Hi all! I'm back and working my way through the remaining queries from before I went on leave. I'm hoping to have all responses out by end of the week, but either way, I'll be reopening for submissions on MONDAY (6/10) and will stay open through at least the end of June.

Heads-up: my query inbox will be closing this Friday, Aug 9. It'll reopen when I've caught up on the existing submissions--I'm aiming for November, but we'll see what life throws at me between now and then!

Thank you, all, for being so patient during my medical leave, and as I continue to adapt to my new limitations--it's an ongoing learning process. (Chronic health conditions suck, I do not recommend them!)

Free lunch meetings for query feedback or to ask industry questions are also open again for authors who are BIPOC or who identify as non-cisgendered; just drop me a DM to schedule one. Beyond that, I'm also available at Manuscript Academy: manuscriptacademy.com/faculty-member…

Hi all! I'm back and working my way through the remaining queries from before I went on leave. I'm hoping to have all responses out by end of the week, but either way, I'll be reopening for submissions on MONDAY (6/10) and will stay open through at least the end of June.

Query queue update: I've responded to many over the past week & was hoping to get through all queries before I go on medical leave tomorrow, but unfortunately I didn't succeed. Sorry if yours is still unanswered! I will get back to all once I'm healed, which will be a few months.

I'm now closed to queries; thanks so much to everyone who submitted! I'm getting through these as fast as possible and will let you all know when I'm ready to reopen again.

@SkipAshseed Thanks! Agents don't control the Tracker page, but they are usually pretty on top of updates, so I imagine it will be corrected soon.

@literallycait Thank you! Submitting now. FYI: the main page for you (querytracker.net/agent/5796) still has a note that says "closed to unsolicited queries"

I reopen to queries tomorrow! I'll be open for one week to start, then will reopen again when I've responded to all in that first batch. If you'd like to query, be sure to read through my guidelines in advance: literallycait.tumblr.com/query

@SkipAshseed Yeah, we have to do it manually. It's open now!

@literallycait well, I have learned now that QM does not automatically open for queries at midnight. Guess I'll get some sleep.

I have made it to the new blue site! Follow me there if you can--same handle! I'll still post updates here for as long as it makes sense to, but my hope is to phase it out eventually.

Reopening to submissions soon! Full details about my query inbox and the timeline here: literallycait.tumblr.com/post/725044274…

As Twitter continues to implode, I just want to remind everyone that you can also follow me on Tumblr at the same username. I've been inactive on both for the past six months due to a severe health issue, but when I'm ready to return you'll find query announcements & news there.

Join @EmmaCandon on tour to celebrate the upcoming release of The Archive Undying! Event links can be found here: us.macmillan.com/tours/the-arch…

happy release day to the archive undying, @EmmaCandon’s book that i wrote an entire newsletter about in order to get you mfs to read it.

@LZats Ooh excellent, that's so crucial. I'll show my brother the pic and I bet he can rig it up based on that. Thank you!

@LZats That'd be so kind! I have a kindle paperwhite and also use kindle on my phone, not sure whether those would fit the same shape? My brother has a 3d printer, I'd have to ask him what type it is, though.

Remember this breathtaking commission I got for THE ARCHIVE UNDYING? The artist @drawingkit just broke down her thought process and symbolism, and it is just as involving as her art.

@LZats Fantastic! That's so clever, thank you for sharing! I'll definitely see about trying something like this out myself
