I will be reopening to queries in a couple of weeks, and I'll have a brand new #MSWL to share. Last year's queries brought incredible manuscripts and authors, and I look forward to this year! 🌟
#amquerying #WritingCommunity

Adult: I want romance and mystery! Especially, cozy mystery ✨ Small-town romance, enemies-to-lovers, friends-to-lovers, second chance, any romance, I'm here for it!

Young Adult: I'm actively looking for YA novels, especially contemporary, romance, and mystery/heist. If you have anything contemporary including sports (except for hockey) or food in some way, I'd love to read!

Middle Grade: I'm open to most genres of Middle Grade, although right now I'm mostly looking for a contemporary MG including sports, and a mystery MG ✨

Picture Books: I'm always looking for funny picture books, smart humor and puns; also, books full of heart with a strong emotional impact ☀️

#MSWL update! #agent

Hi! I'm getting more queries than usual lately and thought it would be a good time for a wishlist update! ✨ I will be closing to queries in mid-December but will remain open until then!

Anti #MSWL : I don't want to see manuscripts (any genre/age group) with dogs dying on the page.

For all ages, I am not the best fit for high-fantasy, sci-fi, and horror.

I am opening to Adult Fiction ✨ In Adult, please send me your Cozy Mysteries, Thrillers and Mysteries!
I am also looking for contemporary romance novels!

I would LOVE to find a New Adult Cozy Mystery!
I am also searching for a Young Adult or New Adult heist story!

Young Adult/New Adult: I am open to magical realism, contemporary fiction, thriller (+), mystery, and low fantasy. I am especially on the lookout for a sports story (where sports is the center of the story, like the shows Spinning Out, Pitch).

Middle Grade: I am looking for mystery stories! I also welcome magical realism and contemporary. In contemporary, I am especially looking for a story where sports is a big part.

I am always looking for Picture Books (non-rhyming)! I tend to prefer funny stories and stories that focus on family, but I love a good unexpected narrator!

And in general, I am open to all queries for Picture Book (non-rhyming preferred), MG, YA and NA! I am simply not the best fit for horror, sci-fi or high fantasy.

*YA/NA contemporary including royalty! Desperately looking for a book that gives me the same impression as the tv series The Royals
*YA magical realism with witches (think of The Secret Circle)
*YA/NA sweet romance with a feel of the Love, Rosie movie
*NA cozy mystery

*Picture books Nonfiction and informational, especially anything about people who changed the world but aren't as known for it as they should be
*Picture Books on Halloween (fiction)
*Young Adult Thrillers (anything with a Kara Thomas/Karen McManus feel)

Absolute #mswl!
