It will leave you speechless.

It's true, I'm back open! querytracker.net/query/1731

Looking back at the stories the Bulletin covered in Disruptive Tech in 2025, the pattern of how large tech companies with enormous power have permeated nearly every bit of contemporary life can be seen in clear ink. Here are five pieces that explore this phenomenon. thebulletin.org/2025/12/a-ye...

Excellent interview with Danya Kukafka about her writing process, particularly how Notes on an Execution evolved. Yes, evolved--novels, especially great ones can take a LONG time to get there. Keep going! podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/i...

#writers looking for agents. You don't have to 'know' someone. I've signed clients from Querymanager and sold their books. Here's a great example--Tamara L. Miller (Into the Fall, Thomas & Mercer 2025) talks about her experience on David Gwyn's Thriller 101 podcast. thriller101.com/tamar…

Wahoo for debut authors!!!! Congratulations, @tfmkevin.bsky.social 🥳 cc: Ballantine, Penguin Random House, Aevitas Creative Managment.

#writers I opened back up to queries and some people have questioned whether I'm using an algorithm because I respond quickly--nope. I read every query myself and I know what I'm looking for, so yes, I can be fast. I respect every writer who submits. Keep going. I'm rooting for you all. 💪📚

Back open to queries, mswl included. querytracker.net/query/QueryL...

Hey, everyone! I'll be talking to @pipelineartists.bsky.social about the importance of the first 50 pages of your manuscript and how to make them shine on July 23rd, sign up here, and get a copy of my Quick & Dirty Guide to: Editing!

I don’t know how else to explain this…if you’re cheering for someone else’s rights to be taken away, you’re cheering for your own to disappear too. This isn’t cake. You don’t get more by refusing to share. Either everyone has rights, or no one really does. Thats it. It’s simple.

Coming up in June! 6/18, I'll be at Thrillerfest in NYC talking getting an agent today with @cbuccibookman.bsky.social, and taking pitches at Pitchfest, 6/18. On 6/21, catch me online talking query letters www.eventbrite.com/e/query-lett...

This is 4-8% of my budget. We'll survive. But we are all going to have to buy more books and support the institutions we want to keep around for the next four years.

Many small presses are nonprofits and you can directly support their work by making a recurring tax deductible donation. (Ours is www.hubcity.org/support)

Two years in a row. @marythor.bsky.social is working on a novel too! 😍

Coming '26! Mary Thorson's powerfully feminist short stories inspired by true crime. I've been a fan since stumbling on a shoutout to her latest short story on social media. And she's working on a novel! Congrats, @marythor.bsky.social !!!! And nice to work with you Rock and a Hard Place Press!

It's been a tough week at the agency. Esmond was a wonderful mentor. www.thetimes.com/uk/obituarie...

Ever tried in-person writing meetups? Local writing groups connect you with like-minded writers and help you carve out dedicated writing time. Even if feedback isn’t built into the program, you can potentially find critique partners there. Here’s where to look. ⬇️

Writers! Open to queries. (Still finishing some fulls but queries are open!) querytracker.net/query/QueryL...

if the government is willing to disappear immigrants for their writing, they’re willing to do the same to citizens.

Writers! I am opening up for queries NEXT WEEK 4/3 and should be open for a month or so. If you have a query from me prior to 2/19, you'll hear from me before I reopen. querytracker.net/query/1731

#Writers I'm closed to queries for a bit--will reopen in a March/April. 📚

always a great day for some angry feminist flash fiction

oh look! a photo of my face to let you know that I'm looking forward to meeting some wonderful writers at the @ncwritersnetwork.bsky.social spring conference in Asheville this May & now is the perfect time to sign up: www.ncwriters.org/programs/con...

Now more than ever, we need to read your stories. Hit send. www.sistersincrime.org/page/Eleanor...

Here is a script you can use for any issue. Find your reps' # at reps.fyi or 5calls.org. Every time you see a news story that horrifies you: call, or something else about it. It matters to say what you believe. You are setting a norm.

Also for #mswl 2025 day, please check out my detailed mswl in my query form--some helpful info there too for writers. Deepest admiration to all you #writers who help us cope with the world today through helping readers escape or understand the crazy world we live in! 💪📚🙌 querytracker.net/query/1731
