I'm so excited for RevPit this year! My writer's group has me hyped!!! I hope the editors are ready because this is going to be a strong group!

If you’re on the fence about #RevPit, I’m always tempted to say you have nothing to lose + everything to gain. Which is true.

But I also want to acknowledge that there are genuine reasons not to enter. So, I present you:

Reasons Not to Enter the RevPit Annual Contest 🧵

Hello, Authors, and welcome to my favorite season of the year – #RevPit Season!
Spring (in the Northern Hemisphere) is, IMHO, the best of all seasons, especially after the winter we’ve endured in Minnesota.
And the RevPit 2025 Annual Contest is Spring’s highlight.
#MeetTheEditor

Hey Revelers! The meet the editor sessions for #RevPit are happening this week. Here’s the schedule. Mine is on Friday. You can ask me about anything from my editorial style to my wishlist and beyond. 💜💎💌

RevPit’s BIPOC Editor Mentorship: This mentorship is open to any and all BIPOC individuals growing their developmental fiction editing expertise and experience. They must have a website and social media where they conduct business or advertise their services. Applications due by Friday, February 27th.

LAST DAY TO APPLY! Send in your application now:

Because it's worth saying #mswl send me your LGBTQIA2+ stuff. Whatever is happening in the world rn, there are soooo many LGBTQ+ editors and agents trying to do THINGS & we'll be asking ourselves & each other (& you, creators) how to do things. It's not over til it's over & even then it's not over.

#MSWL for @nicolefrailbooks.bsky.social: short fiction (short stories or novellas), essays, collections (short story or essay), multi-POV novels. Previous pub experience not needed, but an active online platform is.

I'm an acquiring editor at Lake Drive Books, where we publish memoir, self-help, spirituality, and psychology volumes to help you grow, heal, and discover. Our sweet spot is religious deconstruction of all flavors, particularly from LGBTQ, neurodivergent, and ethnic minority voices. #MSWL

#MSWL I'd love to see wuxia or xianxia stories from Asian writers or the diaspora, either in YA/MG. I find stories from Asian history and folklore fascinating and want to see more from authors from those cultures. But I'm not interested if it's from a cultural appropriation self-insert perspective.

Bingo card of MSWL wants, full description in rest of thread

It’s #mswl day hosted by @manuscriptwishlist.bsky.social and I made this cute bingo card graphic with my wishlist wants. If you hit any square, feel free to query. My inbox is open and the link is in my bio.

It’s hard to read, so written out in thread form, here’s what I’m looking for: #mswl 1/x

Hi! I'm currently closed to subs, but will be open soon. I'll announce when here, so feel free to follow. I rep picture books, YA, adult, fiction and non-fiction and love unforgettable stories. Always looking for great works! My wishlist and guidelines here #mswl: www.jdlit.com/marie-lamba

#mswl i'm also looking for proposals about the creation of popular TV shows or films. Particularly of interest would be Succession, Heated Rivalry, It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, or 30 Rock. I’d love something that delves into the rise of K-dramas and/or K-pop in international markets.

Happy #MSWL Day!
I love it when a story has me googling at 1am because I cannot believe it is real
I want your strange corners of history, your niche obsessions, & your flawed but lovable characters who feel painfully human. I want to learn something & be completely captivated along the way

It's #MSWL day! I'm looking for fiction: propulsive and atmospheric crime fiction, immersive historical adventures, myth-based fantasy. I adore: Dark, macabre atmosphere; creatives as MCs; outdoor adventures & more! I open to Qs on the 10th of each month. manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/al...

#MSWL Non-Western mythology and folklore! Greek mythology gets a lot of attention, and I’d love to find stories that shine a light on folklore and mythology from different parts of the world

There are a lot of #MSWL posts going around and I love that!
I just want authors to remember NOT to self reject.
Your book doesn’t have to be a perfect match to a MSWL
If the agent takes fantasy and you have fantasy take your shot! ❤️
Don’t stress it!

Nonfic: I really want to work with someone writing about cultural spiritual practices. Like from a grounded, researched approach that is not aiming to make it necessarily more accessible but aiming to capture the roots and history of the practice. #mswl manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/v-...

#MSWL I gravitate towards commercial writing and writing with an upmarket bend. I’m specifically prioritizing BIPOC authors and stories, as well as LGBTQ authors and stories.

Send me all your messy relationships, intense yearning, eat the rich, good for her stories!

Happy MSWL Day!!! I'm looking for a wide range of fiction and nonfiction. #MSWL manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/an...

It's #MSWL Day!!
I am an agent for @ladderbird.bsky.social !
Just to give some insight on me: I am looking for writers that value showing BIPOCs in our full-spectrum- our lows and our highs. I love writing that is designed to show the most natural state of a community and its culture. +

The graphic says "The Presentation Party: Five industry insiders. Five snappy slide decks. One night that makes publishing make sense. March 12, 8:30pm ET, livestreamed, free."

If you're enjoying #MSWL today and want to keep the energy going, our educational sister company @manuscriptacademy.bsky.social is throwing a FREE Presentation Party on March 12.

Five agents + editors, five 10-minute talks, real publishing insights. RSVP: presentation-party.manuscriptacademy.com 🥂

Hello, querying authors! I am open for submissions and actively looking for Book Club Fiction and expert-written Adult Non-Fiction. Show me your stuff! Submission link included at manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/li...

Current Cravings Here are some specific things I'm craving in books!

In addition to my #MSWL, you can also see super specific things I'm currently hungry for on my "cravings" page: www.jane-chun.com/cravings If your query fits any of these (and doesn't hit my "do not send me" list on my MSWL), I'll be excited to see it!

Sidebar: I’m not really the agent to try if your books are about BIPOC characters, but you don’t come from that background. And I’m going to be brutally honest, I don’t care if you’re married or something to a person from that race/ethnicity, because it’s not the same as a lived experienced. #MSWL

#MSWL Day

Hello Friends! Welcome to #MSWL Day 2026! 🎉

This is our second ever #MSWL Day on Bluesky. We’re happy you’re here!

You can, as of TODAY, search Bluesky and ManuscriptWishList.com posts at once: manuscriptwishlist.com/smart-search. All posts are verified by a human who works in publishing. ☕

People who have written books, how did you know you HAD to write the book? How do you decide "yes this is a book that I really fucking want to write so help me god" vs making it a blog or a newsletter or a series of features?
