This is very dependent on the skills of the agent and/or the in-house editor, if the agency has one. Some agents care more about an author having storytelling skills than beautiful prose because they're good line editors or the agency in-house editor is amazing at sentence work.

You can find my detailed, uptaded #MSWL here: I am open to be surprised, but not by something on my anti-MSWL. That said, you can still send me books if you’re honestly criticizing some of these institutions or tropes, just shoot your shots wisely.

@wickedjamison Literally the first thing I learned in college was every action is political, and I refuse to argue with grown people over things I knew at 17.

The final nail in the coffin for the streaming wars. After spending $20B on shows and movies since the launch of Apple TV+ to generate less views in a month than Netflix does in a day, Apple plans to cut back on TV spending. It was fun while it lasted.

By tomorrow everyone can use this link and it’ll be updated accordingly tonight. Please, do not query me via email. I always delete those queries without responding. Likewise, I don’t respond to pitches on Twitter.

If you notice I jumped over your query, do know it’s probably because I’m jumping around in my inbox. I'm a mood reader and I sometimes read by genre, event, or tag. There’s no difference in my enthusiasm if it took me two days to request or a month.

Since this seems to be the year of mainstreaming age-gap romance, let me just say once again that I *love* queer, but especially Sapphic age-gap romance. #MSWL #amquerying

The only thing I miss about Benoit is that he had always Kaori put her blade in the judges' faces. Maria France will never let Kaori be a menace again.

I’ll also be trying to prioritize existing fulls, event submissions, and maybes, so if there’s a lengthy wait, that’s the reason (along with having to pay bills and care- giving). I will respond to every query, and a QT CNR means nothing on my end.

I never want to be rude and not respond, but I also don't want to create a precedent. I love to connect with authors, but for my mental health, I'd like to keep Twitter for genuine inquiries. I'll consider pitches when they're in QM.
