I loved this novel.

This book is actually a horror memoir

And here’s a designed MSWL to help better visualize what I’m looking for! Follow me on Instagram @marintakikawa for more updates! 🌟💜💖 (1/2)

I'm late for #MSWL day but better late than never? 👀 I represent YA and adult across literary, upmarket, and speculative spaces, and am hungry to find my next obsession that I just can't put down! (1/4)

I'll be talking about comp titles with Writers' League Texas this Saturday--hope to see you there! writersleague.org/calendar/202...

PLEASE don’t buy into Amazon’s booksale this week. They are intentionally trying to eat into profits from Indie Bookstore Day this weekend, a really important annual event for our important community institutions. Check out your local fave or bookshop.org.

me to the united states: this could be us but you playin’

If you, like me and everyone else I know, haven't planned out your #AWP schedule yet, can I interest you in this Saturday morning panel where five agents yap about what a #MSWL is and why it matters? @minahamedi.bsky.social @nedlovesbooks.bsky.social @marintakikawa.bsky.social @mwhatnall.bsky.social

I made this the other night while procrastinating, mainly because I thought all the posts about the blackout were boring. It feels like there is momentum bringing people together!

I see so many posts that are like “wouldn’t it be cool if we had a space for —“ or “someone should really set up—“ and then proceed to describe the role of a public library. Reach out to your library with these suggestions.

Happy #MSWL day! some specific shoutouts: - voice! voice! voice! anything voice-driven with some kind of social lens (YA/adult) - a literary love story a la PAST LIVES (A24) and FIRST LOVE (Netflix) my general wishlist remains the same so please do check it out!

This is how you do it. Thank you, @tupelopress.bsky.social!!!

A quick hit from me after the protests over the last week, despite all the claims that people were too exhausted to protest and were sitting Trump II out. It's true, much of the Trump "resistance" appeared to have gone home when Biden was elected. But plenty of people never left the fight:

i will cry (in a good way) if this actually ripples throughout the industry!

So 97% of @NYMagUnion members--including me!-- just signed a pledge to walk out of work if we don’t get a fair contract from @VoxMedia. If you love @NYMag, sign our solidarity pledge to support us in the event of a walkout: nymagunion.org/reader-pledge

Feel like my new thing will be to collect all these acts of resistance from ordinary people and send them to my Dem reps with the note, “More like this please.”

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...

We’d especially appreciate bulk donations *already in the LA area* — the ones you left in storage since 2022, that warehouse you’ve been meaning to deal with, that kinda thing. We have mask orders being mailed, but we need masks on faces NOW, faster than next week delivery

I'm finally making the switch to Query Manager! I've hated not being able to respond due to the sheer volume... so my hope is that by switching, I'll be able to be more responsive to people with all of QM's great features! (1/2)

Reading makes you live longer.

counting down the days till holiday break, but also really excited to read for fun...! anyone have recs? this year i loved reading ALL MY RAGE, THE WEDDING PEOPLE (one of TFA's!), GENDER QUEER—in the mood for (realistic) joy and on the opposite end, something gritty, transporting, and propulsive!

🤍🤍🤍

i literally will not shut up about this book! it's going to be one of THE BEST debuts to come. if you love Kazuo Ishiguro's NEVER LET ME GO or are a fan of genre-blending genius that's inventive, beautifully human, and WILL make you cry at the end, this truly is a book you NEED to have

i'm here i'm here! but for any writers wanting to query me, i ask that you please wait until January'25! 🙇‍♀️
