I have a bunch of new followers after #MSWL day (hi, everyone! 👋🏻), so let’s do an #askagent.

Do you have publishing questions? Reply and ask. I’ll do my best to answer.

It's #MSWL day! For those who don't know, you can read through posts under the hashtag to see what literary agents and editors are looking for in submissions.

My official MSWL profile is linked below, but I'll share some specific wish list items in the posts that follow, too.

@ publishing are you listening to this

Does anyone know why so many writers are querying super long manuscripts lately? I’m seeing a lot of projects clocking in at close to 200k.

Are writers not editing before querying? Is there bad advice somewhere that says the higher the word count, the more impressive the story?

I vote we all buy one book (or more) from this list today and give it to a young person in our life.

Shout out to @authorsabb.bsky.social for a great town hall today. They’re doing incredible, important work.

Making art is so embarrassing. Oh, you had a feeling and wanted to express it? You tapped into the divine creative stream and let it flow through you? Grow up, dude.

“Courts have agreed that these vague and overbroad laws aimed at keeping young readers from accessing contested library books are unconstitutional.”

Love that my very first thought when I wake up in the morning is wondering what level of hell we’ll reach today.

Quite possibly the most delightful series to ever exist.

Happy pub day to @hellocookie.bsky.social and @heywhitney.bsky.social!

Congratulations to @tayberryjelly.bsky.social! Taylor's gorgeous debut, Murray Out of Water, is now a Stonewall Honor Book. 🌊🏳️‍🌈

…it’s only day 3.🤦🏻‍♀️

Another day, another rant about wishing publishers would acquire more black and white graphic novels. 🖤🤍🖤

And what exactly is the purpose of life after I watch the Silo season finale?

Help me buy books. What are some of the best fantasy novels you’ve read in the last two years?

I have made the fatal error of going to a store on Black Friday weekend.

I would like to scream loudly about how much I love this movie. This adaptation exceeded my (very high) expectations. 💚🩷
