Hi, writers! I'm Daniele, a junior agent about to reopen for my 2nd year accepting my own queries (!!!). I'm thrilled to share my #MSWL & updates. Website: dhunteragent.com QM: querymanager.com/ddhunter Original MSWL, most of which still applies: rb.gy/j4umq4

Hi, writers! For anyone still here: I'll be taking pitches at the #PictureBookCreatorConference on January 24th! They've generously given me a discount code to share, DANIELE30. Here's the registration page if you're interested: allthingspicturebooks.com/pb…

For anyone who's still here but hasn't yet found me on the Blue App: I'll be temporarily pausing my queries this Friday, December 20. If you want to query me, please don't feel like you need to rush! I'll reopen in a month or two.

For any editors who may remain here: I'm about to go on sub with a YA contemp. romance about endometriosis. Though I have a list for it already, I want to check to see if I missed anyone! Let me know if you're interested--it's fantastic, in my entirely biased opinion. :)

I’m not likely to be super present here while mourning, as I know so many are. There are a few things I want to say, and please know my heart is with you all. ❤️

4. I’m seeing a lot of hopeful posts on my timeline, and while I genuinely have a ton of respect for that—I’m not ready yet. It’s okay if you aren’t, either.

Feel what you need to feel. We will rise up again when we are ready.

I’m sorry I went quiet on here for a bit! My husband was in the hospital earlier this month. He’s on the mend and I’m working hard to catch up! Thank you for your patience.

Querying writers! I've made an update to my query form: You can now let me know whether you'd prefer a quicker form response, or whether you'd prefer to wait longer for a bit of feedback. If your query was in my queue already, feel free to message me on QM with your preference!

I still only accept queries through Query Manager: querymanager.com/ddhunter/ I'm currently working on early June queries. Anyone who queried before and hasn't heard back is in my Maybe pile. Feel free to check in, but please do so via QM! Email and Twitter check-ins get lost.

Adding onto the thread! I also totally get decision paralysis, anxiety around choosing, or just not having an opinion. It’s an optional question on my form! No answer, “don’t care,” “you choose,” etc. are all totally valid. :)

!!!!!!!! I've been a huge fan of Marissa's for YEARS, and still can't believe I get the privilege of working with her and her beautiful, important stories! ❤️❤️❤️
while I'm still mostly away from this space, I wanted to share that I'm now represented by @DanieleDHunter at @McIntoshAndOtis for all things kidlit! I'm so excited to keep working on chronically ill YA with Daniele's incredible support!

Writers, I want to say this publicly as I've gotten a few anxious messages lately: If you make a few typos in your query/manuscript, or misspell my name, it's truly okay with me! Querying is hard enough, I don't want to make anyone worry about this on top of everything else.♥️

I've worked as a copyeditor for almost a decade, and I know all too well how easy it is for these little mistakes to happen. I promise, I'm not judging you! I work with my clients to ensure things are tidied up before going on sub anyway, and am totally happy to do so.
