Hi friends! Important update. I’ll be reopening to full manuscripts on December 12 at 10 am eastern. So, if you’ll have a book ready for feedback by the end of the year, I would love to work with you. I’ll be booking from January through early March because of #RevPit, so space will be limited. 💎💜
Chapter 86 of Literary Blend with Matthew Valdez on the humanity of publishing is out, and I swear, you MUST hear this. Such an honest and transparent conversation from the author and agent perspectives. All platforms: demimschwartz.com/literary-blend Spotify: open.spotify.com/episode/3Qcl... 📚

Amethyst Ink Update! I’m officially completely booked with full manuscripts for the rest of 2026. So grateful and honored to have a packed summer and fall. I’m always open to query letters and partials, too. 💜💎
I only have one spot left for either a full manuscript critique or developmental editing on September 30. If you’re working on a WIP you’ll have ready for the fall, the spot could be yours. 💜💎
Amethyst Ink Update! I only have two spots left, both in September. If you would like a full manuscript critique or developmental editing this year, now is the time to reach out. Once these spots fill, I’ll be closed until December to book for 2027. 💜💎
Good morning. It’s Amethyst Ink Hunger Games Day. I’m not the one trying to get a spot, but I still get so stressed out because I feel bad if I have to tell authors I’m booked by the time I get to their requests. 💜💎
Hi friends, just a reminder that I’m opening to full manuscript critiques and developmental editing on Saturday at 10 am eastern. I’ll be booking from June through October. Due to focusing on one manuscript at a time to give each 100 percent of my attention, spots are extremely limited. 💜💎
Having so much fun going through @demimschwartz.bsky.social notes on my manuscript and making it sparkle! #mg #revpit #revpitwinner
Hi friends, I’m opening to full manuscript critiques and developmental editing next Saturday, May 16, at 10 am eastern. This is first come, first served. Spots are limited because I focus on one book at a time to give it the attention it deserves. All the info’s on my site. 💜💎
✨ Chapter 81 of Literary Blend ✨ Another chapter is out! This one is with Z. T. Fairfax on surviving publishing’s long wait times. It’s a new favorite. No matter what stage you’re at on your journey, this is for you. Listen on your fave pod platform! demimschwartz.com/literary-blend 💕

Butterflies, thanks to your votes in April, I’m a finalist in six categories for the ISSA Awards. My heart is so full. Love you all! 🦋

Feeling Like a Busy Music and Publishing Bee - April 2026 Wrap - Demi Michelle Schwartz
Wow, I felt like the busiest bee in April. So many exciting things are happening in both music and publishing. Here are the highlights. My Seven Nominations for the 2026 ISSA Awards For the fourth yea...

I genuinely enjoy critiquing query letters. After surviving the trenches twice myself and reading hundreds of query letters across a literary agent internship and #RevPit, my brain is wired for how to make queries sparkle. My critiques are only $25 and include in-depth comments. 💜💎
My new adult dark romantasy, “A Fate So Sweet and Red,” will be published this Friday in Sensual Magic. This story is a loose reimagining of Hades and Persephone that features fated soulmates, original strawberry folklore, and a strong female character who falls for the god of an unknown realm. 🍓❤️🔥
I love editing short stories because I’m like, oh, you’re submitting this to an anthology? Thank you for trusting me to not only critique your story but also fully support your choices since I’m an anthology obsessed girlie! Anyway, if you have a short story under 5k you want editorial eyes on, hi!
Kaleidoscopic Quill is a month old today, and it’s an indie bestseller. Someone pinch me please because no way. 🥹🦋
I just finished reading The Beautiful Maddening by Shea Ernshaw, and wow. If you love character-driven YA romantasy with lyrical prose and folklore, you must read this book. 🫶🏼
I can’t believe that Prom Perfect, the first anthology I edited, has been out for a whole year. If you love YA romance, you should grab a copy, especially since it’s prom season. 🥰
This is going to be a busy editing week working on my #RevPit winner’s book, chatting with authors on calls, and doing other Amethyst Ink client work. I’m so ready. 💜💎
✨ Chapter 80 of Literary Blend ✨ I’m super excited to share today’s conversation with Victoria L. Bilstein, who is both an author and mortician, about portraying death and grief accurately, whether you write horror or not. Listen on your favorite podcast platform: demimschwartz.com/literary-blend 🥀

It has been a busy day working on in-line comments for @jaymiwrites.bsky.social’s #RevPit manuscript. I love Ayla. 💜💎
Hi #TeamAmethyst, I’ve sent emails to every single one of you. Yay! If you didn’t get one, check your spam, and if you still don’t see it, let me know. Thank you for submitting to me this year. #RevPit 💜💎
Hi #TeamAmethyst, I’m about 2/3 through sending emails to all of you. Thank you for your patience. My goal is to finish by Friday, so you all have your emails before the weekend. I’ll let you know when I’m finished. 💜💎 #RevPit
My Amethyst Ink authors aren’t just clients to me. We’re, like, professional besties. Some of them email me random stuff. Like tonight, one who noticed I was super obsessed with the Artemis 2 mission emailed me like have you read any of these space books??? So, that’s the vibe in Amethyst land.
Hey, #RevPit friends, just a reminder that the other editors and I are always here for you guys, and you can reach out to work with us at any time. 💜💎
