Reading a YA anthology is hard because there are a few short stories I would absolutely love a full book for. Yes, they’re also perfect short stories, but I’m obsessed with the characters and want more 😩

I just saw “Newsies” for the first time on stage and it reminded how much I would’ve loved to play Katherine. I’m an okay singer but I can’t tap dance. Other dream roles include Cosette in “Les Mis,” Sophie in “Mamma Mia,” and a Council Member (if I could dance like I used to) in “Hairspray.”

Hi #cupit 👋🏻 If I like your tweet please query me! Submission guidelines are in my pinned thread.

AI could never do what an actual human writer does. AI could never do what I do as an editor and agent. And AI could absolutely never do what artists do.

Being in a pseudo-reading slump is rough. I’ve read some new books I’ve been extremely excited about, but I’ve also reread eleven books since the start of the year.

Happy February! I’m still open to queries! Reposting my MSWL and the thread of some of my dream #MSWL items again. Yes, this thread is repeated and I don’t care. I look forward to reviewing all your submissions! www.manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/re...

How you can support resistance efforts in Minneapolis through literary activism. That, plus this week's book censorship news: bookriot.com/supporting-m...

ICE has killed 9 folks in the first 26 days of ‘26: • Alex Pretti • Renee Good • Keith Porter • Heber Sanchaz Domínguez • Victor Manuel Diaz • Parady La • Luis Beltran Yanez-Cruz • Luis Gustavo Nunez Caceres • Geraldo Lunas Campos They all deserve justice. And for us to remember their names.

As we grieve for Alex Pretti and Renee Good in MN, please do not forget Victor Manuel Diaz, who died in ICE custody after being taken from here. And all others who have died in their custody.

Alex Pretti was an American hero. He saved lives. He protected people. He cared deeply about his community, unlike the murderous thugs who killed him. The very last thing he did was try to help a woman who had been pepper-sprayed and violently shoved to the ground by ICE. 1/

From this moment forward (and before, but clearly now): -If you work for ICE. -If you vote for money for ICE. You are complicit. This is the gestapo. You're on the wrong side. You can't pretend not to know.

I am watching what is happening in Minneapolis on Ali Velshi and one of the ICE officers (off camera) literally says, “It’s like Call of Duty. Pretty cool huh?” as they shoot whatever it is they are shooting. Agents walking around, guns unholstered for no reason. This is insanity

A new Harry song last night with the full album forthcoming, the new full Louis album this morning after amazing singles, and teasers for new albums from Zayn and Niall 😻 As a Directioner I’m freaking out! My inner fangirl couldn’t be happier ❤️

A Black man named Keith Porter was shot and killed by an ICE officer on New Year’s Eve. Marimar Martinez was shot five times by an ICE officer in Chicago who went on to brag about leaving seven holes in her body. This is not new but it is expanding.

If your emotions to the ICE shooting in Minneapolis, Minnesota leaving a woman dead are overwhelm, shock, rage, and fear, you are not alone. The person killed in the Minneapolis, Minnesota ICE shooting is Renee Nicole Good ❤️‍🩹

So thankful I downloaded all my memories before Snapchat made you start paying, even though the Snapchat download has no chronological order to it. One day I’ll have to try and order them myself. But Snapchat has officially been deleted (in 30 days but same difference).

My 2025 Personal Reading Breakdown: PB count = 27 Rereads (first read b/w 2023-2025) = 15 Novellas/Mangas = 19 Books publishing in 2026 = 2 (“Soon by You” by Dahlia Adler and “Most Eligible” by Isabelle Engel)

Thinking about how this year has three of the best book adaptions—TSITP, PJO, and Heated Rivalry—I’ve seen. These shows prove how a creator can remain respectful to the book and its fans while making changes that enhance the story. (It’s Cottage Eve and a new PJO dropped today. My heart 😩)

This new IOS update did nothing but change things that didn’t need to be changed. It’s so frustrating.

