    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.

    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…

    Hi #SFFpit my plan is to pop in and out of the feed today. If I give your pitch a like, I’ll provide instructions in the replies. If I miss your pitch and you think we’d be a match, I’m open to queries. Links to my QM and #mswl in my bio. Shoot your shot. 💜🚀

    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 keep reading these romance novels where the heroes are 44 and are described as silver foxes but like these heroes are basically now my contemporaries and while a couple of my guy friends have gone silver, most of them have not.

    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

    That is some serious jungle justice.

    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.
