As long as I’m open to queries you can send material anytime! It’s definitely in your interest to have your manuscript and query package ready to send when participating in pitch events though!

Hi, thanks so much for your consideration! Both of these are great. The problem for me is when all the paragraphs get smushed together into one huge block of text :)

Okay, I'm officially done looking at pitches. It's been a long day! Can't wait to read all these queries. 😊

I am so sorry, I can’t keep all of the pitches and queries straight! If you’ve revised your query since then, feel free to try me again!

I don’t rep GNs, but I’m really rooting for Rachel to get signed! I loved her recent essay in the Disability Debrief newsletter and would love to see more people have access to her art!

18-yr-old Rachel wants to enjoy college like her peers–seemingly housing & food secure, with family. Instead, an ex-homeless runaway youth, Rachel is thrust into adulthood on her own. To survive, she must rebuild community & confront a dark secret at the root of her new independence. #DVpit #GN #DIS

All right, I think that’s all the info! If you have any questions, I’ll be popping in and out throughout the day and will be happy to answer in the replies! Good luck!

If you’ve revised your book OR your query since I passed on your query, I’m happy to take another look. If not, I’m still probably not a good fit, and you can interpret any requests from me as a mistake 😅

If I request your query and you realize I’ve already passed on it… I’m sorry for the confusion! I don’t remember every query I read and a lot of times it’s hard to recognize your book from the pitch.

If you end up researching me and notice your project has a lot in common with themes I say on my MSWL I’m probably not the best fit for, if I have requested your pitch, please send it! I’ll give almost any idea a chance if it’s written through a disability lens.

If I request your query, please send it to me through QueryManager! My areas of specialization are MG/YA and adult SFF, but I find myself slightly more open to other genres during pitch events. If I request a query from you that is in a genre my QM doesn’t list, please select the closest one.

Hello again! I suspect, based on my schedule for the day + the hashtag bug I will not be as active in requesting queries for #DVPit as I usually am for pitch events, but here’s all my info anyway!

I got it at a Harris Teeter! I know CVS, Costco, and Publix all got shipments this year but you might need to call around to confirm. Also may change depending on state—I’m feeling very lucky NC got any Covid vaccines this year 😅

Soo glad for Crip News, I totally would've missed that Eli Clare has a new book out!!!!! BRILLIANT IMPERFECTION was one of the very first disability theory texts I read and it holds a special part of my heart for that. Cannot wait to get a copy of UNFURL!!

Take action to save telehealth now! You can call or email your member of Congress.

To make this action easier, we have drafted up a sample script/email wording you can use: www.meactions.org/telehealth

If you can’t tell, it’s my annual “maybe I’ll try making body blocks again!” phase. This usually does not go well for me lol

Also now I keep being shocked by how I went around for most of my life not understanding garment fit. I can’t unsee it! And I can’t get over how it’s normal to not know what a properly-fitted garment looks like anymore!

The thing no one tells you about getting serious about garment sewing is that it makes you the most insufferable person to watch TV with. The fit of a garment is a telling story detail and it bugs me to no end when it’s in conflict with the intended characterization

A continuation of the electrolytes adventure: I’ve learned that Liquid IV’s price tag is due to the fact that the salt taste is so well hidden. Top flavors so far for me are Firecracker, Blackberry Peach, and White Peach
