As summer winds down and we get back into back to school mode, thinking cozy interior decor is top priority.

From layering fabrics and textiles to extra pillows and fresh sheets and plush bath towels,

I can't stop thinking about being enveloped by my home.

Whether it's by the fireplace or a piping hot bath or making sure the kids are tucked in their beds.

We recently redid our bathrooms in our house, goodbye 1990s, and I love how they've come together. But one thing that always solidifies the look is the towels, soap bottles, hooks, and more. Whether it's hand towels or guest bath towels, I like to make sure the textiles, textures, and are hand-picked items, and they feel like a hotel bathroom or spa, and each detail is considered. Wayfair has the perfect options for us. Wayfair always delivers so quickly so you don't have to wait and second guess any decision making. It's already at your door.

Beta-reader matchup time is happening again.

It's been so gratifying over the summer to be tagged in so many posts about beta readers

who've become writing besties and who are still going strong many years after they were

first matched.

Some even traveled to meet up and do

writing weekends together, which sounds incredible. I can't guarantee any of that. That's entirely

up to you, but what I can guarantee is that you'll be matched with a group of people working

in your genre and or time zone who will critique 3,000 words of your work as you

critique theirs in return. You can sign up from now until the 31st of August with the matchup emails

going out on the 1st of September. Head to my website, Bianca Moray.com, and look for the beta reader

matchup tab.

Welcome to another episode of Shooting the Shit with literary agents Carly Waters and

Cece Leera, where we dissect publishing gossip, discuss book industry trends and the overall state of the

book business. If you've ever wanted to grab a coffee with two literary agents, grab your mug and pull up a chair.
