We’re open to everything (except AI books, obviously). But if you want to make us feral with excitement, check out our seasonal wishlist. The next one drops March 1. Think of it like a cheat code for our inbox. We’ll still read everything though :) #MSWL #AmQuerying

Poets & prose writers, scholars, students, editors, publishers! Submit session proposals for Lit Youngstown's 9th Fall Lit Fest Oct 16-18 in Youngstown, Oh! by Feb 28 #writingcommunity @prairie-schooner.bsky.social @tinhouse.bsky.social @blackearthinst.bsky.social @nobabooks.bsky.social

CRISIS: All my G2 pens are GONE. Just... vanished. Now it’s just me, a felt tip, and the fragile grip I have on this workday. Accepting thoughts, prayers, and emergency resupplies. 🚑✍️

There are things agents fear. Not ghosts or even the query queue itself. But this will make a clichéd chill run down my spine every time. 📜 “My book is like nothing you’ve ever read before.” 📜 “No title yet, but trust me.” We say this w/ 🖤: Be brave. Be clear. Give us a hook, not a mystery.

Today is our birthday! Electric Sheep has been hosting guest authors, craft discussions, and readings for 4 years! We've had more than 100 guest authors & editors, and we've read & shared almost 1000 spec short stories & articles. Thanks to everyone who has visited & supported us!

Important RL team update: the real boss is a cat. 😼 Meet Larry, our office overlord. He: 🐾 Rejects queries based on vibes 🐾 Sleeps through meetings (still has opinions) 🐾 Once requested a full but it was just the heating pad instructions If he sits on your query? That’s either an honor or a threat.

#MSWL: Psychological thrillers. If I don’t start doubting everyone by chapter three, what are we even doing? Bonus points for unreliable narrators, characters making very bad decisions, and at least one scene where I gasp out loud. 🔍😵 #amquerying

#MSWL: Thriller rom-com? Mystery rom-com? Say less. High stakes, sharp banter, and just enough danger to make the romance hit harder?! If your book feels like a heist, a scandal, or a crime gone delightfully off the rails with kissing? Yes. 🔪💋 #amquerying

Hello Friends! Welcome to #MSWL Day 2025! 🎉 This is our first #MSWL Day on Bluesky, and we have new features to share! Rather listen than read? Here’s a how-to! vimeo.com/1055984106 Here’s our Bluesky search guide: youtu.be/LnZt1MCjKZE?...

Hey, it's @questpit.bsky.social day! It's going on right now! Be sure to get your pitches in and check QuestPit.Carrd.co for the rules! #WritingCommunity #AmQuerying #Writers #WriteSky

Word of the day is ‘arsle’ (19th century): to have a distinct sense of going backwards.

#MSWL posts incoming. #QuestPit lurking in progress. Mood: caffeinated, mildly feral, desperate for our next favorite book. If you see us aggressively liking pitches, mind your business (or send us your query).

#MSWL: Nonfiction that turns me into that person at dinner parties. Cold War spy games, true crime that makes me triple-check my locks, pop culture deep dives that make people say how do you even know this? If it sends me into a research spiral at 2 AM, I’m in. #amquerying (1/n)

omg omg omg It's #mswl day!!

I’m just a GIRL ON SUB standing in front of my inbox asking it to fill up with OFFERS. Today I'm one step closer to sharing my next book with you! My fab agent, @roseclifflit.bsky.social put together a terrific list of potential editors & this is happening! #booksky #writers #readers #onsub

This was so much fun!! Thanks for having @jessicaberg.bsky.social

Okay @querytracker.bsky.social. About time to join 2025 and replace the Twitter links on agent profiles with Bluesky. Or just delete the Twitter ones. Yes, I'd like to see their social media feed to get a feel for them but I don't want to support fascists while doing so. M'kay thanks.

Happy New Ears to those who celebrate. I will be keeping my regular ones, they aren’t worn out yet
