My sweet teenage daughter: “It’s spirit week and today is “goth day” but I don’t really have anything. *my elder-millennial heart rejoicing* I got you, darling!!

I am so excited for this! www.nytimes.com/2025/09/13/m...

Are you pitching me at a conference soon? PLEASE LEAVE TIME FOR QUESTIONS! I’m not talking about my question for you, but YOUR questions for ME! I want to hear your pitch, but you have my permission to ask about the industry, marketing/author brand, etc. Get the most out of your time! #amagenting

My author Kris Ackoury dropping some truth on YouTube. I have loved seeing him grow and become an even more fantastic writer along this journey! youtu.be/9CU8Py9jC2U?...

Thanks to all who have thought of us. The flood is receding and less damage was done this year than last thanks to all-hands-on-deck preparations.

The National Weather Service has updated its forecast for when the glacial outburst flood will crest. As of this evening, a crest somewhere between 16.25 and 16.75 feet is expected between 8 a.m. and noon Wednesday.

Thank you for keeping Juneau in your thoughts and prayers as we anticipate a glacier lake outburst flood (jökulhlaup) this week. My home is not in the flood zone, but friends, schools, churches, and beloved businesses are.

I’ve found some gems already in the round of queries that just closed! But I have about 1000 more to read and need to switch my focus back to my current authors. Thanks for your patience as always! #amagenting #closedtoqueries

Dunham Literary is closed for *unsolicited* queries. Do you have a referral, a conference code, or a pitch contest like or heart? Those are solicited queries, and you can still send one. Everyone else please wait until we open again.

Had so much fun doing this interview for the @jenniedunhamlit.bsky.social blog! Give it a look to get a better sense of how I got into agenting and what I look for in the projects I request. 🥰 www.dunhamlit.com/blog/agent-i... #literaryagent #publishing

It’s #kidlitartpostcard day! Here’s a spread from my upcoming board book “Baby Loves Football” written by Dr Lee C. Stuart and published by @ascendbooks. I draw picture books and comics. Represented by @bookbarrista at Dunham Literary. See my website for more. #illustration #kidlitart

Tales of the Shire is now available for pre-order! I’m pretty happy to see it’s only $40, I had been bracing myself for a higher price point. My affiliate link: amzn.to/44mybbd

If you queried me before 6/1/2025, you should now have received a reply. I’m a little further behind on requested full manuscripts, but I’m working on them!

Just sent out my latest #Creativity Newsletter. In addition to news of my poems on @thedirigible.bsky.social, I share tips for exercising your #imagination muscle. @bookbarrista.bsky.social preview.mailerlite.io/emails/webvi...

Well friends, I'm sitting on 700 unread query letters. I have already replied to an additional 200. I opened for queries 19 days ago. So, thanks for your patience - it's gonna be a minute. #amagenting #literaryagent #opentoqueries

Congratulations to our newest agent, Lee Milillo!! 👏🏻

Today’s weather is helping me function despite today’s news headlines. Lord, have mercy. #mendenhallglacier

If I like your pitch, please query me with #JoyPit 2025 in the subject line!

Current niche obsession: Merphy Napier reading through #dungeoncrawlercarl for the first time via the amazing #JeffHays narrated audiobook and gushing about it on #BookTube. So much fun! Where are my DCC people at here on #BookSky? #merphynapier #mattdimniman

#JoyPit is happening soon… June 6, 2025… Start prepping… #writingcommunity

Dunham Literary is OPEN for queries. Please review the submission guidelines on our website www.dunhamlit.com before contacting us. We look forward to lots of great, new projects!

Up-to-date #MSWL is live! www.manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/an... Query me between 6/1 and 7/15/25! #amagenting @manuscriptwishlist.bsky.social

My adult #MSWL is similar to my kidlit wants! I’m very interested in non-memoir non fiction (though I’m always open to a good memoir), uplifting literary fiction, and fun genre fiction that pushes boundaries and/or offers something innovative. See previous post about what I DON’T want. Open on 6/1.

