If you think your manuscript is difficult to market right now, don’t note that in your query letter. Why? Well, it’s my job to know the market. More importantly, if you do this, you’re leading with a reason for me to pass. I know this may be uncomfortable for some, but you’ve gotta sell it.

Check out my #MSWL here: manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/si..., and submission guidelines here: inkwellmanagement.com/contact/! no ai stuff pls.

Note to those new to Manuscript Wishlist Day: The purpose of #MSWL is to give writers an idea of the *kinds* of books agents are looking for. If your ms has a similar tone, theme, genre, etc., then that agent/editor might love your story too. #MSWL tweets are examples, not the only things we want.

Hello Writing Community! We are delighted to announce our Second Official Bluesky *** #MSWL Day *** February 26, 2026. 🎉🎉🎉 Agents + editors can post what they ✨wish✨ they had in their inboxes; writers can find their next best fit for querying. Learn more: manuscriptwishlist.com/2025/01/the-...

My query inbox reopened today! I'm not quite to inbox zero like I'd hoped, but I have either passed or requested additional material for every query I received prior to closing my inbox at the end of October 2025. If you queried me and haven't heard back, follow up over email or QueryTracker. 🧵/

The world is only getting crazier by the day, and sometimes you wonder if its better to eat your feelings or write them...

There's a lot going around about how editors don't want books by/for marginalized communities anymore because of fear of the current administration. It sucks. It's happening. But here's what you can do about it. www.agentsandbooks.com/what-if-edit...

Mid-January, feels the world is waking up now lol.

I'm seeing a lot of queries with bolded lettering and I am here to tell you that it is not standard to query letters.

Hi there. Isn't it interesting how the most popular TV shows and movies this year (Sinners, Kpop Demon Hunters, and Heated Rivalry) were all hyper specific stories, proving that "universal appeal" (i.e. appealing to white straight folks) is not actually that appealing?

Lots of folks in publishing are returning to make the books tomorrow, so just a reminder to treat industry people like people in the New Year. Everyone is just trying their best. ❤️

Agent friends! My first read of the year was Tasha Suri's THE ISLE IN THE SILVER SEA, and I loved it! If you have any YA projects with similar elements (lady knights, sapphic yearning, time loops, stories about stories, did I mention sapphic yearning??), please please send them my way! #MSWL

As a neurodivergent person, it takes a while to find the right people. The more you mask, the slower that process is, says Kate Rolfe in an interview on her latest picture book, Owl and Moon 👇 #BookSky
