I've set up a website for my side-hustle, freelance editing. If you or someone you know would like my services, they can be found here: samanthaweksteineditorial.sq… Please note that projects I edit freelance are not under consideration for representation and are separate from TLA.

My maybe pile means I've read and enjoyed your query, but haven't had time yet to read the first 10 pages. So, I only request from my maybe pile!

Querying authors: Being on a maybe pile might feel like a rejection reprieve, but isn’t it just some kind of purgatory? Has anyone ever got an offer from being in a maybe pile? And agents - what is it that makes you read a query & not reject it outright?

Hello! I will next reopen to queries from 10/1-10/7, but then I will be closing indefinitely so I can catch up and focus on client work. #amquerying #amagenting

A little advice to @taylorswift13 that sneaks in an update on my own ❤️ story thanks to great @BusinessInsider editor @conz @MsDaniellePerez @penguinrandom & @SWekstein! businessinsider.com/book-abo…

My advice to Taylor Swift after her engagement: don't stop writing about your heartache

I married at 35 and five years later I wrote about the men who had broken my heart. I hope Travis Kelce is as supportive as my husband was.

I'm always on the hunt for deeply romantic stories with a focus on a continuously building chemistry. #MSWL

Lastly, I'd love to see books featuring characters with celiac disease (which I have)--especially in the rom-com space. How does one navigate kissing on a first date when your partner has had gluten? This also goes for other autoimmune diseases and chronic illnesses. #MSWL
