Okay, on the one hand, running upright is hard! The designers did a genuinely impressive thing here!
On the other, I’m not sure “look how much faster than a human it can go” is terribly interesting framing. Lots of things go faster than humans, and it just gets people’s backs up.
I'll keep going, will you? #writinglife #storytelling #reallife

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
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

To foodies out there: I'm looking for reliable sources of recipes for yummy, low-fat, vegetarian or seafood meals. Suggestions? Only looking for print cookbook suggestions if author has strong online presence (easier to find sample recipes to try, see if recipes suit my budget/lifestyle).

Musing on my past in philosophy #newsletter #philosophy open.substack.com/pub/lonicame...
Yes it is, my contracts specify humans have to do cover art, editing, translation, etc. I will note that to date I have had no real resistance to these contract points by my publishers. So, really, if these points are not in your contract, ask for them (or have your agent ask for them).
Last week, my narration of The Body was released, just in time to celebrate the 40th anniversary of Stand By Me.
Today, we got a lovely mention and review in Kirkus, and I'm just so proud of what we did. This project is deeply personal and special to me, and I love that it's getting noticed.

Ah - yes ! We are "living witnesses" to a moment that cancelled this living witness moment. Many may celebrate the present moment. Many may reevaluate this moment in the future, just like the original @startrekfamily.bsky.social #Voyager episode. This is what makes Star Trek so cool!

Sometimes I open up BlueSky and want to make a little comment about my writing journey, chapter titles, or something fun, then I read the posts in my feed and start to worry about humanity. #writingcommunity #worldissues #reallife
