Path2pub (Path To Publication)

Hello, Writers, A 2026 update that along with sharing agent interviews and professional insights, Path2pub is now offering query and first pages critiques! Find more here: path2pub.wordpress.com/path2pub-edito… #WritingCommunity #amquerying

Hi! I'm open to queries once again. You can submit to me through QueryTracker here: QueryTracker.net/query/QueryHal… 😀

Pssst... my inbox is empty👀 I’m open to queries from now until July 7th! Updated MSWL is on my website.

I will never use AI to analyze your query. I will never put your book through AI. I will never use AI during the editing process. #amquerying #writingcommunity

I would love to separate myself from the “apparently agents are using AI to XYZ” discourse I’ve been seeing all day long. Not all agents do that and I hate being lumped into that statement. Rest assured that I will not, have not, and never will use AI for any part of this job.

✨I'M OPEN TO QUERIES✨ #MSWL 🧵 I’m seeking high-concept, voice-driven adult fiction with strong emotional stakes, a clear hook, and broad commercial appeal. I’m drawn to diverse and underrepresented voices, as well as stories that feel fresh, strange, or genre-bending (1/8)

Just to reassure all querying authors: I will never use AI to evaluate a query or edit a manuscript. Just my own brain! Your manuscript is safe with me.

🥳📚IT'S TRUE. IT'S EXCITING. I'M DELIGHTED! 🥳📚 Authors, send me your incredible stories!! MSWL: manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/nina… QueryTracker: querymanager.com/NinaLeon

I have reopened to queries with a limited MSWL (🧵)

After reviewing my query inbox, I’m going to be reopening tomorrow to limited genres and age groups. Among them, Adult and YA thriller, mystery, and fantasy. Stay tuned for a more detailed MSWL!

Since I’m opening to queries tomorrow, I thought I would share the five most common mistakes I’ve seen authors make in their query letters, and how to fix them (a 🧵)

Popping in to say I’m seriously impressed by the quality of queries I’ve received since opening. You’re making this both exciting and incredibly hard. Kudos!

I am officially open to queries! Please use the following link to query me: QueryTracker.net/query/talisham…

Most new writers query too early. The manuscript isn't rigorously edited. They don't fully understand their genre. They haven't nailed their pitch. And they burn through their entire agent list wondering why no one is biting. Before you make the same mistake, ask yourself honestly...is your manuscript REALLY ready to query? With a decade of editing and hundreds of manuscripts under my belt, I've compiled a list of the 7 signs your manuscript isn't ready to publish yet. This isn't meant to discourage you, but to empower you to put the absolute BEST version of your book in front of agents. It's tough out there, and I want you to give it your best shot! youtu.be/79Y1hHVOi9I

Query inbox update: March queries & before are in my maybe pile, getting through fulls slowly but surely! May: about halfway done with responses, some in the maybe pile June: on the first comb-through 💖☺️

I keep saying it but I’m constantly blown away by the talent in my inbox. Y’all are so. Good. #amquerying #amwriting #writingcommunity

Audio has quickly become a huge passion spot within the industry (167% increase in audio readers in the US in the past decade!!!) and I can't wait to bring the endless hours of knowledge and resources I have obtained to my agency colleagues!

Excited to say that I will be attending the Louisville Book Festival on Saturday 10/24 and taking 10-minute pitches! You can register for a session with me at the following link: givebutter.com/c/LBF-LitPitch…

Hello all, a quick note to let you all know I'm no longer agenting, lots of personal things happening in life, so I need to switch my focus. I'll still be around and I'm rooting so hard for my clients to find their perfect representation match, as well as rooting for you all!🥰

I’m seeing a trend of very long query letters. Please aim for ~350 words or less. I promise this is all you need 🙏🏻 #writingcommunity #amwriting #amquerying
