Future #MSWL & QM update:
I have less than 40 undecided queries/submissions. I plan to reopen mid-late January to a few genres. This info is not on my website or MSWL page yet— it’s just a head’s up and I hope it’s helpful!

✨ ADULT FICTION✨
• contemporary romance - think Emily Henry but low spice or Melissa Ferguson
• upmarket / book club
• cozy mysteries

✨ NONFICTION✨
- same as what’s on website -

✨ KIDLIT ✨
• PB/MG/YA - classic-style with a literary bent. Secret Garden. Bridge to Terabithia. Winnie-the-Pooh.
• PB - humorous character-driven series

‼️Not looking for SEL or rhyme.‼️

#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

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

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