Reposting because of the season 2 news for “Heated Rivalry” 🥹💙 when I say slow burn, I definitely mean emotional, like giggling and kicking your feet type feels. (Basically how I feel watching and/or reading both of these series 😻) #MSWL

Riding on a Gotham high finale 🦇 Champions 2025 🎉🖤

Solange Knowles’ Saint Heron has launched a free digital archival library of literature by Black and brown authors, poets, and artists. Readers can borrow rare and out-of-print books for up to 45 days

A powerful statement from brave women. These survivors deserve better.

There are random days when I have extremely vivid and very bizarre dreams. Usually I never remember dreams, but occasionally I’ll wake up with just enough sense to write the dream down. Today’s was one of the weirdest dreams (borderline nightmares) I’ve had in a long time.

No one can convince me that wired headphones aren’t the best.

Hooray! @authorsabb.bsky.social is *OFFICIALLY* a nonprofit, and is now open for donations! For the last two years we've been doing all this w free tools, or paying out of pocket, & we were STILL able to get SO MUCH DONE. Imagine what we could do with $$$ www.authorsagainstbookbans.com/donate/

Innocent people wouldn’t need to hold an emergency meeting to try to find a way to block the release of the Epstein Files

This is a bad deal, and the old way of doing things is clearly not working. We need new leaders in the Senate.

Still riding on a Gotham high 🦇🖤

Art is emotion through expression. AI does not think and it cannot feel. It is a program designed to scrounge the internet to pass things off as its own. All the while stealing jobs from real artists and soaking up drinking water.

#questpit If I like your pitch, please check out SFA guidelines. Thank you!

I can't keep the thread up, but suffice to say, PEOPLE VOTED TO PROTECT AND FUND LIBRARIES AND SO MANY SCHOOL BOARD ELECTIONS SUPPORTED PRO-EDUCATION, PRO-STUDENT CANDIDATES. People showed up. They didn't just buy banned books. They VOTED. And guess what? Voting made a difference.

Thank you NYC, Virginia, and NJ 🎉 Feeling so hopeful tonight 😸

We strongly condemn @CondéNast’s consolidation plans for Teen Vogue, a move that is clearly designed to blunt the award-winning magazine’s insightful journalism at a time when it is needed the most. More from our statement:

Update: I read four of the books. I was able to renew two of them. I lost the seventh and had to put it back on hold. With only fifteen holds left in various stages of suspension or waiting periods, will I be able to finish them all by the end of the year?

I just took my dance class in a little over 4.5 years 🎉 feeling so good that I didn’t suck even though it was jazz. Just wait till I’m back at hip hop 😸

Rewatching the Twilight Saga on TV in a hotel feels oddly nostalgic.

I mistimed my Libby holds. I have seven books to read within varying time periods all less than two weeks.

You can easily block the official MAGA government accounts here. Do not engage them. Do not give them what they want.

Reminding everyone that I’m also open to new adult submissions now! While Sheldon Fogelman Agency specializes in children’s books, I am very open to new adult and authors who write across all ages.

I was driving to the gym and “Found / Tonight” plays on my playlist just as the sun came out. Then I get to the gym and my Zumba class was canceled last minute.

I’m excited to participate in #DVpit tomorrow! If I like your pitch, follow the guidelines below and include DVPit in the subject. If I missed your pitch, check out my pinned MSWL thread to see if I’d be a good fit. Can’t wait to see everyone’s work! www.sheldonfogelmanagency.com/submissions....

All 12x12 authors should have received a response from me. If you haven’t, please email our submissions address and let me know.

This is your daily reminder to please check your spam folders.

Happy October! I wanted to share my #MSWL link again. SFA’s guidelines are below. This is also the start of a thread of specific wish list items I’d love to see in my inbox that I’ll add to when I think of other ideas. www.manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/re...

5/5 stars for “The Court of the Dead,” the latest book in the Percy Jackson World. (I also really appreciate the typo in the B&N extra content. Publishing professionals and authors are only human haha!) Late night reads are always a good time :)

“Maine Characters” by Hannah Orenstein is the perfect book as summer winds down. This one is definitely in my top two favorites of Hannah’s books, though I love them all. She is the first adult author I read outside of schoolwork, so she’ll always be an auto-buy author to me. Highly recommend!
