"Be what you want. Don't ask for it. Don't hope for it. Don't wait for it. Be it now. Being a 'writer' is not something that happens when you sell your first book or land on a bestseller list. It’s a state of mind. It’s who you are." —Jessica Brody

"You have to relax, write what you write. It sounds easy but it's really, really hard. One of the things it took me longer to learn was to trust the writing process." —Diane Setterfield
Because it's worth saying #mswl send me your LGBTQIA2+ stuff. Whatever is happening in the world rn, there are soooo many LGBTQ+ editors and agents trying to do THINGS & we'll be asking ourselves & each other (& you, creators) how to do things. It's not over til it's over & even then it's not over.
👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻 Listen to Susan!
An amazing graphic novel by Katie Venit, illustrated by John Chad.
Here's how today works:
Writers are not allowed to pitch or post in the #MSWL feed.
This is only for agents and editors to post their wishes.
Please note agents have been known to block writers who break this rule.
It's up to them, but we don't want this to happen to you!
Happy #MSWL, #writingcommunity! Sharing what I look for, recent reads, and my favorite authors.
Don't see your book in my #MSWL? No worries! I want to see your work if it has a compelling voice, pacing, and plot.
Happy #MSWL Day!
I love it when a story has me googling at 1am because I cannot believe it is real
I want your strange corners of history, your niche obsessions, & your flawed but lovable characters who feel painfully human. I want to learn something & be completely captivated along the way
