An update: in the six weeks I opened for submission (end of July-end of August), I received almost 800 submission. That's exciting yet overwhelming. I haven't made make much of a dent in the reading yet so please bear with me, and do let me know if you find representation in the meanwhile.

I have not been good at social media since the demise of twitter (RIP), but thought I should come on to say that I am open for queries until end of August.  I am open to most fiction genres (do check our website) so this is not to restrict, but to do a little #mswl (below).

On Friday 28th March, Scotland’s former ‘Tweet Pitch’ event will take place here on BlueSky! Writers - pitch your work to publishers & agents in <280 characters + the hashtag #scotwriterpitch2025. We can’t wait to read your pitches! More info at www.publishingscotland.org/ps-opportuni....

Looking forward to the #scotwriterpitch2025 thingy tomorrow! I'll be keeping an eye on the hashtag and requesting things that sound too up my street to miss!

Editors/scouts: a very specific LBF scheduling thing (tweet?): I've got two Thursday morning slots available which seems excessive. Toilet breaks? Mais non! Drop me a line if you too have unnecessary comfort breaks on Thursday.

What a display! Happy publication day @johnironmonger.bsky.social and THE WAGER AND THE BEAR.

Had a wonderful time taking @johnironmonger.bsky.social around nine, yes NINE, bookshops in Edinburgh earlier in the week.

John Ironmonger@johnironmonger.bsky.social · 2y ago

There are at least NINE amazing bookshops in Edinburgh! Had a wonderful day yesterday visiting them all to sign and promote 'The Wager and the Bear.' Great shops ... lovely people all passionate about books. Thank you 👏@flyonthewallpress.bsky.social @linalanglee.bsky.social

I don’t know about you but it’s Friday night, I’ve got the heated blanket on, a glass of wine poured, a cat beside me, a good manuscript to read, and I’m feeling pretty happy about things 🙌

Is this the good place?
