I’m not a cooking manuscript person, but I AM a sports person. Baseball. Dirt bikes. Paintball. Dance. Gymnastics. Girls playing in boys sports. Anyone have a female quarterback in MG? Maybe The Sandlot but for a girl? #mswl

I had asked for a MG wolf story a while ago and am still searching for it. Shapeshifters welcome, or Direwolves like in GOT! Companion. Tribal animal. Wolf anything and everything. I want it. #MSWL

MG

In MG, I’m really looking for heartwarming stories! One in particular, if anyone has a MG about a girl at space camp, I’m all about it! #MSWL

MG

I have a lot of YA in my box. You know what I’d love to have more of? MG (fantasy, sci-fi, and contemporary) and Adult Romance! So a few #MSWL for these two age ranges are to follow! ❤️

I'd love to acquire a locked room mystery.

Andrea Williams @AndreaWillWrite

Today, my first piece for @bustle pubbed. It's about the lack of military-themed historical fiction that centers black women; it touches on the same biases that @mirajacob discusses in her thread. It is important reading.

“Romance authors, I want to see you in my inbox! Especially the out there, kinda weird stuff—not the traditional, small town vibe.” @kurestinarmada #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

Romance

This seems an appropriate IF TRAGIC night to reassert that I am always, always hungry for a YA Broad City, because this friendship? Legendary 💜 #MSWL

The New Yorker @NewYorker

“We really wanted to make the teen film to end all teen films,” Winona Ryder said, of “Heathers.” Instead of putting an end to the genre, though, “Heathers” gave it a new life: nyer.cm/wCvC0hX pic.twitter.com/W4bg0Alszy

I would love to find Heathers in my inbox. I have a thing for bad boyfriends. #MSWL

(In fact, I had a dream last night I was back together with the baddest of my bad boyfriends, and even though I knew better, I still couldn't resist him.)

Sarah J. Sover @SarahJSover

@UweStenderPhD Thank you for these! Will an agent who signs an author for a novel sometimes be willing to handle the sub-rights of a previous novel that was published with a small pub?

Replying to @SarahJSover

Possibly.

Updated my wish list for spring. Hope it's helpful! #MSWL bit.ly/aka_list

Lisa Herron @LisaC_Herron

@UweStenderPhD How do you feel about first person present tense? Thanks.

Replying to @LisaC_Herron

It all depends on the story etc..If done well: Awesome! If done poorly: 🙃

Noreen @naziaso

@UweStenderPhD #askagent My two comps are completely different genre should I just focus on one type of genre in query letter.

Replying to @naziaso

I would just not comp it.

I’m back from maternity leave in a month and I want all the submissions, especially YA contemporary #MSWL

Arie Veira @arieXeira

@UweStenderPhD How much does a (lack of) publishing history matter? Novelists who don't write short fiction or poetry are hard pressed to do the slow-small-steady build towards publishing. Does a strong MS trump a zero pub history?

Replying to @arieXeira

Yes, 100% for me.

J.Lee Dodson is Writing His First Novel @JLeeDodson

@UweStenderPhD I'm currently working on my first MG fantasy novel. I would like to begin work on a new book, however, I'm torn between a new MG novel or a YA horror novel. Questions are: Should I invest in a new MG( back pocket MS) or try another genre? Do you see horror making a comeback?

Replying to @JLeeDodson

My advice might not be helpful to you, but I will tell you what I tell my clients: "write what you are compelled to write, don't write for trends."

HL Hinkle🍳 @TheComingOfGose

@UweStenderPhD Hi! What's your typical request rate (per 1000 queries received, say)? Are you super selective up front or do you roll the dice a lot?
Thanks!

Replying to @TheComingOfGose

I am very selective, but...good question! I don't keep stats, but my gut feeling....Hmmm, I may request somewhere between 15 to 50 manuscripts per thousand queries.

21timetraveler @21timetraveler

@UweStenderPhD Why might an agent request a partial instead of a full?

Replying to @21timetraveler

I don't know. You're asking the wrong person. If *I* am interested in something, I request the full. Maybe it comes from the time when there was no email to avoid printing and receiving all the paper?!? It's email, if I like it, I read on, if I don't, I pass, why not the full?!?
