Hi #amquerying crowd! I just wanted to thank everyone for their patience--I am now reading September queries. If you sent before then and haven't heard back, it's because you're in my Maybe pile to go back and take another look at! 🧵

KidLit publishing and publishing in general feels so hard right now. I know there are days when the urge to throw in the towel is strong. Please don't. Your work matters. There is someone out there who will be changed by your book. Take that small step today. You have no idea how close you are.

Episode 341C is here! Alexandra Kennington chatted with us about BLOOD BENEATH THE SNOW, a hot new Romantasy set in a cold climate that will leave you thirsty for the next installment. @akenningtonwrites.bsky.social @prhlibrary.bsky.social turnthepage.blubrry.net/2025/03/13/t...

**Attention #amquerying writers: It has been brought to our attention that someone has been sending fraudulent emails impersonating Spencerhill Agents. Spencerhill does not send out email solicitations and we do not charge for any editorial or consultation services**

Exciting client things 🤗✨

Hi, just casually putting this out there, but please do not send queries to my day job email. I don’t accept queries via my Spencerhill email, either—only QueryManager, and I am currently closed to unsolicited submissions. Thank you!

Any editors looking for MG cozy light fantasy? Let me know!

Getting ready to send this one out—editors, let me know if you want to see this in your inbox!

Hello Writing Community! We are delighted to announce our First Official Bluesky *** #MSWL Day *** February 12, 2025. 🎉🎉🎉 Agents + editors can post what they ✨wish✨ they had in their inboxes; writers can find their next best fit for querying. Learn more here: manuscriptwishlist.com/the-next-off...

Omg signed copies!! You can preorder my book through my amazing local indie and I’ll sign & personalize it for you 🫶 Know that the consequences of asking me to doodle in your book will be catastrophic (I have no art skills!!) but I will if you ask bc preordering earns my undying loyalty 💕

A million percent this. But it’s wise to be mindful of what we’re seeing. MG got REALLY long when we know attention spans were impacted by COVID. I think it tipped a bit earnest. Remember the kids who want to just have fun, too. Write the book of your heart, but don’t forget the reader.

#KidLitTip #1. Everyone says middle grade novels aren't selling these days, but who cares? Editors are still buying them, + tons are working. Think about the great mid grade writers--Horvath, O'Connor, Medina, Yee, Applegate. In 2 years Mid grade will be hot again. It's cyclical. Just keep writing.

Blind Book Dates for the holidays are in my little shop now ❤️📚 More info/shop page: vncreations.myshopify.com Shares are very appreciated 🥰 #booksky

Great encouragement here for MG authors—and yep that was me the editor giving the “slow burn” speech! Proof here of its truth! teenlibrariantoolbox.com/2024/11/20/s...

I forgot the preorder link I AM SORRY HERE IT IS tr.ee/NyckiXp5JK

I'm teaching a Queries 101 workshop this Sunday, free to all BIPOC, queer, disabled, and marginalized folks. Everyone else can attend with a small fee! 1 hour workshop on queries for novels + 30 minute Q&A. Please share www.eventbrite.com/e/queries-10...

Just a reminder: I am closed to queries until next year and am currently making my way through all the queries in my inbox (all 1700 of them 😅). I appreciate your patience so much and please know everyone will receive a response!

So after switching computers earlier this year and forgetting I had this account…I’m back!

Update: I'm still currently closed to queries but will be opening soon. Stay on the lookout for a new MSWL! For anyone that has a partial or full with me, if you haven't heard from me that means I'm still considering your work! I appreciate your patience so much, and you'll hear from me soon!

🌟New blog post! I have 3 bookish projects this holiday season, including getting Project Midnight on sub 👀🔥 please wish me luck! #writingcommunity t.co/cx1isMBzWv

My husband made me watch the Clone Wars series and, even though I've seen the movies, I was NOT prepared for the feels in those last two episodes

This week, many authors discovered that their books were used without permission to train AI systems, raising concerns about copyright, compensation, and implications for the future of the writing profession. Here’s what you need to know if your books are in this dataset.

An update for querying writers: I plan on closing to submissions after this week (October 1 = closed) so I can catch up on all the wonderful things in my inbox! So excited to read all of your amazing stories :)

I know I'm still a little jet lagged, but how is it already Friday?

Just a heads up: I'll be out of the office on vacation for the next two weeks and will probably be closing my inbox soon after I get back to catch up. If you have something with me right now, please know you'll hear back from me soon! In the meantime, I appreciate your patience :)

It goes like this, the fourth, the fifth did you work on your synopsis?

remember to give ur cats extra kissies today!

How many books does one bring on vacation...

Just me trying to figure out another social media app!
