Why can I never find my glasses when I have an appointment with the eye doctor?

This is a very cool idea! I want more YA fantasy where the girl characters are girly (like maybe good with people instead of swords) but I hadn't thought of something like the embroidery bit. I bet you could hide a lot of things in novels that men dismissed as trashy.

I'm not saying it's bad I would just like to see something different!

Yes! All fantasy!

This is my official #MSWL which I haven't updated in awhile (sorry!) but it's still a good sense of my taste. manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/em...

And here are my MSWL tweets from recent to days of yore (Twitter). mswishlist.com/agent/esc_key

Yes

Keyes Agency is open to queries on March 2. MSWL: - Cozy fantasy in adult and YA - MG for reluctant readers, especially underrepresented - YA romance from underrepresented authors, particularly disabled creators - Lyrical picture books with a unique and unexpected rhyme schemes Images of similar books Emily has sold.

It's #MSWL day and I am open to queries on Monday. Here are some things I am thinking about.

Hello #writingcommunity! It's almost here... the next MSWL Day is on February 26th! 🖊️💻

A reminder: This isn't a pitch event. Agents + editors will post what they ✨wish✨ they had in their inboxes, so we can discover our next best fit for querying.

Nerd lol. We did ask if meant like Wolverine and he said no, but that's true there are others. 🤣

Further questioning cleared this up not at all. But I think Canada should be proud?

Yes. I am open to unsolicited queries the first Monday of each month or via referral whenever.

Work / Life by Jessica Whipple A man coaxes a dresser to stand up from a schematic on his workbench. A woman snips peonies. She rights their heavy heads in a jar on her dining room table. What makes them beautiful is too much for them to bear. And possibly the most direct route to upright is the miracle of corn and soybeans standing in ripples on this Pennsylvania land. Three draft horses move as one to wake the earth, hitching gear jangling as if to say, “Get up, take up your mat, and walk.”

Since it's Monday, here is a poem about good work (even though some people are off today).

You can also hear it on @radio.wpsu.org.web.brid.gy's The Poetry Moment, read and expounded upon here: radio.wpsu.org/2024-10-21/p...

Thanks for perhaps reading or listening.

Update, I found it in a tote bag. The only thing I have more of than notebooks. It probably stole it for attention.

I can't find a notebook. Is it the one to my right? No. Is it the one to my left? No. Is it the one behind me? No. Is it the one on the shelf? No.

Do you think Nancy Drew is available for this case?

Mine started making noises (which has happened before, a lot) but then it started shutting itself off which is new. Perhaps there is some global printer ritual happening this week.

I quit my job and am entering my freelancer era! If you know someone who might be interested in bespoke editorial work from a kidlit editor, send them my way 🙇

I'm not on here very often because life has been busy as of late, but needed to make this PSA again:
