Some highlights:

Agent friends! If it’s been awhile since we connected, please reach out! I’d love to chat. 💕

And if we’ve never spoken, let’s change that! (I’m always especially excited to connect with newer/junior agents—I see the good work you’re doing & I want to buy your clients’ books!)

Attention #Authors!
Shadow Mountain will be open to ALL submissions from June 1 through June 7, 2022. (No agent required.)

Agents, I’m open to and would love to see MG and YA about surviving sexual assault, especially ones that offer hope to teen and kid survivors (not necessarily neat answers/linear healing/happy endings, but hope!) #MSWL

Hey #kidlit creators, thanks for sending so many amazing stories my way! Just read a NF #picturebook that I adore😍and a #chapterbook series that cracked me up🤣Keep them coming! #WritingCommunity #amquerying #mswl #amwriting manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/amy-…

A day off means a day for reading #kidlit! I'm jumping into my @starryforestbooks inbox & can't wait to read your funny, inspiring, beautiful stories! If you've been thinking about querying us, today's the perfect day! #amquerying #pb #cb #MSWL #amwriting manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/amy-…

What I'm looking for: I'm especially interested in books that focus on themes of gender and sexuality, feminism, and climate change. But I love any good story well told.

We welcome unagented submissions. Send a query letter that includes a brief description of the project, a brief bio, & two recent comp titles (published roughly w/in the last three years). Attach the first 30–50 pages of your MS as a Word doc or PDF & send to: jds75@cornell.edu

#ThreeHills focuses on works set in NY State & esp those north of NYC. I'm interested in commercial fiction w/ literary crossover—literary fiction, sci-fi, mystery, & thriller. We do *not* publish romance, fantasy, YA, children’s lit, poetry, drama, or works in translation.

Excited to finally share this NEWS! I’m officially acquiring novels & short story collections for @cornellpress’s regional trade imprint, #ThreeHills! I want to read your New York–based #fiction, preferably focused on upstate & rural areas. Submission guidelines in thread #MSWL👇

#MSWL So, I do take mysteries/thrillers and detective stories, and a current want is something in the nature of Silver and Opal Country by Chris Hammer, where the place the novel is set is a character in its own right (in that case, the Australian outback).

I’m also feeling a deep need for all things humor! and a sweeping, true love story? would love to read that too #mswl

For REASONS, my current #MSWL is currently normal people taking down the oppressive people who lord over them.

One day I will edit a Desi LOTR x Princess Diaries. That may not make sense to anyone else but it's gonna happen!! #MSWL

Okay, which one of you is going to write me this novel?? #MSWL thedailybeast.com/the-making-of-…

I recently read the amazing THE 57 BUS by @DashkaSlater and now I'm craving incredible YA non-fiction....#MSWL

I want to read more horror with this surreal, dark fairytale vibe. The kind of horror that entrances you as much as it terrifies you. #MSWL

It's a long weekend in 🇨🇦 and my submissions inbox is currently at zero. I'm on the lookout for new picture book authors and author/illustrators for @starryforestbks, so take a peek at my #MSWL: manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/anna… #amwriting #pb #WritingCommunity #amquerying #amreading
