The querying process was one of the hardest, emotionally draining things I've ever done. Here's a little how I stayed sane. I had a huge support system and there were times I still felt alone. It's rough, but it's worth it in the end. ❤️ Keep going and be proud. YOU wrote a book. #querytrenches

I'm mostly hanging out on threads these days (come follow me over there! Though, tbh, threads is mostly "moe yells about hockey" 🐧 ) Guess who has opened to queries again! Click through the posts here for my visual #MSWL. #querytrenches #queryingauthors #amagenting queryme.online/mferrara

Moe's Spring #MSWL

Seeing me at a conference soon?

Stalking socials to see what I’m looking for when I re-open to queries?

You’ve come to the right place!

I Have A Website!

After almost eleven (!!) years in the industry, I’ve finally joined the 21st century and designed myself a website.

Check it out for my up to date MSWL calls as well as client and illustrator updates. #TeamMoe has some pretty amazing projects coming up!

www.moeferrara.com

Kidlit Updates:

Picture Books & Graphic Novels:
This year I will only consider projects by author/illustrators. No text-only projects. Please include a link to your dummy with your query or else it won’t be considered.

Middle Grade & Young Adult:
While I will always be open to MG/YA clients, this year I’m prioritizing crossover YA and New Adult projects.

Adult Updates:

Yes, I'm getting back into Adult Fiction!

This year, I’m on the hunt for rom-coms, fantasy, urban fantasy, romantasy, light horror, or anything with a speculative bent. Character ages can range from fully adult to crossover/new adult. Right now my MSWL is pretty broad as I hone in on exactly what I want. AKA, unless it’s on my anti-MSWL, send it my way!

Anti-MSWL (AKA, what *not* to send me)
- Women’s Fiction
- Upmarket Fiction
- Literary Fiction
- Hard Sci-Fi
- Military-centric
- Thrillers
- Epic Fantasy

This is a long blog, but it details a year of craziness and also contains resources for those starting out. There’s an index to jump around if you like! #WriteSky #writers #authors #amwriting #amquerying #querytrenches www.rosies-reverie.com/post/how-i-g...

How I Got My Literary Agent

I spent over a year in the query trenches and considered self-publishing. This post details all of that and how I got my literary agent.

If anyone is doing #questpit lists, let me know and I'll add you. I've got to support my fellow authors, after all. Plus, I may not be in the #querytrenches, but a hype event is a hype event, and I'm diving in with my soon-to-be-pubbed book (👀).

I spent some time in the #querytrenches with my first novel. Final stats before I shelved it: - Queries sent: 42 - Partials: 3? 1 was requested 2x. - Fulls: 1 - R&R: 1 (from one of the partials) - All rejections, with a few CNR. Never did the R&R... Honestly, it's better than I expected 😅 (1/3)
