As you know, we love experiments—and this new one is the biggest full-cast, “Ready camera three? GO CAMERA THREE” (yes, we like to pretend we’re making live television) thing we’ve attempted yet.
In the past year at our panels of amazing work, we’ve had our faculty members choose one favorite per event to win our Agent Choice Award (which, yes, we’re hoping they’ll use in their query bios—it’s an honor! If you’ve been to our panels, you know the average quality of the work is excellent, so this is quite a compliment).
This Wednesday, we’ll be gathering these amazing writers (and the agents who nominated them!) together for a party meets recording session meets “And you get a query critique! And you get a…” What does this mean for you, our faithful audience? You’ll soon have an audio resource to get that excellent query voice (and it *is* a voice, the way book jacket copy is a voice) and rhythm into your head, so you can more easily write with that energy. (Yes, we are convinced a lot of publishing is learned by osmosis.)
And if you happen to be one of the many agents and editors who follow MSWL, you’ll have a hands-free (we hate holding onto the subway pole while balancing a Kindle) listening showcase of talented, audience-tested, agent-recommended writers right in your earbuds, sorted and timestamped by genre.
If you won an award and we you haven’t heard from us, we might have your old contact information. Please get in touch ASAP with the name of the panel and we’ll do our best to have that agent show up for you, too.
In the meantime, keep being amazing. Hope to see you there!
All best,
Jessica & Julie

About the Instructor
Jessica Sinsheimer
Jessica Sinsheimer has been reading and campaigning for her favorite queries since 2004. Now an agent at the Context Literary Agency, she is always on the lookout for new writers, and–whatever the age group–she tends to love contrast: highbrow sentences and lowbrow content, beautiful settings and ugly motives–the books that are beautiful and scary, heartbreaking and hilarious. She loves secrets, scheming, revenge, plotting–and stories that have to be written forward and backward to make sense (SHE LOVES discovering a very cleverly planted clue that makes sense in retrospect). She’d love more of what she thinks of as “Rom Com 2.0” works–powerful, nerdy women with humor and heart. More underrepresented characters, please–especially those with power, agency, and happy endings.
