now feels like a good time to remind agents that i do in fact still publish MG! lately my only submissions have been for requited, but i am actively still acquiring for LBYR across age categories 😃

I have gotten several emails about this in the new year and I just want to note again this was not about any specific IP although I definitely see how it reads that way now 🤣! just a general call for more diverse submissions, but I definitely could’ve worded it better

rereading it I do see how the phrasing could’ve implied that though 🤣

I had a lot of questions asking me if this is for IP project and not necessarily! it’s a general call as my submissions inbox has not been as diverse as I’d like it to be!

how does one get a job as a paid reader for a literary agency? asking for a friend!

A testimonial with the quote "I have gotten two new manuscript requests from established agencies in the past two hours.

Excluding the conference results, this exceeds my whole previous 12 months and 300 queries.

Good advice! Thanks."

Agent + Editor Meetings are live for November!

If you're tired of form letters and want insightful advice, our kind, thoughtful (and even warm and funny) agents are here to help.

We hope everyone gets requests like Erik, below! We love good news.
