What publishers have on their #MSWL and what authors are writing don’t always match up. What are you writing that no one seems to be asking for yet? Or what do you wish they would ask for more of? #WritingCommunity #LitAgent #LetMeKnow #TellMeAllTheThings

I will not eat my nieces cookies. I will not eat my nieces cookies. I will not, well, I mean, surely one couldn’t hurt . . . *Drives frantically back to the store to replace the entire box of cookies I ate* #CookieMonster #WritingBreak #LitAgent #Cookie

When I say, “I didn’t connect,” it means I wasn’t transported, I didn’t feel the magic. That doesn’t mean your story isn’t good; it just wasn’t for me. Keep going! You may find an agent who loves it. #WritingCommunity #LitAgent #KeepGoing

If you’re in the trenches today, querying is subjective, publishing is subjective, and not every book you write is meant for the shelf. The path to publishing is a journey. It is not linear, nor easy. The ones who succeed are the ones who don’t give up. 🤍 #WritingCommunity

You had an idea, wrote it out on paper, and created something incredible. Don’t let the rejections get you down. Don’t let anyone steal your joy. You’re an author, be proud of all you’ve done! #WritingCommunity #LitAgent #BeProud #AuthorLife

Imagine this: You score a ticket to #SanDiegoComicCon AND you get to sit in on book panels. “Tarot Cards, Grimoires, and Spells: Writing Magical Books” and “Lucasfilm Publishing” - are you kidding me?! What a dream! #MagicalBooks #Lucasfilm #AGirlCanDream

I love this! It’s so informative. I highly suggest using an editor if you are able. If you can’t, make sure your beta readers/writing partners know what your expectations are when reading your manuscript. #WritingCommunity #LitAgent #Editor

Hmmm, thrillers are sneaking their way into my queries, and I’m not exactly mad about it. Maybe I need to update my #MSWL #WritingCommunity #LitAgent #ThrillerReads

Exactly what happens in my head when someone ask what's my favorite book. Originally posted on the other app by @ zenith-and-blade.bsky.social #WritingCommunity #LitAgent #FavoriteBook

Have you made a mistake while sending out queries? Don’t panic! We all make mistakes. Most of them give me a chuckle. No need to worry, I still read the manuscript. ☺️ #WritingCommmunity #LitAgent #Manuscript

Don't worry about those manuscript comps; they don’t need to be perfect. All you need is something with the same vibe. You got this. #WritingCommmunity #LitAgent #Comps

I have the pleasure of working with @NikkiGroom4, and she is a fabulous agent! If you’d like to submit it to her, you had better hurry. She only has her queries open for a few more hours! #WritingCommunity #LitAgent #Querying

What a fun opportunity! Long ago, as a book blogger, one of my favorite perks was reading ARCs. It’s a great way to learn more about new authors! #WritingCommmunity #LitAgent #ARCs

I love this idea! #WritingCommmunity #PositiveFeedback

You’re not behind. Publishing has no timeline. You’re exactly where you need to be. Keep writing, keep trying, keep growing. #WritingCommunity #KeepWriting

Reading a manuscript in public is a risk. What if I cry? What if I laugh? What if the characters kiss and I giggle like a 12-year-old? #WritingCommunity #LitAgent

Writers, I beg you: use a developmental editor. You are never too good, too experienced, or too talented to skip this step. A good dev editor is worth their weight in gold. #WritingCommunity #LitAgent #MSWL
