Jem, Literary Agent, Is OPEN To Queries!

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!

I am officially open today. My links are below, which include my detailed #MSWL.

PM: publishersmarketplace.com/members/Jemisc…
Agency Website: andreabrownlit.com/Team/Jemiscoe-…
Query Form (no email subs): querymanager.com/query/Jemiscoe

And then…once I’m officially caught up, I will be opening again. 😂 I’ll share an updated #MSWL in the upcoming weeks.

You can query me starting on Monday at querymanager.com/query/Jemiscoe

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

Since I'm opening back up for queries tomorrow, I thought I'd share some--not all--of my #MSWL must-haves.

1st up, I want a pair of witchy sisters or witchy friends with ancestral magic wrestling angry restless spirits in a dark setting, like a swampy, marshy woodland.

Or, a book that later becomes a show or a movie. #JustSayin #MSWL in #MG or #YA or #A I'm not picky.

Yeah. Okay. Me too! #MSWL

SERIOUSLY, IN ALL DAMN CAPS!!! We need to see this in publishing. Please. Pretty please. Send it my way! #MSWL

Amazing #WritingCommunity, I'm closing my box on 9/1 to focus on my clients' MS, & to catch up on those that have already submitted. I will be open for conferences, R&R requests, & may peek at #PitMad. But, I'll fully open again in Oct. For my #MSWL, go to manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/jemi…

#WritingCommunity, can someone please write a Golden Girls meets Murder She Wrote with a diverse cast of characters. I want to laugh, coupled with the tension of a who-done-it, murder mystery. #MSWL #goals
