We're hiring an assistant to join us in our San Diego office. Looking for someone who's interested in supporting the infrastructure and inner workings of a literary agency. Please share in your circles!

I looked at this list again to see if there was anything I wanted to add to it or my #MSWL (there was! I added one new item to the "cravings" page and linked to that page and the "likes" page on my general MSWL)...and what I wouldn't do for stories that hit one or more of these things 🙏🙏🙏

Would loveeee to see a YA query in my inbox that features a group of kids similar to the squad in Attack the Block or Bottoms. Totally different genres, but someone out there has to be reading this and going, "Yeah, I get it. I get the vibes you're looking for." 🙏

Happy #MSWL day, writers! I rep MG, YA, and adult and am open to contemporary, historical, fantasy, sci-fi, speculative, and horror. I'm a BIG graphic novel person and I also do nonfiction as well! You can see my wish list & submission guidelines here: manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/ja...

Yvonne is talented and hilarious! I haven't laughed out loud reading something in ages, but her @shortboxcomicsfair.bsky.social comic about a cat who joins a mediocre middle school boys' basketball team SENT me so I immediately reached out to her. Can't wait for everyone to meet Butter Beans! 🐈🐾🏀

When you see how many people are out today for the strike in Minneapolis, remember that this is the temperature

"Slavery was real" Tiny sign at the base of a brick wall that, until yesterday, held panels about the people enslaved by George Washington. Presidents House, Philadelphia.

Many Americans, who like to walk around with large guns, have spent countless decades posturing about standing up to tyranny. Yet when it comes, they’re actually the agents terrorizing neighborhoods. While the courageous ones are scared regular people who are finding power through each other.

“She tells us in Spanish that migrants can’t use corporate rideshare services because there have been reports of Uber drivers taking people directly to ICE.” A country of snitches. www.nplusonemag.com/online-only/...

This is one of the most insane protests I've ever been to. Tens of thousands of Minnesotans in -20°F (-28°C) cold with absolutely manic energy. We are going to throw these goddamn bastards out of our cities.

Another question I came here with was: how effective are the whistles and honking? Does it stop abductions? And the answer is, surprisingly to my cynical self, yes, and often. I have talked to so many people who have successfully interrupted kidnappings.

My loose info so far is that the Minneapolis General Strike today had about 80 unions sign on, and it might be one of the biggest labor actions in decades depending on your definition

Solidarity with Minnesota. An attack on one is an attack on all. #ICEOUT

Gotta remind yourself not to cry when you see the kid's signs. It's negative -25°F and tears are dangerous. "LEAVE MY FRIENDS ALONE!" "ICE GIT OUT YA FUCKIN DUMBIES 😡"

If the admin's strategic goal was to break public resistance to immigration enforcement activities, it was a tactical mistake to go to the Twin Cities.

Fucking incredible.

The 5-year-old arrested by ICE In Minnesota is detained at Dilley. We reported on conditions there in the below article. Parents said the food was contaminated with mold and worms & that children were so under so much stress that they were hitting their own faces & wetting themselves.

I've talked to people on the ground about the strike here tomorrow, and the single thing everyone brings up is just how shockingly wide the support for the strike is. Businesses that no one would have expected to support it are doing so.

So stoked to share this with the world! HOUSE HUNTERS resonated with me—and all the editors who saw the project—because we've all suffered the struggle of finding a place to live. Kelly is unbelievably talented, and HH is both dark AND funny with vibrant, energetic art that'll suck you in! 🥊💥

Since it's the start of a new year and I'm sure many writers have set finishing books and querying as a New Year's resolution, I wanted to say that I'm open to queries! Looking for middle grade, YA, and adult fiction, select nonfiction, and graphic novels. #amwriting #amquerying

Yup. If you’re wearing an “I Voted” sticker, they’ll pass over you like it’s the blood of the lamb

This is literally what they do whenever a Black person is killed by police. No matter how solid the evidence is, they will keep pushing that lie, not just to poison the conversation and make sure the killer walks free, but to reassert the political idea that these people deserve to be killed.

Two queer women with a 6 year old in school today stopped to film ICE and for their bravery ICE agents murdered one before the other’s eyes. The grief in the survivor’s voice is a knife to the gut. Destroying people and their bonds is what ICE has always done.

"Renee was one of the kindest people I’ve ever known,” her mother said. “She was extremely compassionate. She’s taken care of people all her life. She was loving, forgiving and affectionate. She was an amazing human being.” www.startribune.com/she-was-an-a...

Bravest motherfuckers you've ever seen. They just saw a neighbor get murdered and still out there. Maybe let's see some local officials with the power to arrest show as much backbone as these voters PAYING YOUR FUCKING SALARY

ICE also shot and killed an unarmed 38-year-old in Illinois in September and lied about what happened

I'm starting off the new year by meeting writers one-on-one through the Writing Day Workshop! Sign up for a virtual pitch session with me on February 7 and tell me all about your book. 😊

The Nobel Prize committee should announce the World Cup winner tomorrow

I wrote about Infantino’s love of despots years ago but that peace prize is such a shameless example of what he is and what he wants to do with the sport www.instagram.com/stories/zeet...

i would say this applies to FIFA as a whole, but somehow they outdid themselves with this

cannot believe we live in a timeline where i'm looking at sepp blatter of all people and thinking "damn, and i thought blatter was bad." but here we are with infantino. such a loathsome, spineless, simpering ant of a man

A 6-year-old boy is missing after ICE arrested him and his dad in NYC last week and shipped them off to separate facilities. www.thecity.nyc/2025/12/02/i... @thecity.nyc @gwynnefitz.bsky.social

STILL MISSING!! The first grader has been separated from his dad for almost a week, following ICE abducting them for the third time this year! ICE refuses to disclose the 6 yr old’s location. WHERE IS YUANXIN? Call your Reps & ask them to pressure ICE/DHS to reunite Fei & Yuanxin & release them!

Get your copy of TIGER, TIGER book one! ❤️ Trust me, it'll be one of the best comics you've ever read.

“We won because we insisted that politics is no longer something that is done to us. Now it is something we do.” Every single word of this Mamdani speech is fucking fire.
