After far, far too long, I am finally reopening to queries on May 1st! I'm so excited (and a little scared. But mostly excited)! I'm going to share my biggest wish list items below, but please visit my website to learn more about me generally to see if I'd be a fit. Ok, #MSWL thread incoming:

I ADORED the Ranger's Apprentice series as a kid. I used to order the Australian editions for what felt like a bazillion dollars because the US editions were too far behind. John Flanagan and Terry Pratchett made my love of fantasy what it is today 🏹🐎⚔️💕 www.publishersweekly.com/pw/by-topic/...

Well if that doesn't neatly sum it all up in one sprawling sentence. #bm100

Today, I am matching donations to any org in this list, up to $1000. Reply here or DM me with receipt. www.standwithminnesota.com

The rent is due and our immigrant neighbors are unable to make it due to this ICE occupation. Please help by contributing to a mutual aid fund. I’m supporting the greater Longfellow relief fund today: tr.ee/6iwI_i-B92

Once in a lifetime opportunity for an aspiring picture book author! Want your pb to be considered at Sourcebooks executive editor Manlove's editorial meeting? Melissa & I are offering a critique & Skip-the-Slush-Pile pass in the Publishing for Minnesota fundraiser! www.32auctions.com/organization...

I’m so thankful for this auction helping my home during a horrific time. I would love to read your picture book manuscript and then chat with you about it and whatever else you like! Happening now through EOD Friday! Plus there’re a billion other amazing items! www.32auctions.com/publishingforMN

This kicks off on Wednesday. So many amazing opportunities here, with plans to do some good. Let’s get to work. 💪🏽 www.32auctions.com/publishingfo...

Protesters chanting "We're not cold, we're not afraid, Minne[apolis/sota] taught us to be brave" in Boston tonight outside Government Center station.

Nice change of pace to cry good, proud tears

On a downtown street in Minneapolis, as people stream out from the massive march, Mary Tyler Moore says “fuck ice.”

Hollllly moly, when it turns the corner. That is a lot of people.

✊

Shout-out to everyone who's tired as fuck of only seeing the first four lines of this poem shared around.

Minneapolis.

I'll be at the Atlanta Writers Conference May 1-2! Fellow agents have been talking this conference up to me for years and I'm so excited I can finally go! I still have slots open for manuscript sample critiques and query letter pitches - I can't wait to see your work 📝😎 atlantawritersconference.com

It was so fun being on Writers With Wrinkles!! And my episode is kicking off a new season and a new year 😶 eek no pressure! I hope y'all enjoy our chat about connecting with peers and the hurdles your pages have to clear and the thing I'm looking for when I (eventually) reopen to queries

I'm over the moon to be working with @seeyasofia.bsky.social! I saw her art at Autoptic in 2024 and fell in love with the warmth of her colors, her paneling, and her bite-sized stories. 1.5 years later, she's working on a not-so-bite-sized graphic novel and its AWESOME. 2026 is looking bright! 🎉

Authors, Beware! There's a firm called "ClaimsHero" doing aggressive social media outreach claiming to "help" you file to get $ in the Anthropic class action. In fact, it's a bait-and-switch, they are luring authors to sign up with them, then OPTING THEM OUT of the class action so they'll get zilch.

THE CITY WE BECAME was literally my first thought when I saw this table

Frey won 😡😭

🎶🎵 GOOD FUCK'N MORNING, BLUESKY!!! 🎵🎶 💃🕺💃🕺

Mamdani!!!!! YESSSSS!! Mayor of Minneapolis likely won’t be decided tonight though SO THE ANXIETY CONTINUES

I have half a bottle of prosecco in my fridge leftover from a brunch and I'd really like to toast it to Fateh (or at a minimum not Frey) and Mamdani tonight!! Come on Minneapolis and NYC!

I think I want to do an #askagent later this week. Like #amquerying folks can ask publishing /querying/writing etc questions and I'll answer as best I can. I know I used to see those a lot on twitter but I don't seem too often here. Would that be something people are interested in? ☺️

Still looking for a job and would love love love to run virtual writing workshops for a writing organization, which i have 12 years experience doing! Open to other opportunities that wouldn't require me to quit agenting though!

Psst! I am opening up to unagented children's book submissions *just for the month of October*! This is an exciting experiment. The email to send submissions to is [email protected]. You can find out about what I'm looking for at www.manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/me...

DVpit #querying Tip: As you scroll the feed make note of which agents like pitches in similar categories/genres as yours & add them to your general querying list! The feed is so busy, they might've missed yours, but if they're liking similar stories that means it's something they want in their inbox

Hello #DVpit! I'm so glad you're back!! I'm closed to regular queries to keep catching up on past requests, but I can't resist jumping into pitches today! If I like your pitch and you want to share your material with me, please use this event-specific link to query: querytracker.net/query/erinca...

"In an earlier post, she wrote: "As for the inevitable death, if I die, I want a loud death, I don't want me in a breaking news story, nor in a number with a group, I want a death that is heard by the world, a trace that lasts forever, and immortal images that neither time nor place can bury."

Stay tuned... #DVPit #writersky #booksky

Happy book birthday to I Know the Whale by @robinyardi.bsky.social and @mattschu.bsky.social, published by Little Bee! I love this book about the wonder and beauty in nature, in death, in all of us so so much ❤️🐋

"Is it dead?” a kid asks… I’ve heard this question many times from kids on field trips to the Santa Barbara Museum of Natural History where it was my task to answer them. Today, this book, illustrated by @mattschu.bsky.social and published by Little Bee, hopes to honor their question honestly. 🐋

Hey #kidlit illustrators! I’m looking for samples of cute, cozy (Cozy? Yes, cozy), anthropomorphic, vehicles for a new board book. Please respond with relevant samples. Please no DMs. 💙❤️ #kidlitart

I'm closed to queries but I'll put this out into the world for when I reopen - in honor of the Barkley Marathon going on currently, which I'm obsessively checking updates on, #MSWL for a MG or YA inspired by the Barkley! Or any other extreme outdoors/survival competition!

This elderly man showed up to support an anti-trans bill in my home state and then, because he had to wait hours to testify, he was stuck listening to queer folks rally against it By the time it was his turn to speak, he'd changed his mind Never doubt that speaking out can change hearts and minds

Happy book birthday to Coral Keepers: Search for the Silver Shell by @robinyardi.bsky.social and Paul Kellam!!!! Visited the real live book at @moonpalacebooks.bsky.social - what a great day! 🧜‍♀️🦈✨🐚
