Another week with no social media activity on Quill Shift Literary Agency's three accounts. By now, I expect this, and I am no longer disappointed (ie. hopeful). Additionally, my emails have been left unanswered, and I believe I will never receive a reply, either. Now more than ever, I wonder if Quill Shift is even a business anymore. Of course, 3 Seas Literary has posted with six times on Twitter and twice on Facebook. This amount is low compared to previous weeks, but then I consider quality over quantity (which Quill Shift is failing at in both respects). Here are two screenshots from 3 Seas. 3 Seas promotes their brand while showing support to their authors. In the long run, this shows prospective authors that the company cares.
Quill Shift does none of this with their online presence(absence). There is no quality, because they have no quantity. Furthermore, in terms of building confidence within a prospective audience like 3 Seas Literary has done, they have utterly failed at it. I was perhaps one of their biggest supporters, but now, my hope has dried up. If Quill Shift did surprise me and replied positively to my internship application, I am not sure how I would respond. Would an internship with Quill Shift Literary Agency even be meaningful on a resume?
