Adam is looking for #MG fiction featuring #LGBTQ characters in the vein of SIMON SORT OF SAYS by Erin Bow! He is especially interested in contemporary, horror, light fantasy, and graphic novels. Check out his #MSWL and querying information below:

Sleep is important but...I stayed awake dreaming of a compulsively readable thriller about a famous woman's descent into madness, drawing heavily from Perfect Blue and Black Swan. Agents if you have it, send it. #MSWL

Please someone send me a grownup Veronica Mars. I'm talking that hard boiled-but-not, sassy detective with a heart of gold. A cast of secondary characters that capture your whole heart and a star-crossed romance with an HEA wouldn't hurt either. #MSWL

I think I'd like to see a ya or mg that's actively anti-not-like-other-girls. I don't even know what it would look like but I'm tired of the trope. #mswl

A moodboard for @clgslr 's current #MSWL !

Carleen is looking for wilderness settings—especially in the PNW—across adult contemporary genres! 🌲

FYI: I am closing to #submissions (along with the other agents @watsonlittle ) on December 18th for the holiday break. I'll be opening again on January 15th with a slightly refined #MSWL - thank you!
