    I've updated my #MSWL for 2026! I'm still very focused on Crime, Mystery, Suspense, and Thrillers, but I'd also love to find upmarket/BookClub, Literary fiction, and True-crime! manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/tomm…

    I’m up to 83 rejections this year…I suppose I should push for 100 and see what happens

    I have a 140 page story collection ready to submit and my wife just congratulated me on writing a book and I demurred, saying it’s not a book until it’s published...and honestly, I’d rather she be right, and I think we should celebrate these accomplishments, yes?