I represent #kidlit of all kinds, but what I’m most interested in receiving in my inbox when we are #opentoqueries on 6/1 is: uplifting contemporary YA, non-fiction for all age groups written in compelling prose, projects from author/illustrators, and novels-in-verse! #MSWL

My #MSWL categories as we open for queries on 6/1: I’m happy to read both fiction and non-fiction for children and adults in all genres except: erotica, true crime, political non-fiction, very grisly horror, and AI generated works. #amagenting

#MSWL post! When we open to queries in 6/1 you’ll want to follow these guidelines to submit: www.dunhamlit.com/how-to-submit I’ll post more specifics about what I’m looking for right now in the coming days!

Dunham Literary will be #opentoqueries on June 1st. I’ll be sharing my MSWL here in small sections between now and then. Follow @jenniedunhamlit.bsky.social for more.

A big shout out to the delightful Cassidy Wasserman whose super cute graphic novel is coming out soon! She’s not my author but I got to hold her upcoming book in my hands today at the local comic con and it’s A+ adorable. A middle school fencer! 🤩 Pre-ordered!

"we want to be a synodal church, walking and always seeking peace, charity, closeness, especially to those who are suffering." Amen. #PopeLeoXIV

Dunham Literary is CLOSED for *unsolicited* queries. Do you have a referral, a conference code, or a pitch contest like or heart? Those are solicited queries, and you can still send one. Everyone else please wait until we open again! Watch social media for when we'll open again.

Editors! I have so very many talented authors that I'm currently on sub with! Anyone want to see kidlit about dogs and/or fire-science?

Dunham Literary will close to unsolicited queries after February 28, 2025. Please watch for announcements about when we re-open later in spring.

Hey hey! Is #MSWL day! I’m #opentoqueries at the moment, so I’ll post a few thoughts on what I’m looking for! Thanks @manuscriptwishlist.bsky.social for the fun event! Remember, the #MSWL hashtag is for agents/editors only! 🧵

Evil cannot conquer forever! In the end, it was not the might of men or elves that unmade the power of the Ring: it was the hobbits, in their unassuming frailty, who brought about the downfall of Sauron. Though we may feel small, remember Frodo and take heart; never resign yourself to despair.

Pretty wild to go from “caught up” to 400 unread queries in a month! And that’s despite already reading and replying to probably 200. You all are prolific! Thx for your patience.

Hello Writing Community! We are delighted to announce our First Official Bluesky *** #MSWL Day *** February 12, 2025. 🎉🎉🎉 Agents + editors can post what they ✨wish✨ they had in their inboxes; writers can find their next best fit for querying. Learn more here: manuscriptwishlist.com/the-next-off...

If you're an unagented writer or author/illustrator of picture books, I hope you'll enter the 2025 #PBParty contest. It has helped make so many agent and editor matches in the past...and we can't wait to see the magical matches that will happen this year. mindyalyseweiss.com/2025-pbparty...

Dunham Literary is open for queries. Please find information about how to submit on our agency website: www.dunhamlit.com/how-to-submit

I am officially caught up on queries and have read all manuscripts requested before September. If you think your email may have missed me, send me a msg!

Happy Jolabokaflod and Merry Christmas Eve! I’m finally giving Emily Henry a try tonight. What are you reading?

Merry (and Pippin) Christmas to all who celebrate! 🌲

on the twelve days of Christmas, my true love gave to me: 12 at the council [of Elrond] 11 pipes for smoking 10 Dúnedain 9 in the Fellowship 8 elven cloaks 7 palantíri 6 months to Mordor 5 Istari! 4 little hobbits 3 Silmarils 2 towers and the 1 Ring to rule them all!

I’m nearly caught up on queries, and if you haven’t heard from me it’s because I’m having a terrible time being just one person with so many potential gems to consider! I hate saying no, but there are only so many hours in a day and there’s so much talent in the #writingcommunity! #amagenting

Get those queries in! And watch for updates at www.dunhamlit.com

It’s such an honor to be on Mary Ann’s team! Can’t wait to see her books on shelves!
