your MS to people you ask for proposal blurbs?
“With all due respect to righteous takedowns of “hustle culture,” the writing business is a hustle. Most businesses are! Show me one that isn’t!” <-- so true!!!
Great advice! Blurbs work, full stop. I heard about a new author the other day, went to the bookstore to check out his debut effort, flipped the book over, saw a blurb from Paul Beatty, as was like: I'm buying this book. And I did.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts with The New York Times community.

The review is shocking both because of the 2.5 Million dollars Harvard took to admit Jared juxtaposed by the loss of 44 Billion dollars in yesterday's Times by the Founder of We Work. How can they both attract so much money ? It took me decades to raise and spend $250,000 on over a dozen Off-Broadway productions, and years to pay back my student loans. I was never on salary but won Awards. With the rise and re-rise of djt, I shudder about the future when access buys everything and the little guy is tossed out,

The good thing about “dating” as a teenager is that there is a set time period of when it’s over.
Then you simply get to live with the awkwardness for the rest of your life. It’s a gift, really.
