I've officially re-opened to queries today after a long hiatus away from my query inbox, so here's an updated #mswl of what I'm looking for these days:
Which saint do you pray to for likes and follows? #WritingCommunity #amwriting #amquerying #booktwitter
Okay, it's time to celebrate my recent good news with a query critique giveaway, as promised! To be considered, give me your book pitch below and retweet this. I'll pick a winner this Wednesday!
Who’s your favorite bisexual male character in literature?? #amwriting #writerslife #WritingCommunity #queer #LGBTQIA #BookTwitter
Writing about family today and wondering how anyone does NOT use a pen name #amwriting #WritingCommmunity
Write well today, my friends. May the Muses be with you 😁 #amwriting #amquerying
Been thinking about the quote “you miss 100% of the shots you don’t take” (Wayne Gretzky). It’s like a weird little slant rhyme of logic. Perfect for Michael Scott. Yes, I’m querying. #writerscommunity #writerslift
Having read Dan Sinykin’s Big Fiction, I’m surprised more agents don’t ask for comps in queries. Or is that just supposed to be baked into your query letter? #writercommunity #writerscommunity #WritingLife #writingadvice #WritingCommunity
Profiling Dan Dennett was one of the peak experiences of my life. It wasn't just that his thinking changed mine, but that he was an inspiring human being, full of curiosity, vitality, and creativity. We should all try to be a little more like Dan. newyorker.com/magazine/2017/…
16 of my colleagues were laid off in February and DCist was shut down. This deeply reported story by @abeaujon reveals aspects of that decision by WAMU management, it’s ripple effects, that even I, as a staff member, was not aware of. washingtonian.com/2024/04/19/why…
So sad for the world to lose Daniel Dennett today. I’m going to read Breaking the Spell to honor his life and work

Reading through queries. One thing I've noticed is that many BB and PB queries feature extremely short pitch paragraphs. Like 2 sentences. This isn't enough. I need the problem and stakes, yes, but also the antics in between. Your pitch shouldn't be shorter than your bio.
@Jacinta_Patt ALL agents want a great pitch. So at least 1/3 of your query letter being devoted to the pitch is universal advice.
arrived at THE Parnassus Books in Nashville and immediately freaked out 🥹
I've officially re-opened to queries today after a long hiatus away from my query inbox, so here's an updated #mswl of what I'm looking for these days:

One thing I won’t tolerate as my son gets older is ppl telling him “you’re a boy, boys don’t cry.”
OH MY GOD. YALL DID THIS. AN UNAPOLOGETICALLY QUEER BOOK IS THE # 1 NEW RELEASE IN YA FICTION. I AM CRYING. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU. 💙
In the three years I have been writing, I have never seen BOMB or Zoetrope All-Story open for submissions. Do these magazines even accept submissions?
I’m overwhelmed (in the best possible way) by all the love, support, and kind words on my debut release! 🥹🫶🏻 I hope you might see this — because I’ve see each of your messages — and know how much YOU made April 30th so special! THANK YOU for believing in me and this story! 💙
In case anyone ever thinks that people are exaggerating about how stupid the job market is these days, I just saw a job ad for an entry-level position that requires a Master's Degree.
Trump is holding a rally at the tiny two-gate regional airport by my parents’ house in rural Michigan, the same one I fly in and out of when I visit. I hope he has time to get a meal from the restaurant! The food’s terrible, just like in prison.
Thanks so much @prize_novel for the feedback! It’s thought provoking, enormously insightful and the fact you’ve done it for free is the icing on the cake. I’m also thrilled to say my entry is one of their top 100 and will be in the agent showcase in the summer
Everything is so so awful. I know this is not an articulate take.
Seeing a lot of posts of people feeling down from queries/rejections. As a former actress who went through drama school and worked in the industry for years, I'm no stranger to constant rejection. But I got some advice from a drama teacher that always stuck with me 🧵 #amquerying
I love the way the birds come alive after the rain. Nightingales joining in the general avian discourse.
Today I walked from the tip of Manhattan to the base.
