Manuscript Wish List

February 5, 2017Literary, UncategorizedAdult, Agents, Authors, Blog, Completed Manauscripts, Editors, February, Fiction, Guidelines, Instructions, Jessica Sinsheimer, Literary Agents, Manuscript Wish List, Manuscripts, Marketing, Middle Grade, Newsletters, Non-Fiction, Publishers, Queries, Query, Query List, Stories, Submission List, Submissions, Twitter, Writers, Writing In Progress, Young Adultpdpabst

If you don’t know what Manuscript Wish List, you’re in for a treat. This fantastic blog was created by agent Jessica Sinsheimer for agents (and some editors) to let writer’s know what they’d like to see in their inbox. Yes, it’s that simple! So, before you decide to query that shiny new manuscript, check out the website to see if any agents would be a perfect fit. Even more exciting, they’ve created a sign-up for upcoming newsletters!

So when will the next one take place? On February 8th, 2017, tweeting of wishes will unfold on twitter using the hashtag #MSWL. But remember, this IS NOT for direct pitching. Please make a list of agents and/or editors stating your MS might be what they’re looking for. Then send queries as directed by the agent/editor. (If you have trouble locating the information, most can be found on the agency/publisher websites.

Then stay tuned to twitter on February 8th, 2017, as Jessica promises a BIG announcement!

As always, good luck!
