Annalise Errico

✨I'm now open to queries!✨

I'm looking forward to reading all of your amazing projects!🤗

My #MSWL has stayed almost exactly the same, just a year older. (But note, I'm no longer taking graphic novels.)

That's it for now! My #MSWL is also available here: manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/anna…

And here!: ladderbird.com/annalise-errico

You can submit to me here: querymanager.com/query/annalise…

I look forward to reading all of the fabulous work that comes my way this year!✨

For the most part, my MSWL has stayed the same, but note that I'm no longer accepting nonfiction submissions! I've read so many lovely NF subs this year, but I'm taking a step back in 2023. If you have a NF sub out with me, it'll be passed along to another LB agent!

YA contemporaries! Again, I'm looking for YA that has MCs aged 16-18 in any of the genres listed above! Especially manuscripts that comp to HIGHLY SUSPICIOUS & UNFAIRLY CUTE and I KISSED SHARA WHEELER.

Commercial contemporaries! Any fiction that features queer/BIPOC characters finding their way in life is for me! Think LUSTER, IT'S BEEN A PLEASURE, NONI BLAKE, or the fabulous genre-hopping THE VERIFIERS.

Historical YA! Think under-explored BIPOC/queer stories like LAST NIGHT AT THE TELEGRAPH CLUB or THE DOWNSTAIRS GIRL and fun, academia-heavy gothics like ANATOMY!

Mystery/thrillers! I'm especially looking for YA mysteries that comp to Holly Jackson, Courtney Summers, and Tiffany D. Jackson! For Adult, I'd love to see historical mysteries like DEAD DEAD GIRLS, academic mysteries like THE IT GIRL, and fun thrillers a la Stacey Willingham!

Upper-YA & Adult Fantasy! Think historical reads like THE LAST MAGICIAN, A MARVELLOUS LIGHT, and BABEL and/or fun queer/BIPOC contemporaries like CARRY ON or LEGENDBORN. I'm not looking for epic/high fantasies, but send your grounded fantasies my way!

Historical romances! Anything that comps to Evie Dunmore, Cat Sebastian, or Mimi Matthews with a queer, feminist, and/or BIPOC focus is for me! Also send holiday historicals like A HOLIDAY BY GASLIGHT my way!

Contemporary romances! I'm looking for book-heavy reads like BOOK LOVERS; career-heavy reads like THE EX TALK; romances that talked grad school like LOVE IN THE TIME OF SERIAL KILLERS; romances that explored fandom like SPOILER ALERT; and sweet & emotional reads like REEL!

Academia! Forgive me for desperately missing university, but I'm still looking for all of those old-book vibes. Dark academia historical mysteries; professor MC/love interests a la DANI BROWN; and an abundance of libraries!

That's it for now, friends! My updated #MSWL is also available here:

I look forward to reading all of the fabulous work that comes my way this year!✨

YA! I'm focusing in on upper YA this year that appeals to the crossover/new adult space. I am looking for YA mysteries/thrillers; graphic novels; fantasies (see above); historical; and contemporary! Anything above I'd love to see in an YA-appropriate setting!

Contemporary! Any fiction that features a queer/BIPOC character finding their way in life, especially in that new adult space, is for me! Think "Luster", "Such a Fun Age", or "It's Been A Pleasure, Noni Blake"

Mysteries! I adore mysteries that rework classics like "The Wife Upstairs" or "One by One". Give me all your queer/BIPOC historical mysteries such as "Dead Dead Girls". I want queer/BIPOC Agatha Christie, friends!

Nonfiction! Anything with a queer or feminist bent is right up my alley. Think "We Keep the Dead Close"; "In the Dream House"; "Eloquent Rage"; "Know My Name"; and "Romantic Outlaws"

Romance! As my genre of choice, I'm especially looking for queer baking rom-coms like Rosaline Palmer; sweet holiday romances; books that tackle relationships + mental health like "The Charm Offensive"; and historical romances like "A League of Extraordinary Women" or Kit Webb

Historical fantasy! While the cozier, the better, I'm also looking for fantasies that sit in the upper YA/new adult space that are firmly historical and grounded. Think "The Last Magician" or "These Violent Delights"

Low-key fantasy! Epic fantasies aren't for me right now, but I'm loving warm and cozy YA/new adult fantasies that don't break the mental bank. Think "The House in the Cerulean Sea" plus "The Ex Hex" - grounded, perhaps supernatural, and heavily dosed with romance!

Books about books! Why is there nothing more satisfying than reading books about authors/writers/editors/booksellers/book lovers? Bring me your queer/BIPOC "Beach Read"s and "Fangirl"s!
