WANTED: NY Spec Fic Lit Agent
I am a writer of some small merit, and self publishing isn’t netting me the income I need or want.
I have one finished and edited novel entitled _Kung Fu Zombies_ ready for your inspection. It’s horror-parody, with a dash of urban fantasy if you look hard enough.
I have another finished novel in the editing cycle entitled _Adapting_ which is soft Sci-Fi with some fantasy elements. The theme is sufficiently advanced science versus sufficiently interesting magic.
As you might guess, I write Speculative Fiction and take journeys into sub-genres from there as my whims decree. What I really need is a literary agent who wants to handle all of that.
I have heard from other authors that, if one wishes to Make It into the global literary scene, one must attain the services of a Literary Agent in New York. I have my eyes on the stars, and I want all the success that my writing is worth.
If this is not the case, I welcome guidance in the right direction.
However, I also welcome anyone willing to take me on.
If this is not you, reblog this so it can find someone who fits. If this is you, please get back to me @internutter. Thanks in advance for your patience and time.
hey guys. So as people probably know, I’m not well. I can barely move around anymore, my sleep is broken and I’m starting to lose memory function and ability. At almost 22 I can remember almost nothing of my life and my memory impairment is getting worse.
I’ve been a referred to a neuropsychiatrist here in Melbourne, and my appointment is on the first of April. The problem is, as anyone who has ever needed neurology or psychiatric help, it’s not a public doctor. I’ve been on a public waiting list now for almost two years to see a doctor about this, and it’s getting nowhere.
The cost of this appointment is around $600, and if I need follow up appointments and treatment (which I almost certainly will), these will run up to $500 a piece.
As I’m sure you are all aware, I’ve got absolutely nothing to my name. If I don’t manage to get these funds together to at least get looked at, there is a very, very strong possibility that I WILL die. Whatever is happening to me is becoming more and more severe by the day. I’m losing speech, motor function, concentration and more, and I’ve been living with near constant migraines for months.
If you can, please donate. I need a lot of help and it’s a lot to ask, but there’s simply nothing else I can do.
My PayPal is ladycattenborough@Gmail.com. if you can’t donate, please share. It’s really scary to think I might not get treated and I might go without for even longer than I have already.
Thanks

So here’s the skinny:
On July 31st, me and my fiance, mosteamybeats, are to be OUT of my grandparent’s apartment. The landladies have said that even though we’re “good kids, who don’t cause any problems”, they don’t believe in people living with their parents. So we have to be moved out by the end of the month. Sucks, we know.
We’ve tried looking for apartments in the last few months, but because I can’t find a job, we don’t make the required 3x the amount of rent to get an apartment. Mo’s income alone isn’t enough to get us ANYWHERE in my town, because most (if not all) of the apartments in this crummy city are $400+. My only current income is very generous people giving me my current $13 a month on patreon, and that already pays for my bank fees alone.
I’ve applied to everywhere I can think of, even temp agencies, and not a single call back, no matter what I do. And so long as I don’t have a job that earns me a higher income, no place will let us sign a lease. And to top it off the housing assistance in my city is chock-full and aren’t accepting any new applications. So we’re calling out for assistance, so that we don’t end up living on the street.
Right now our goal (while hoping and praying some job will call me back and making other plans) is to buy a car, so that at the very least we have reliable transportation to get Mo to work and a place to sleep. After that any money would go to saving up in case we need to stay at a hotel, and saving up so that if I do get a job we can pay down-payments on a place.
Maybe you don’t want to give something for nothing?
- I have commissions! Pretty decent price if I do say so myself!
- I have a Patreon! Which helps me boost my income! Also patrons get discounted prices on those already nice commission prices I was speaking of!

- Purchasing a commission!
- Becoming a Patron for as little as $1 a month!
- REBLOGGING, spreading this post as far as possible, even if you have nothing to give, reblogging is very important!!
Any way you feel you can help us is greatly appreciated!! Feel free to contact me @lopbunnyboy.tumblr.com!
NEED COUCH- BRISBANE, QLD
Hey, so I’m Sophie, a 20 y/o trans woman from New Zealand and I’m looking for a place to stay, for a week or two at the maximum, in Brisbane, QLD, while I find myself a place of my own to live.
I’m a hospitality worker who came down to Sydney to check out the scene, but unfortunately the cost of living here is too damn high, so I’m gonna go back to Brisbane to live and party. Doubly unfortunately, my Brisbane friend’s landlord has forced them to take in this couchsurfer, because he’s paying the landlord, so there isn’t any place for me to crash.
I’m pretty much ready to move in somewhere straight away, I’ve got bond money & stuff ready, I just need to be able to physically check places out and speak to landlords to make sure I’m not getting screwed over on a place, so I’ll probably be long gone before you have the chance to get sick of me.
I’m down with pretty much any living situation or sleeping place, whether it’s the floor, a hammock, or an armchair and am fully respectful of sober spaces, safe spaces and vegan flats.
If you take me in, I’m more than willing to help out w/ cooking & cleaning and can put a little bit towards rent/food/utilities.If you think you can help me out, please either send me an ask or email me at sophiee [dot] chilson [at] gmail [dot] com . Can skype or call/text as well, just hmu with an ask for details.
If you’re not in Brisbane or don’t have any space, please reblog this post to try and get the signal out to someone else

Should I toss anything else at Inkitt?
There’s nothing in the rules to say that I can’t put in some of my other stuff. Any one of my Instants… one of my other short stories… parts of my books…
[fanfic wins nothing, ergo fanfic is right out :P]
Should I do it though? And which stories should I use?
I’m a 20 year old bedbound woman with a spinal injury, about to be evicted from my subsidised apartment for being disabled. I’m urgently seeking help to fund temporary private rental, and medical assessments necessary for a government housing application
I am completely unable to sit/walk. If I become homeless, my life will be in danger, due to physical vulnerability, and inability to request food without a charged mobile.

Edit: Even very small amounts help. 50 cents from each person who reblogs this would accumulate to hundreds of dollars over time.
A Question:
I’ve seen various Tumblogs post replies to replies they’ve got to other posts [Yeah, I know, confusing]
And I want to know: How the hell do I do that?
