Friendly reminder that I sign most clients from my unsolicited query box & as long as I am open & people have manuscripts in the categories I rep you can send them to me! The same is true for most agents. Pitch events have their purpose but aren’t the only avenue to getting rep.

- Nothing like sending out an innocuous pass on a query and getting told to fuck off. Guess what? I have zero regrets on passing, in fact, I’m feeling pretty good about it.
GIF - I just realized that today marks 5 years as a literary agent at #SpeilburgLiterary! Here’s to many more!!
- I’m so excited @simonteen has finally revealed @sam_schechter and @BookDesignBee’s lastest masterpiece for @ftlukens’ forthcoming 2023 YA fantasy SPELL BOUND. Look at how gorgeous it is…
- The Ramona books are one of the reasons I fell in love with reading. It's hard to describe the joy and nostalgia they still make me feel. Via @ew: Ramona Quimby’s greatest mishaps, in honor of Beverly Cleary’s birthday ew.com/article/2018/0…

- I offer R&Rs on occasion & am always happy to see revised queries (even if I haven’t offered an R&R, I’m okay w re-queries). But if you do this, you need to tell me what you changed in your query letter! Tell me about all that revision work you did, I want to hear it! #QueryTip
- Ah I love pretty visuals! I’ll dip into #MoodPitch today and if I 💜 your request I will provide submission instructions with a link in the comments.
- I don’t even want to retweet the thread about the latest #romance drama because I refuse to give that book a platform, bc I cannot support anything that is not-so-thinly veiled Trump propaganda & if that makes you decide not to query me, I’ll be okay because we’re not a good fit.
- Random thought: Agenting is like browsing in a giant bookstore. There’s thousands of books in there and the ones in my query inbox to the ones on the table, so I have a chance to take a closer look. Some tables I have no interest in, but some call to me. I’ll pick up a book—
- Hi #amquerying friends, I'm reopening to queries at midnight tonight and I wanted to do an #MSWL thread to share my current #top5 wishes and wants. More details can be found on my website at evascalzo.com/mswl 1/7
- The fact that the same people who are so breathless about protecting a life that hasn’t even begun are the same ones who refuse to protect those living is one of those things that I will never ever be able to make sense of.
