I've set up a website for my side-hustle, freelance editing. If you or someone you know would like my services, they can be found here: https://t.co/CnDKWnP4qC Please note that projects I edit freelance are not under consideration for representation and are separate from TLA.

Hi All! I'm going on maternity leave at the end of April, but looking to fill out my freelance editing schedule before then. I have availability in March. If you're looking for a professional set of eyes on your project or pitch package, reach out! https://t.co/F7j8beEbRw

My maybe pile means I've read and enjoyed your query, but haven't had time yet to read the first 10 pages. So, I only request from my maybe pile!

[Mel Reynard is on 📷🧵🦋⏰ @MelJRey]

Querying authors: Being on a maybe pile might feel like a rejection reprieve, but isn’t it just some kind of purgatory? Has anyone ever got an offer from being in a maybe pile? And agents - what is it that makes you read a query & not reject it outright?

@Duotrope @seymouragency @StormLiterary @AevitasCreative @bredalot @HowlandLit @writeloudly @LouiseMBuckley I’m closed indefinitely!

[Samantha Wekstein @SWekstein]

@xoxoLibro Check out my bio, I have lots of specifics there! My Linktree can take you to Manuscript Wishlist or Publishers Marketplace.

[Samantha Wekstein @SWekstein]

Hello! I will next reopen to queries from 10/1-10/7, but then I will be closing indefinitely so I can catch up and focus on client work. #amquerying #amagenting

I'm reopening to #queries on Friday for a week, so I'm going to repost a #MSWL thread from Bluesky over here!

[Sabina Nordqvist UPDATES ONLY @sabinanordqvist]

@HerringAli No! I just like to have a deadline so I know when I'll be hearing back and am not just stuck in limbo. But whether that's 2 weeks or 4 weeks doesn't matter. It's a big career decision that should be given the proper time and consideration.

[Samantha Wekstein @SWekstein]

@mango_kelsey It's not completely out of the realm of possibility--but not anytime in the near future.

[Samantha Wekstein @SWekstein]

@IAmAndrewOlsen One of the greats!

[Samantha Wekstein @SWekstein]

@StaciGriffin5 Only in an SFF setting.

[Samantha Wekstein @SWekstein]

@DanahALLLL Doesn't sound right for me. I don't rep thrillers or suspense (unless it's set in an SFF world).

[Samantha Wekstein @SWekstein]

@mnoe Yes, but please make note of that in your intro paragraph.

[Samantha Wekstein @SWekstein]

Lastly, I'd love to see books featuring characters with celiac disease (which I have)--especially in the rom-com space. How does one navigate kissing on a first date when your partner has had gluten? This also goes for other autoimmune diseases and chronic illnesses. #MSWL

[Samantha Wekstein @SWekstein]

I'm always on the hunt for deeply romantic stories with a focus on a continuously building chemistry. #MSWL
