Bethany Jett

I’m feeling really great about where I’m at with my QM, so I decided to reopen just for a tiny bit before summer. I’ll post a more detailed #MSWL later today but I’ve reopened to Adult, which I haven’t done for a while, and I’m still extremely interested in MG.

(My website still says closed but I’m driving all day and can’t change it until later. QM genres are open.)

#MSWL: MG writers! 📣

I’ve reopened QM to middle grade only, all genres except sci-fi.

My PM, MSWL, & website say “no horror,” but I’m now accepting MG horror because it’s the only level of horror I can handle. 😂

I’m planning to reopen to other genres in April. 🌷

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

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

Brief list (will expound later)
💫Adult NF - CBA & ABA
💫PB, MG, YA - ABA

Closing submissions inbox on Friday.

#MSWL - cozy mysteries, YA or MG retellings, NF (see QM or PM for list), PB (can be author-only)

I’ve reopened to queries but my response time might be longer than normal. #MSWL:

💞YA/MG: Retellings
💕A: Cozies
💞Cookbooks/Food & Beverage
💕NF: Home & Lifestyle

Unfortunately, being sick for so long has put me pretty behind so I thank you in advance for your patience. ❤️

#MSWL I’m reopening to queries in Dec. & am acquiring everything listed on my website, but would really like to see:
💞YA/MG: Retellings
💕A: Cozies
💞Cookbooks/Food & Beverage
💕NF: Home & Lifestyle

#amquerying

#MSWL update: Cozy mysteries.

#WritingCommunity #amquerying

Agent-y updates:
With 2 upcoming in-person conferences & my current clients’ 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* 😂

#mswl #amquerying

If anyone has NF: home decor, lifestyle, or organizing, I would love to see it before I close on the 15th. #MSWL

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: Don’t force the rhyme. 🤦🏼‍♀️

#morningmusings

#MSWL
✨Cookbooks
✨Home & lifestyle
✨Retellings (YA only)
✨PB, particularly holiday

I’m open to queries again and just found out my page is live on Manuscript Wish List!!!! 🎉🎉🎉

One update: I’m looking for the first 50 pgs, not 10, for fiction. 🤗 #mswl

manuscriptwishlist.com/?post_type=msw…

#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. I’m so impressed with the professionalism of the #writingcommmunity.

With 2 upcoming conferences and current client projects to shop, I’m closing my QM on Tuesday. #MSWL still open for NF & PB until then!

My inbox is full of requested manuscripts 🎉 so I am officially closed to fiction submissions so I have time to read the fulls. Meanwhile, nonfiction remains open!
#MSWL: high-concept cookbooks, home decor, organization, business & leadership

#mswl - high concept cookbooks or cookbooks from influencers who showcase recipes on their platforms.

#MSWL available at Pub Marketplace
📚📚 Looking forward to #DVpit!
