Jem, Literary Agent, Is OPEN To Queries!

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.

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!

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

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