if you say the words “wow I have a busy couple of weeks ahead of me”, even in your own head, every single one of your current Libby holds will descend upon you all at once like wolves on a limping deer

Writers! I will be closing to queries on October 1. I've fallen too far behind and need time to focus on client reading and getting through the material I've requested already. Thanks for your patience! Please remember that I respond to everyone, even if it might take me longer right now. 💚

Hello. Just checking - are you clenching your jaw? Just realised mine was probably tight enough to crack teeth. Don't be me!

Ok but seriously, folks - what is up with this?? Why am I seeing so many queries sent "on behalf of" the writer, by some service? What are you paying these people? And why?? QUERYING IS FREE

QUERY UPDATE: I've now responded to all queries received through May 1. If I've requested your partial MS, it's still under consideration, and I appreciate your patience!

NEW YORK, HAVE YOU VOTED YET????

Hey writers, a few query reminders for you! #amquerying 1. I don't represent picture books. We have many fabulous agents who do, so I recommend checking them out instead! 2. Currently, I'm not representing memoir, so probably best to try someone else for that as well.

Hi New York City! Polls are officially open for early voting in the Dem mayoral primary and Election Day is June 24! Please rank Zohran #1 on your ballot ... and don't rank Cuomo at all!!! ✊💙🗳️

All weekend this has been in my head and if it wasn’t in yours before, I’m sorry that it is now.

My local coffee shop is not playing around.

Shoutout to New Girl for making sure I knew the chemical symbol for tin at trivia tonight!

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is a once-in-a-generation leader who has led the fight for working people in Congress. In 2018, she shocked the world and transformed our politics. On June 24, with @aoc.bsky.social’s support and this movement behind us, we will do the same.

As NYWFP works to consolidate support around its slate of candidates, we're proud to rank @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social #1 🥳 To give voters clear guidance, we're ranking a full slate of 5 candidates. When we unite, we can defeat Cuomo & elect a mayor who fights for us. Let's get this done!

Hello Brooklyn! I found this guy on the street yelling to come inside just before midnight tonight. Black cat, blue patterned collar. Does anyone know who he might belong to? He’s so friendly, he’s clearly very loved! (Or maybe she, I’m not sure.)

Hey, did you know there's an alternative to ChatGPT that makes sense economically and doesn't destroy the environment? It's called English majors and they will happily fix all of your documents for the low price of health insurance and a living wage.

Hey, everyone! There'll be a new book from Andrea Beatriz Arango next summer! @randomhousekids.bsky.social

Everything’s a scam but this what a publishing scam email looks like.

I have tariffed the penguins that are on Heard Island and which you were probably assuming did not export goods forgive me they were taking advantage of us so cunning and so cold

Hi writers!!! I heard it was #MSWL day! You can find my most recent thread here. 😁

the very nice person who answered the phone sounded just delighted to put me on the "positive callers list." (first name only, no details requested!) perhaps you want to hang out there too?

we hold these truths to be self-evident: TRANS RIGHTS ARE HUMAN RIGHTS. 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️ GENDER AFFIRMING CARE SAVES LIVES. 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️ FASCISTS CAN FUCK OFF INTO THE SUN. 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️

The looters I want to talk about are the ones who stole our safe and stable climate from us. Millennia of planetary harm for individuals' profit. They set the fires.

Happy New Year's Eve, writers! I'll open to queries on 1/1, which is TOMORROW!!! 🥳 That means it's time for a new #MSWL thread!

I thought you should know that in 2024 New Jersey, Minnesota, Illinois, California, and Maryland have all enacted legislation that bans book bans & censorship in both, school and public libraries, and protects librarians.

For, um, absolutely NO reason at all… I’d like to recommend CAKE EATER by Allyson Dahlin, in which the First Estate is business owners. Nothing like our world at all…. 👀🧁 bookshop.org/p/books/cake...

An important reminder: we don't have time to lie about wanting to see your next work. If an agent asks to see future projects, they mean it!
