Look, I know publishing is a business and they want to make money, but I'm sure there are tons of amazing books out there by midlist or debut authors that would be massively successful with the marketing we know this book is going to get.

All text: Actor and former governor of California Arnold Schwarzenegger and James Patterson’s THE PROTECTOR, set in present-day Los Angeles, in which a Catholic priest and military veteran is new to a small parish plagued by violence and must confront the criminals threatening the community he’s vowed to protect, even as his courageous actions endanger his life and reveal clues to his mysterious past; pitched as inspired by the authors’ shared Catholic background, to Little, Brown.

For #kidlitartpostcard I wanted to take a sec and announce my new agency, Marsal Lyon Literary! I still have the same agent, @annmrose.bsky.social so give her a ping! I am working on some new books, portfolio pieces and just uber excited to share them with you. melaniecordan.com #melArt🔥 #kidlit

There are a lot of #MSWL posts going around and I love that!
I just want authors to remember NOT to self reject.
Your book doesn’t have to be a perfect match to a MSWL
If the agent takes fantasy and you have fantasy take your shot! ❤️
Don’t stress it!

Hot Tip for Writers who are querying: Have someone who is unfamiliar with your story read over your query and synopsis. If they don’t understand what the book is about or how the story unfolds neither will an agent.
