Great info… ❤️

So excited to have my story featured in this anthology! 🌊💙

Excellent explanation... ❤️

Independent Bookstore Day with these awesome critique partners = story-filled magic! ❤️📚

#KidLit fundraiser auction -- opportunities for critiques, AMA, or feedback on queries, as well as other classroom visits and signed book 📚 Ends April 30th

Oooh this sounds like a great resource for #kidlit and #kidlitart. Thanks @100scopenotes.bsky.social!

If you've submitted something to the Second Chance Inbox and received this message when querying me with that same project, feel free to reattempt when I reopen next month. I've adjusted the pre-qualifications for my query inbox.

Ooh, this looks awesome... ❤️

✨📚Feeling inspired after the Ink and Agave Picture Book Retreat! Learned from these amazing professionals and connected with talented writers. My heart (and notebook) are full! 💛@diannewrites.bsky.social @jackiekruzie.bsky.social #kidlit #picturebooks

Signed my first writing contract! My story will be published in the @wildinkpublishing.bsky.social water anthology! The GIF is a hint at the topic...🌊

Hey friends! I’m gonna run another query and first page workshop, as I plan for our summer of events. These help fund those endeavors. Details here! Help me help you! ☺️ www.ericsmithrocks.com/blog/2026/4/...

The 3rd #kidlit4ceasefire is still going! You have another day or two to get your bids in on a ton of awesome items (including two critiques from yours truly). www.32auctions.com/KidLit4Cease...

Happy to see my spring haiku in The Dirigible Balloon! 🎈 ✨ #kidlit

At a writing conference today, so my annual reminder. If you book time to chat with editors or agents, and you’re pitching your work… just read your query. Don’t try to memorize things and put that extra pressure on yourself. It’s not an audition for a play, my friends.

My favorite weekend of the year at the Tucson Festival of Books! 📚 Even Olaf loves stories! ☃️ #kidlit

Interesting... ❤️

Love this advice… ❤️

💔🖋️ UPCOMING WEBINAR 🖋️💔 TRF agent #JesTrudel is hosting #Query Unrequited: Why I Didn't Fall in Love with Your Submission, a live webinar offering an honest, behind-the-scenes look at real queries and why they were rejected. 🔗 Register at WritingCommunity.ca

Excellent suggestions… ❤️

So helpful… ❤️

Open to queries! We’ve transitioned to Query Manager and are no longer accepting email queries. More info here: www.dunhamlit.com/how-to-submit #opentoqueries #literaryagent #amagenting

Such an opportunity… ❤️

Hey #amquerying fam, I will be opening up to queries tomorrow!😱 I have an updated MSWL here: www.manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/mo...

Good point… ❤️

Love this idea... ❤️

I’ve donated a query and first 5 page critique to the People of Color in Publishing auction! Feel free to bid here: peoplecolorpublishing.betterworld.org/auctions/poc...

This nice post is about me (nobody was paid to write it!!!) - anyway it’s all true, I do dole out publishing advice on the tumblr. If you want to ask questions that’s great, but I beg you to look at the FAQ first — after a decade, many of them have been asked many times! 😘

What does working with a literary agent look like? I just posted a few insights on my website: writingcommunity.ca/what-working... #writingcommunity #amquerying #writers

GREAT explanation... ❤️

Sounds GREAT... ❤️

Such a good point... ❤️

Writing is 10% words and 90% deciding which words don’t belong.

Love hearing this… ❤️

I'm now open to queries at querytracker.net/query/Michel... !! Do not send queries to my email as they will be deleted. I'm open until 10 pm EST on November 7th, accepting all Middle Grade and Young Adult. Also accepting Adult Mystery, Fantasy, Romantasy, Science Fiction and Horror.

Querying writers -- Please give yourselves some grace and stop fretting about a few silly typos in your queries. We probably won't notice them, we're not going to hold them against you, and if we DO hold them against you, you don't want to work with us anyway.

Even the title makes me smile!

Writers, mark your calendars! ✍️ TRF agent Jennifer Chevais will take one-on-one pitches at the online #2025SeattleWritingWorkshop. This is your chance to connect directly with an agent and share your project from anywhere in the world. Register here: theseattlewritingworkshop.com

CONGRATS to all... 🧡🧡🧡
