I look forward to reading your work if you think I'm a good fit!

I'm also open to illustrators. AND I'm looking for picture books, BUT ONLY author-illustrators.

(I'm sorry to PB, MG, & YA authors. I'm not capable of reading everything at this time, but hope to open more widely in the future. For now, I'm taking referrals only).

Upmarket! Something commercial w/gorgeous writing, featuring people who are not okay bc sometimes we're not okay. I want to feel the spectrum of emotions. Break my 💔, tell me the story out of order or backward. Familial or friendship stories or just a strong cast of characters.

Mystery! I still would love to see if anyone has written a Living Single/Golden Girls with a dead body.

Something outside of the Law & Order procedural (even though I'm a fan).

I'm open to speculative elements in this genre as well.

I am also really looking for twisty, wildly intense Thrillers (or thriller-ish). Especially those that examine our social construct like GET OUT.

ESPECIALLY those told from diverse voices.

Not sure if you know this about me, but I LOVE 💗 stories. I will ALWAYS be open to adult Romance in my inbox. In ALL subgenres—contemporary, romcom, fantasy, stories w/speculative elements.

But I’m also open to other age groups & genres. Here’s a little more of my #MSWL

It's #MSWL Day, & what I'm most excited about right now is LOVE stories! Please, please gimme 'em! Also, I'd love to see thrillers in the adult & YA space. There's more–because I'm greedy like that–so check out the new manuscript wishlist page. Thanks! manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/Jemi…

Happy New Year, Everyone!

Until then, you can check out my updated #MSWL: manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/jemi…

Or: publishersmarketplace.com/members/Jemisc…

On Monday, the 19th, I'm opening up to queries. I've updated my #MSWL here: manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/jemi…

I'll be open to a lot: Illustrators, MG, YA, and adult fiction, but let me share some things I'm really like to see.

Starting today, I am going to open my query inbox just to illustrators.

In the next several weeks, I will open widely, but I want to consider the fulls and maybes I have first and then create a new #MSWL. Until then, I am currently looking for #kidlitart #illustrators.

This is not everything. Not at all. But it's a start. Check out my updated #MSWL here: andreabrownlit.com/agents.html

October is my birthday month, so please gift me with your stories. My query box will open at midnight EST: querymanager.com/query/Jemiscoe

Wait! Did I tell you I LOVE ghosts or witches? No? Well, please share all of your ghosts and witch stories. 👻 🧙‍♀️ #MG #YA #A #MSWL

#illustrators, I am here for you! I'd love to see your art, from PB to MG to YA.

I'd also like to see author-illustrated graphic novels. My kids love them. I love them. And I will continue to be an advocate for the fun and creativity and hard work that goes into them. #MSWL

I want an MG and YA novel in verse, one where the characters talk about anything and everything but realize something profound. #MSWL

I know, vague, right? I don't know. Surprise me!

I want an atmospheric thriller, where bodies are piling up, and the investigative search has the potential to kill, but at the last minute, there's a plot twist that no one saw coming. #ItExists #MakeItHappen #MSWL

I want a YA or Adult Rom-Com that is so cute, funny, and steamy. If yours includes an interracial relationship, I'll be your best friend! And when it comes to love stories, I am especially open to LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC. #MSWL

In MG, YA, and Adult, I want characters who have to fight to be good because being bad is so easy. #MSWL

I want single parent stories, whether mom or dad or grandparent, that could cover themes of grief, abandonment, acceptance, or community, but ones where the character arc starts and ends at home. AND, if it's BIPOC, I want them thriving, y'all! #MG #YA #MSWL
