Manuscript Wish List®

Starting in just a few hours! Can't wait!

Julie Soto's friend and writing coach Anna will join us too--if you haven't met Anna, she is a high energy delight.

Julie mentioned in her acknowledgements that she's probably drinking coffee as you read this--so we'll start with a ☕️ toast. Join us!

Tomorrow! Join us for our Q&A with bestselling author Julie Soto, most recently of The Thrashers.

There's no pressure to read the book--we know you're busy! The event is so you can be around that bestseller energy, learn how she did it--and, maybe, you can too.

YouTube video by The Manuscript Academy, LLC Silence Is NOT Rejection: What's REALLY Happening In Agents' Inboxes with Agent Savannah Brooks

Why does it take SO long to get an agent?

We discuss the common misconception that silence from an agent means rejection--and what in the world agents are doing when NOT replying.

When is it "no response no" and when is it a rejection? Tune in to find out!

I do have one specific #mswl, as I was reminded tonight at our agency AMA. Think Downton Abbey meets Cosy Fantasy. I don’t care what happens in the throne room, the prince and princess and saving the world, etc. Give me the drama of the downstairs cast in the unseen halls and castle kitchens.

allow me to reintroduce myself:
hi! I’m Renee, an Associate Agent at Spencerhill Associates! I’m building a list in middle grade and young adult fiction, and am super excited to support and develop authors wherever they are in their careers! check out my #mswl 🧵

We’re working on a list of pitch events to share, but in the meantime, here’s a smartlink for agents looking for your genre: www.manuscriptwishlist.com/find-agentse...

A gentle reminder that #MSWL is just for agents and editors to post their wishes. We’ve seen some agents blocking writers posting in the feed, and don’t want this to happen to you!

I've been on a monster kick for months! Please send me monster romance stat #mswl

I'm just going to put out there in the ether, querying #booksky authors, that I'd love to see more space opera and secondary world Sci Fi in my box. Especially if it's sapphic. #agenting #mswl

Jessica is open to queries! 🎉 #mswl @jsinsheim.bsky.social
