Again this is just some context as to why I am providing such specifics around my TWs. I understand it’s unusual but I do appreciate when people send them.

It’s when we get into contemporary missing persons cases and police procedurals that I don’t want to read something repeatedly and therefore wouldn’t be a good agent for it.

Those stories are no longer just stories for me.

If your book includes a murder incidentally but isn’t about murder it’s very likely fine. If it’s a fantasy it’s often fine. For example, I loved THE RAVEN SCHOLAR!

I spoke about this many times over on twitter (RIP) but just for some context:

I ask for trigger warnings regarding murder because my best friend was murdered. It’s not gore that bothers me, it’s when stories are a little too close to her own.

Very early! No spoilers!!

A yeti with a scarf and orange beanie slides across the room in a dance pose. His scarf trails behind him, wrapping itself into a hand-drawn "whoosh". In the background, there are dance paraphernalia, including a spoof of Dirty Dancing but with unicorns (Unicorns Dancing), a unicorn version of a Degas ballet painting, and dance books (e.g. Tutu Fast, Tutu Furious).

Happy #KidLitArtPostcard day! I'm Steph, an author-illustrator and former pastry chef from CA. This image is from my debut picture book, The Abominable Snow Dancer, which came out 4 months ago!

Oh I KNEW someone here recced it! It was SO fun. (And made me so hungry omg!!!!!) lovely line level writing and such a fun premise!!

It’s a tough process, I do get it.

I know it’s tough for people to receive feedback, but I also wish that wasn’t taken out on me 🥴

Unfortunately I’m now a little nervous any time I see any kind of reply now 🥴

I hope this may give some context as to why form responses are necessary on my end.

I used to periodically try to offer specific feedback on projects (in addition to the form letter) but I will not be sending personalized feedback on initial queries for the foreseeable future. I received such an abusive response at the beginning of the year that I will not be risking it anymore.

I receive over 200 per week on average and the only way to get back to everyone is to use a form. The same letter goes to everyone, no matter the project.

I’m cross posting here as well re: #querying

I just want to clarify for everyone that my pass on query letters is a form. I take a lot of time to thoroughly review materials, but unfortunately I cannot personalize a response for each query.

Right back at ya! It’s cool to care ✨

No seriously 🥴

Flu A for two weeks and then soon after caught a cold 🥴🥴🥴

I’ve been sick for three full weeks of 2026 already.

I’m begging folks to stay home while sick, or if you have to go out please wear a mask.

Don't be fooled by this bill's name-- this is a book banning bill that will exclude LGBTQ books from all public schools NATIONWIDE.

Call your congresspeople and tell them to VOTE NO on this nakedly bigoted book banning bullshit.

I just got my loan so now I need to speed read!!

If searching for a serial killer is the main action plot that one is probably not going to be a fit for me I’m afraid!

Absolutely!

Oh my gosh I’m enjoying it SO much so far.
