📚Sim Carter @simcarter

@UweStenderPhD I’m old school & have been using Mr. or Ms. when querying agents but recently heard first name is fine. What do you think?

Replying to @simcarter

First name is fine.

Kristi Tragethon IS in FULL teacher mode! @KristiTragethon

@UweStenderPhD #askagent How long do you (on average) take to review a full manuscript? And if you’re on the fence about it...do you put it aside of awhile?

Replying to @KristiTragethon

That depends. Sadly, these days it can take me months, and other times, days. It depends on how busy/distracted/focused I am both professionally and personally. My average is probably 7 or 8 weeks. Sometimes I wonder if I should offer or request an R&R. That could delay things.

Alix E. Harrow @AlixEHarrow

twitter i have a hunger for: battle couples.

don't care about the genre (sff, romance, crime, whatever) or the gender, just really want to read about two people exchanging a last, heated glance before spinning back to back to face down insurmountable odds

Make it SFF & send my way!! #MSWL

Thought of another #MSWL: A rewatch of Palm Springs got me thinking about time loops & interconnected timelines. I’d love to see something that truly blows my mind in the way NEVERWORLD WAKE or MIDWINTERBLOOD did. Serious, funny, romantic, super dark, all of the above?

John Cusick is just this guy you know @johnmcusick

I like friends to lovers and enemies to lovers, but what about lovers to arch rivals engaged in an epic battle for dominance?

If you're a Latinx author who is participating in #LatinxPitch next week and happens to have a horror novel about Worry Dolls, consider this me pre-favoriting your Tweet in a shameless attempt to get a jump on the competition. #MSWL

Took the summer off from Twitter and it was glorious. But I'm back now, for better or worse (probably the latter), and I'm particularly interested in great horror and narrative NF at the moment, in addition to my usual book tastes. #MSWL
