Thank you, Hannah! 😍
It will leave you speechless.
I'm closed to queries as of 1/15 but I look forward to reopening some time in February.
Jenny is a fabulous writer and human. Learn from her online!
It's true, I'm back open! querytracker.net/query/1731
JEFF!!! You're the best. Thank you so much. 😍
Looking back at the stories the Bulletin covered in Disruptive Tech in 2025, the pattern of how large tech companies with enormous power have permeated nearly every bit of contemporary life can be seen in clear ink. Here are five pieces that explore this phenomenon.

Excellent interview with Danya Kukafka about her writing process, particularly how Notes on an Execution evolved. Yes, evolved--novels, especially great ones can take a LONG time to get there. Keep going! podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/i...
#writers looking for agents. You don't have to 'know' someone. I've signed clients from Querymanager and sold their books. Here's a great example--Tamara L. Miller (Into the Fall, Thomas & Mercer 2025) talks about her experience on David Gwyn's Thriller 101 podcast. thriller101.com/tamar…
Wahoo for debut authors!!!! Congratulations, @tfmkevin.bsky.social 🥳 cc: Ballantine, Penguin Random House, Aevitas Creative Managment.
Sorry! I was open to horror crossovers for a while--such as thrillers with elements of horror, but wasn't getting what I was looking for--check out my colleagues' mswl on the Aevitas website--they may be looking. Good luck!
#writers I opened back up to queries and some people have questioned whether I'm using an algorithm because I respond quickly--nope. I read every query myself and I know what I'm looking for, so yes, I can be fast. I respect every writer who submits. Keep going. I'm rooting for you all. 💪📚
Back open to queries, mswl included. querytracker.net/query/QueryL...
Hey, everyone! I'll be talking to @pipelineartists.bsky.social about the importance of the first 50 pages of your manuscript and how to make them shine on July 23rd, sign up here, and get a copy of my Quick & Dirty Guide to: Editing!
I don’t know how else to explain this…if you’re cheering for someone else’s rights to be taken away, you’re cheering for your own to disappear too. This isn’t cake. You don’t get more by refusing to share. Either everyone has rights, or no one really does. Thats it. It’s simple.
🥳
Coming up in June! 6/18, I'll be at Thrillerfest in NYC talking getting an agent today with @cbuccibookman.bsky.social, and taking pitches at Pitchfest, 6/18. On 6/21, catch me online talking query letters www.eventbrite.com/e/query-lett...
This is 4-8% of my budget. We'll survive. But we are all going to have to buy more books and support the institutions we want to keep around for the next four years.
Many small presses are nonprofits and you can directly support their work by making a recurring tax deductible donation. (Ours is www.hubcity.org/support)
Two years in a row. @marythor.bsky.social is working on a novel too! 😍
Dang x 2!!!!!!
😍😍😍
Coming '26! Mary Thorson's powerfully feminist short stories inspired by true crime. I've been a fan since stumbling on a shoutout to her latest short story on social media. And she's working on a novel! Congrats, @marythor.bsky.social !!!! And nice to work with you Rock and a Hard Place Press!
WAHOO!!!!! 😍
It's been a tough week at the agency. Esmond was a wonderful mentor. www.thetimes.com/uk/obituarie...
Ugh, true.
oh no!
