Just tossing this out for a Monday: I would love to see more lifestyle and food/diet books. I am a big cook, and would love to find more books in this area. #mswl
Literary Agent
Looking for inclusive fiction of all kinds. Also still hungry for beach reads and romcom (YA especially, but adult too!) Seeking sports romance of all kinds, & I'm a huge hockey fan! But love football too and am also a sucker for the Olympics, and related books and shows. #MSWL

I just re-opened to queries. I had closed for a few weeks. If you have a submission with me, I'm working on reading everything. My reopening to queries doesn't mean I've caught up all reading! 馃槉 Please see: knightagency.net/submissions pic.twitter.com/Eocb6m7AWWSo what do I want to find, you may ask? Well #amagenting, #amwriting peeps, bring me your fiction right now. Romcom/chick lit, humor, feel-good, queer lit, ya and ya-crossover...hockey/sports. Sports romance. Ya fantasy and romcom. Really want to find queer teen lit. #mswl.

I'm open to queries and currently very caught up. (Hint, hint) I'm hungry for ya romance, queer romance for YA and adult space. Queer fiction in general. Chick lit/romcom. Women's fiction. I'd love a beach read in winter. #mswl

Delving more into my nonfiction #MSWL, I'd love really sharp, intelligent pop culture. Contemporary cultural takes, too, w/ humor, great voice. Looking for some fun new projects to go out with early 2018.

Strong memoir is top of my #MSWL right now.

See previous tweet for #MSWL re: southern fiction. Also eager for commercial-lit fiction. Upmarket, high concept with elegant voice.

#MSWL Two of my favorite romance tropes are enemies to lovers and beauty and the beast. I love it in historical, contemp, LGBT, anything
Literary Agent
#MSWL also contemporary romance/wf with strong voice like THE HATING GAME.

#MSWL Great southern commerical fiction: think Pat Conroy, Mary Kay Andrews, Anne River Siddons. Family sagas, nostalgia, anything southern
