- Reposted by Maeve MacLysaght loves a little gall on gallGM Bluesky! My book #mybook HOTBLOOD! Vol. 1: The Land of Promise was named a Distinguished Favorite by the Independent Press Awards!!! 🌞 www.independentpressaward.com/2026-favorites
- Reposted by Maeve MacLysaght loves a little gall on gallA reminder that I think it's a great idea to set up an email address JUST for your submissions. This way, you won't be in the middle of dinner--or, worse, your birthday! As happened to a writer I know--and get a crushing rejection. Don't give rejections unlimited access to you. Let Gmail help.
- I'm officially CLOSED to queries, folks! Thank you for all the wonderful submissions this year. Authors in my inbox, I'm still reading and will get back to you soon. Authors not yet in my inbox, I'll see y'all in 2026! Stay tuned for updates and a new 2026 MSWL later this year.
- Reposted by Maeve MacLysaght loves a little gall on gallare you also as sick of seeing AI generated posters/flyers/etc in public as I am? I made some Big stickers about it and will be selling packs of them at future shows 🫶
- #amquerying authors, I will be closing submissions between November 24-December 27 this year to, ambitiously, aim for inbox zero going into the new year.
- I will be opening to queries December 1, 2024! As a reminder, I accept queries ONLY via QM: querymanager.com/MacLysaght My previous years' #MSWL stand, but some things I’m particularly on the hunt for are:
- A quick peak at where I am in queries. If you're still waiting, I'm still reading!
- #amquerying authors, due to some (good) changes to real life stuff, I'm going to be closing a little early this year. The query inbox will be closed next Wednesday, 11/19!
- Welcome to the team, @alkcomics.bsky.social! Editors, if you're 🐟scared🐟of🐟the🐟ocean🐟 like me, we'll have something very exciting to share soon
- I'm excited to announce I'm now represented by the wonderful literary agent @mmmlysaght.bsky.social at ACM 🌈🖤✨ We're pitching a queer deep sea horror graphic novel. Hope an editor bites, I can't wait to draw this!

- Hey, authors and artists! Check on your website today! Is is easily searchable? Do all the buttons & links work? Is it up to date & accurate? Have you made it really easy to purchase/preorder/support your published work, or give editors a good sense of what you want to work on?

- Good morning, #DVpit! I'm so excited to dive into your projects. If I 💙 your pitch, please share with me at this link (sub requirements in the link): querytracker.net/query/MacLys... Good luck out there!
- And that's a wrap on #DVpit! Thank you for all the wonderful queries - you put yourself out there, and that's something to celebrate! If I liked your query, I hope to see your pages in my inbox. If I missed your pitch and you think we might be a good fit, feel free to send as well.
- If you got agent/editor interaction on your posts, I would HIGHLY suggest you screenshot/save the link to the post! Being able to remind folks in a year that they interacted with your post is invaluable, and you cant always rely on tech to keep the memory
- Reposted by Maeve MacLysaght loves a little gall on gallA few quick things! Authors, please treat agent interest as an invitation to query, not a requirement. Pitch events are a great way to discover agents who weren't on your radar yet. Another is the @litagentsofchange.bsky.social's Equity Directory: www.equitydirectory.org
