The Shit No One Tells You About Writing · Leveraging Surprise and Disruption · 2 Jul 2026 podcast

And at the end of the day, it's kind of like love or immortality, family or love.

And they also seem like stakes that you can't go back on.

Like once you've made your decision, it seems again, based on this pitch that we can't go back on the decision, which makes for very, very high stakes, which I really liked.

So I thought that was absolutely well done.

The last paragraph, the author bio paragraph, also really loved it.

For the sake of this podcast, I'm assuming you kind of kept the biographical details light for your future pitches.

I would include where you live.

And again, if people don't feel comfortable doing that, like a region is always nice.

I got the sense that you don't live in Japan anymore because including living in a... It just kind of... I wasn't clear on if you're still in Japan or not.

So I would just try to make that more clear.

It's just information that we like to know about writers and just...

For no other reason, just other than it just kind of grounds us in place and just helps us get to know you a little bit better.

I might move that up higher because in the first line, you said all her life, 17 year old Julie's parents had two ironclad rules.

You get the sense that, you know, they are, you know, a family unit.

And then like lines later, parents are imprisoned.

I don't know if there's a way to kind of incorporate it at the top, all her life, 17 year old Julie's parents.
