It’s a long weekend. I’m traveling & I intend to dig into my queries & submissions. The @bookendslit agents giddy over their #pitchwars submissions are inspiring me. #mswl

I am hungry for more women’s fiction & psych suspense & all fiction featuring POC, trans, & LGBTQ characters. #ownvoices #mswl query me QueryMe.Online/Jessica_Faust

A reminder if you’ve missed previous #mswl I have been looking for more adult fiction & nonfiction by trans authors. There is space for you. QueryMe.Online/Jessica_Faust

I don't get enough psychological suspense from POC and stories about POC. I'd also like to see more LGBTQ psychological suspense. Honestly, this goes for all genres I rep, but right now this is what I'm hungry for #MSWL

If you have an appointment but don't feel your book is right for me don't despair. We can use the time to chat about the industry, querying, and the entire process of being published. #ampitchingI don't usually bite, I often drink too much coffee, and I promise to do my best to put you at ease. Looking forward to meeting with you & I do believe I still have open appointments! #MSWL

I'm also looking for nonfiction, but not memoirs. I prefer business, personal empowerment, and self-help books #MSWL
Jessica Faust @BookEndsJessica · Jan 29
If you're meeting with me at the @SDSUWritersConf I'm mostly looking for mysteries, women's fiction, suspense, thrillers, literary and upmarket fiction. #MSWL

I checked my spam filter and noticed a ton of queries. Please note @bookendslit agents only accept queries through Query Manager for this very reason. Spam filters are tricky. All agents can be found here: bookendsliterary.com/submissions/My Query Manager form can be accessed directly here: querymanager.com/query/Jessica_… #amquerying #MSWL #amwriting #amagenting

In the past year @BookEndsKim & I have embraced the healing power of essential oils. Today I diffused RC from @younglivingeo & it helped. We would love to represent an essential oils guide, especially for parents. Expert required. #MSWL

New #MSWL coming your way. Women's fiction about a mother/child relationship when the mother either over shares on social media or is a social media celebrity, using her children as fodder. Hmmmm

Coming from a Swedish background I'm obsessed with Hygge. I've always lived with rooms full of blankets, candles, books, and comfy socks. My #MSWL are all Hygge related books, especially one on organizing if possible. Cooking?

I have a personal interest in guided journals. In fact, guided journals were the first books ever sold at @bookendslit I would love to see more in my inbox. Guided on gratitude, between parents and children, thoughts on self-worth, personal growth, business growth, etc. #MSWL

Feeling FOMO after reading two new deals--one an Indian-American #ownvoices debut, the other about an American woman and her life in India with her husband. More of this in 2019, please. #MSWL

Drooling over some recent deal announcements over here at @bookendslit Congratulations to all authors, agents and editors. I would love to see more fiction with dogs, especially suspense/mystery/thriller #amquerying #MSWL
Jessica Faust @BookEndsJessica · 11 Dec 2018
I want more diverse books and #ownvoices stories. I'd like to see books set in other countries like CRAZY RICH ASIANS or NEXT YEAR IN HAVANA. #MSWL
Jessica Faust @BookEndsJessica · 11 Dec 2018
I'm also seeking upmarket and literary fiction along the same lines I've outlined above. Suspense, mother/child stories, stories of women and the challenges they face. #MSWL
