#MSWL: MG writers! ๐Ÿ“ฃ

Iโ€™ve reopened QM to middle grade only, all genres except sci-fi.

My PM, MSWL, & website say โ€œno horror,โ€ but Iโ€™m now accepting MG horror because itโ€™s the only level of horror I can handle. ๐Ÿ˜‚

Iโ€™m planning to reopen to other genres in April. ๐ŸŒท

#PBPitch & #MSWL on the same day makes me wish I could nestle here on Twitter and do nothing else!

Iโ€™m updating my MSWL page for when I reopen, but my biggest change is that Iโ€™m dropping adult fiction.

Brief list (will expound later)
๐Ÿ’ซAdult NF - CBA & ABA
๐Ÿ’ซPB, MG, YA - ABA

Agent-y updates:
With 2 upcoming in-person conferences & my current clientsโ€™ subs, this is my last week of being open to unsolicited queries.

I hope to respond to all current queries in QM by the end of this weekend. *crosses fingers* ๐Ÿ˜‚

My #MSWL for PB: true rhyme w/ perfect meter; 99% of the time prefer text-only

Tip 1: You know where you expect the beats, so have others read it out loud. Listen for where they place the emphasis.

Tip 2: Donโ€™t force the rhyme. ๐Ÿคฆ๐Ÿผโ€โ™€๏ธ

#MSWL for when I re-open Sept 1:
nonfiction business, leadership, lifestyle, cookbooks, home decor, gift books, and picture books.

Platform matters but platform is sometimes more than social media numbers.

It was a pleasure to participate in #DVpit. Iโ€™m so impressed with the professionalism of the #writingcommmunity.
