YAY #dvparty! Char’s senior year plan: finish the bucket list made with her dead BF & try not to fall apart. Enter Trey, a quiet boy who knows things only her late boyfriend could. Char must decide if he is her second chance at love… or if the boy she lost isn’t as gone as she thought #ya #r #s

Alright y’all! Here is this week’s line up of agented authors. There were sooooo many so I had to break this down into 2 parts. So if you don’t see your slide here, hang on for part 2! #writers #writingcommunity #amquerying #authorsky

Good morning, everyone! We had a few more #PitchDis requests go out overnight 🎉 Remember that the request window has been extended until Monday evening.

Another day to remind unagented romance authors that #SmoochPit applications are open. To apply, your manuscript must be completed, unpublished, and have romance as a major theme. #writers #writingcommunity

If you self-identify as disabled, neurodivergent, and/or chronically ill, #PitchDis applications are now open! Your manuscript must be completed and polished. You must also be unagented. #writers #writingcommunity

Prepare your dance cards, Debutantes! The May promenade is brimming with Pitching Soirées: 📅 8-9: Pgh Writing Workshop 📅 14: #WriterPit (IG) 📅 16-17: Writing Away Refuge 📅 23: #WIPPit (BSKY/X) 📅 26: Masterclass 📅 30: #SEAsianPit (BSKY/X) #WritingCommunity

In the query trenches, no two paths to success are the same, but they all deserve a toast! Here are some success stories from the querying community. Their querying journey show that: 1. No timeline is the same. 2. Persistence pays off. 3. You can still gain strides if you self-publish. #writing

4. Regardless of where you are in the process, you can still share your craft by participating in writing contests A huge congrats to the authors featured here. Whether you’re on a 48-hour rollercoaster or years long voyage, let these stories be your fuel. Your moment is coming. #author #writesky

If you’re querying, there are a few things you want to consider about your query letter structure... Wisdom from last week's Society Papers: Stop obsessing over your clever prose and quirky voice in the query letter! #amquerying #Pubsky #authorsky

According to a lit. agent Kodie Van Dusen, your query letter is an exercise in story anatomy. Your pitch is the skeleton that holds the body up, while your clever prose is merely the muscle, fat, and tissue on the skeleton. Don't let your story collapse because of weak bones.

Every querying writer eventually develops: - A spreadsheet - A backup spreadsheet - A panic spreadsheet QueryTo App is basically my attempt to end this cycle. I’m letting those on the waitlist see the platform evolve in real time before launch. #authorsky #writersky #amquerying #amrevising

A full dance card is a delight, but organization is a necessity. Do not let a single manuscript request slip through the cracks. Link in bio to track your suitors, or find them, on QueryTo when it goes live. #AmQuerying #QueryToSociety

The May Sprints have officially begun. #amquerying Here are some discerning literary agents who have opened their parlors for a limited time. From female rage and gothic horror to BIPOC-led MG epics, the drawing rooms have lots of vibes this month.

Slide to meet the May Suitors: - Claire Harris (Helm Literary) - Erin Casey Westin (Gallt & Zacker) - Madelyn Knecht (Storm Literary) - Rose Conway (Confluence Literary) - Kodie Van Dusen (The Rights Factory) - Liz Gettle (Myth Literary) - and more. Visit their profiles for their detailed MSWL.

If you’re querying, there are a few things you really don’t want to get wrong… #writesky Wisdom from last week's Society Papers: 1. Verify your suitors: Check QueryTracker, WriterBeware, etc. Real agents don't use Gmail addresses. 2. Mind your manners: It’s a small industry. Stay professional.

3. Stand on business: You're the CEO of your writing career. If an agent gaslights you, jump ship. Anything you’d add to this?

Ahhhh!! I’m so excited I could burst! I just hit send on a secret update for everyone on the QueryTo waitlist! If you aren't on the list yet, you just missed the first-ever look at the Agent Directory—including the Discover matchmaker and other search tools.

I’m sharing all the behind-the-scenes screenshots and big updates there first. You definitely don't want to miss the next one. I'm hoping QueryTo goes live in the next 3-4 weeks. Don't get left in query limbo. Join the waitlist.
