  15. Does anyone know someone who does writes query letters for a fee? And helps authors with the query process?

    I know a neurodivergent children's author who needs help with her query letter and the process! She is happy to pay for the service.

    NO ADVICE OR "HOW TO'" LINKS PLEASE - Only legimate persons who sell this kind of service!!

    Please share!

  16. After a whirlwind Christmas and vacation back home, I wanted to post some #writing news:
    ▪️At the beginning of December, my short story, “Nuala”, was published in The Talon Review! You can read it here: talonreview.com/vol-3
    ▪️Just last week, one of my poems was published in Pink Disco Magazine: pinkdiscomagazine.com/

    Writing is a business fraught with rejection, and even though I’m still working on getting a #LiteraryAgent these wins have really boosted my confidence.

  17. If any literary agent out there would like to see a query, synopsis and/or excerpts of my YA Sci-Fi novel Water Dogs, let me know! #literaryagent

  23. I shared this on the bird site in August, and am sharing it again here because it is a great piece, and the well-respected agent Meredith Kaffel Simonoff plays a part!

  24. When I tell people I'm trying to get an agent and/or publisher for my book, they too often ask where they can buy it or when it will come out. Um...since when can you buy a book that isn't published? That's not how books work. Since when does "I'm looking for a publisher" mean "You can buy it now"?

    No, you can't buy it
    Because it's not published yet
    This is how books work.

  25. Getting ghosted by agents and publishers is almost as awful as getting form rejections. At this point, after all the work that's gone into this story and the query package sent to agents, all I can do is wait, hope, and pray that someone will save me from this endless cycle of silence.

    Someone publish me
    My story dies in silence
    Please stop killing me

  26. @ajsramblings follow all those hashtags you posted. I would also look at #MSWL and #BookTube and if you like Audiobooks, #Audiobook and #Audiobooks I would also suggest following #LiteraryAgent and #LiteraryAgents and #AmQuerying I hope pitch events make it over here soon!

  27. I might be screaming into the void as I am still so new here, but if anyone sees this…I am putting it out there. ✨ I’m currently looking to meet with literary reps and managers as I’ve created two original comedies that I’m excited to start pitching. These two shows are based on my real life and I couldn’t be more excited about them! 💫LET’S GO! 💃🏼#LiteraryAgent #literary #talent #writer #OriginalCharacter #actress #comedy

  28. Querying agents for a new commercial novel, and starting to query for an early reader children's series (five completed little books, not yet illustrated). Any takers? Suggestions? (I follow back unless you're spammy or scummy.) #literaryagent #kidlit #publisher #novel

  29. Anyone interested in a series of toots about literary agents and their role in the publishing ecosystem? #LiteraryAgent #LiteraryAgency #Publishing
