I am open to queries. I repeat: I am open to queries.
What do I want? Who knows. I mean, I do know. Maybe some fae, some smutty fantasy romance, maybe some gay witches, I don’t know let’s also throw in a himbo or two.
I am open to queries.
That is all.

I want something that will break my heart. Sobs outside of a movie theatre parking lot. Hands shaking, trembling before a huge moment. Screaming for help through small physical actions people don’t pick up on. Contemporary MG, YA or NA with big stakes & family drama.

Literary Agent
Oh what I would give for some YA and crossover historical dramas. I’m talking period pieces, assassin stories, retellings set in their original time periods, royal courts and political intrigue 👑
Please give me books where I can fan cast this man
#mswl

Literary Agent
I would love to work on a high concept, beautifully aesthetic YA fantasy, period drama, spy or boarding school story with series potential #mswl

Literary Agent
I’m interested in looking at college stories. Early college years. Awkward teens transitioning to “adulthood” and having their firsts. People going too hard with their freedom and designing dorms and new wardrobes and trying new clubs to navigate unknown identities #mswl

Literary Agent
The only reason I acknowledge the holiday of Thanksgiving is because of OG Gossip Girl. It’s the season for mess and I want these vibes, outing of secrets, the Jason Derulo background. Pure art.
I badly want contemporaries w/ensemble cast chaos

The Owl House is, and will probably always be, my god tier of children’s media. The found family. The humor. The magic and demonic world building. The middle grade storytelling that is actually universal and so smart and witty. The humor and heart. The rep. All of it. #mswl

Literary Agent
Hi🧍🏽♀️I’m opening to queries soon!
I took a break to dive deep into projects on my list & also read/watch new media I fell for.
I have an updated #mswl for querying authors to look at on my website, but I also wanted a 🧵thread below for anyone thinking we might make a rad team!

Literary Agent
To the townspeople of the #amquerying
I once again dug deep inside my soul to create another completely unhinged, chaotically wild, probably will need to unpack in therapy No Context, Visual Only #MSWL
Wondering what my agent vibes are? Check it out:

Hi writers🧍🏽♀️I’ve been doing a lot of client work & reading truly incredible submissions and overall just have been wildly busy. I’ve nearly gone through all outstanding queries and will dedicate October to submissions so please know you’ll hear from me soon if you haven’t yet!
Also, I’m reopening to queries again in November and I’ve been building, yet another, totally unhinged no context, visual only #mswl and it’s updated and even more chaotic. You can check out my old one here and judge me accordingly emilykaitlin.com/post/a-no-cont…

✨To all the picture book authors of the world✨
I have been closed to unsolicited picture book subs for a while, but now, I feel really good about bringing on a few authors.
I’ll be open to picture book subs for a small window August 10-Sept 1 only
My dream PB #mswl below:

Literary Agent
I stayed awake until 1am reading queries, prompting a procrastination desire to create a no context, visual only, super unhinged #mswl
If you’re thinking of querying me in the future & wonder if you should avoid it bc I too am unhinged, look no further

Listen up all you beautiful writing beans! While procrastinating, as I do, I finally finished my website and #MSWL for everyone to see! I'll update it as my projects change & once I learn to code better you'll see my lit family of authors. For now, enjoy emilykaitlin.com

I am on a roll reading queries right now and I’m so so desperately in the mood for a warm, cheesy #YA meet cute or some really cool historical fiction. Where you at #amquerying authors? Also please please Black authors, send me your ideas and let me hype you up! #MSWL
