I’ve decided to pause querying my YA dystopia for a month or two. A tough decision given how long I’ve already spend on writing/editing, but I have a feeling the manuscript needs a bit more perfecting πŸ₯Ή Hoping this decision will yield some positive results down the line! πŸ˜…πŸ«ΆπŸ»

I’m always finding new agents to add to my list even after I spent weeks researching 🀣 Sub to QueryTracker emails. Check the MSWL tag here and on the MSWL website. :) Other than that I usually scroll through Bluesky β€œfollowing” lists!

Excerpt from β€œThe Rating.” 

I lowered my eyes, closing them momentarily in an attempt to squelch the duel between all I’d ever known and current reality. My head felt heavy with thought, like an anchor bent on driving me to the depths of despair.

Cori, the FMC, struggles with anxiety (and even more so once her whole life is flipped upside down). The feeling of your head getting heavy with thought really does seem like an anchor some days.

Hi Nikki! Would you consider a YA grounded dystopia if it had some of your MSWL items?

And that’s all from me for #BluePit ! What an awesome day full of love from fellow writers! This is the most supported I’ve felt through the querying process and reminds me I’m not alone. We’re all in the trenches! Happy to read or review anything as a beta reader, and always around to chat. πŸ«ΆπŸ»πŸ“–

I have a YA dystopia (sadly doesn’t seem to fit your MSWL), but as a detail-oriented person I wanted to compliment your MSWL! So in-depth! A querying author’s dream 🫢🏻🀩
