DAYUM, Allyson, I like the way her mind works.
I always thought the name Serenity had a vaguely funereal sound to it.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.

Excellent, Allyson! I'm really looking forward to the book when it's available, as I'm sure it will be.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Always Anti-fascist!
I think it fits.

Because books.
That's a great pitch, Allyson. So cool that you found someone so totally on your wavelength.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
That's a wonderful pitch, and I think it nails your writing's style and appeal.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
That's fantastic, Allyson! Even if I didn't know you, I'd buy the book on the strength of that pitch.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

Victor, that looks damned good. Grabbing and beautifully laid out.

Who? moi??
Allyson, one other thing that you would have to pay for. AFTER the copy edits are done and IF you then decide you want to change something, the cost of that is on you. A friend of mine suddenly decided to change her hero's name. When she found out what it would cost to reset the entire book, she left it alone.
Remember, this is AFTER the publisher has said that's it. So make any changes during the copy edit phase.
