Author: E.K.Thiede

I'm a writer, former teacher, mother of tiny humans, fast talker, and a northern transplant who now lives in central Virginia. Things I love: books, people who care deeply about things, dance parties with my kids, espresso, and big squashy armchairs. I edit my novels constantly, but not my blog posts, so don't expect brilliant wordplay here. Welcome to my brain! It's messy and disorganized but never boring.

Plotting for Pantsers: An Umbrella in a Hurricane

Posted on October 13, 2019April 17, 2022 by E.K.Thiede

Hi. My name’s Emily, and I’m a pantser. Unlike many of my critique partners who plot their books chapter by chapter then write from start to finish, I’m more likely to leap on concepts like a cowboy on a bucking bronco and hold on tight for a wild ride. I tend to draft fast and…

I’m Alive, I promise

Posted on August 31, 2019April 17, 2022 by E.K.Thiede

Hello from revision land! I wish I had a better excuse for my lack of posts recently, but really I just kept forgetting my password. Anyway. Let’s catch up. After having two manuscripts accepted into competitive mentorship programs (PitchWars and Author Mentor Match) only to have them die in the query trenches, I indulged in…

What is KidLit, anyway? (Part 1)

Posted on March 17, 2019April 17, 2022 by E.K.Thiede

May people who aren’t writers or teachers (and even some who are) may not understand the different categories of children’s literature, aka “KidLit.” You may be thinking, “So? Who cares?” But, if you have a child, know a child, or teach children, you probably should. See, adults who don’t understand the differences may struggle to…

Liminality: The Promise and the Fear of Between

Posted on February 16, 2019April 17, 2022 by E.K.Thiede

I am currently between projects. This is an uncomfortable place for me. I tend to juggle multiple works in progress simultaneously–drafting a shiny new idea, revising another, and querying or polishing another. It’s how I began my writing “career” (as of yet unpaid, but I refuse to call it a hobby) and it’s the only…

The Agent Showcase: Advice from a PitchWars Flop

Posted on January 30, 2019April 17, 2022 by E.K.Thiede

First, DISCLAIMERS: I don’t actually consider myself, or anyone, a “PitchWars flop,” but, “Advice from a PitchWars-mentee-who-didn’t-achieve-her-showcase-goal-but-learned-and-made-friends-and-is-still-querying-and-hasn’t-given-up’” isn’t QUITE as pithy. (Plus, I’ll know who actually reads and who doesn’t from the “hey, don’t call yourself that!” responses. *devil horns*) Also, Pitchwars had a major evolution this past year (2018), with much thought and care…

Books by other Emilys

Posted on October 30, 2018April 17, 2022 by E.K.Thiede

Sorry I’ve gone dark recently, friends. I was so determined to have my current manuscript ready to query by October but that did not happen, so I’ve been scrambling to get back on track for a while now, while juggling a writing class, kids, volunteering at Writer House and a kitten rescue, plus the self-induced…

Queries? Must we?

Posted on October 10, 2018April 17, 2022 by E.K.Thiede

Hey, let’s talk about queries. Evil little suckers, aren’t they? I loathe queries. When they’re mine, at least. Months of carefully crafting a story, with all its layers and themes and emotional motivations, and then we’re expected to condense it down to 250 words? Ugh, misery. I think we should all just write each other’s…
