If you got agent/editor interaction on your posts, I would HIGHLY suggest you screenshot/save the link to the post! Being able to remind folks in a year that they interacted with your post is invaluable, and you cant always rely on tech to keep the memory.
That's a wrap, #DVpit! Thank you for putting yourself out there. If I liked your query, I hope to see your pages in my inbox. Since I was tied up most of the day, there are likely many I missed, so if you think we’d be a good fit, please feel free to send as well.
Good morning, #DVpit! I am at a conference today so will only be able to dip in sporadically, but I’m very excited to see what you’ve been working on. If I 💙 your pitch, please share with me at this link (sub requirements in the link): querytracker.net/query/MacLys... bonne chance!

A reminder that I think it's a great idea to set up an email address JUST for your submissions. This way, you won't be in the middle of dinner--or, worse, your birthday! As happened to a writer I know--and get a crushing rejection. Don't give rejections unlimited access to you. Let Gmail help.
I'm officially CLOSED to queries, folks! Thank you for all the wonderful submissions this year. Authors in my inbox, I'm still reading and will get back to you soon. Authors not yet in my inbox, I'll see y'all in 2026! Stay tuned for updates and a new 2026 MSWL later this year.
are you also as sick of seeing AI generated posters/flyers/etc in public as I am? I made some Big stickers about it and will be selling packs of them at future shows 🫶
Welcome to the team, @alkcomics.bsky.social! Editors, if you're 🐟scared🐟of🐟the🐟ocean🐟 like me, we'll have something very exciting to share soon

#amquerying authors, I will be closing submissions between November 24-December 27 this year to, ambitiously, aim for inbox zero going into the new year.
I will be opening to queries December 1, 2024! As a reminder, I accept queries ONLY via QM: querymanager.com/MacLysaght My previous years' #MSWL stand, but some things I’m particularly on the hunt for are:
Hey, authors and artists! Check on your website today! Is is easily searchable? Do all the buttons & links work? Is it up to date & accurate? Have you made it really easy to purchase/preorder/support your published work, or give editors a good sense of what you want to work on?
