Tomorrow is #MSWL Day!

Just a little reminder that tomorrow on Twitter is Manuscript Wish List Day!


This great event put on by Literary Agent, Jessica Sinsheimer, and writer, KK Hendin, encourages agents and editors to share their wishes for what types of manuscripts they'd like to see in their inbox!


All day long you will see tweets from agents/editors, followed by the hashtag, #mswl. This indicates that they want to share their current wants and needs for their list.


A couple of things of note:


1) THIS IS NOT A PITCH EVENT.  It is simply a way for agents/editors to share with the writing community what types manuscripts they are seeking right now.


2) DO NOT @ an agent with questions in regards to their wish list. Go to their website if you need more submission information.


3) All is not lost if you can't follow during the day. Each agent/editor's wish list will be noted and included on the Agent and Editor Wish List page on Tumblr. Here is the link with more details and a few FAQs : http://agentandeditorwishlist.tumblr.com/about


So follow along tomorrow if you can! And here's hoping an agent out their is seeking your exact type of manuscript!

Social Media Deluge

Does it ever feel like you spend more time trying to promo yourself and your books than you do actually writing them? There always seems to be a new way to connect with readers or some fun way to procrastinate explore the internet.

I'm on Facebook (with a personal profile, a "professional" profile, AND an author page); Twitter; Pinterest; several blogs; a website; I still have a Myspace page I think; and now.....Tumblr.

I signed up for Tumblr quite a while ago. And then never did anything with it :D But it's something I've been encouraged to try so I signed up for a new one and have been trying to figure out what I'm doing ever since lol

Is anyone else out there on Tumblr? Do you have any tips? Because I really have no idea what I'm doing :D

This is me - http://authormichellemclean.tumblr.com/

Come friend me, follow me, take my hand and show me how to use the crazy thing :D I can definitely use all the help I can get.

I'm curious....

Writers - how much time do you spend on social networking sites? Which platform is your favorite or do you find most effective?

Readers - what is your favorite way to connect with people and authors that you like?
