I know my #MSWL is long and very specific, but we do have agents with similar taste in ALA. My aim is to provide some extra information about my where my taste diverges from others. That said, unless your manuscript has elements that are in my anti-MSWL, I'm always eager to be surprised.

I'm open to queries again! It's a bit earlier than I thought, but since I was nearly at inbox zero, I decided to go ahead and open. Here's my updated #MSWL : www.azantianlitagency.com/about-us/tha...

You can query me here: querytracker.net/query/thaisa...

Since it's #MSWL day and I intend to open to queries soon (as soon as I finish considering the submissions still in my inbox!), I updated my #MSWL profile:
manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/thais-afonso/

I'm going through such a Cozy Fantasy phase right now. Please send me all the Cozy Fantasy. Here are some recent favorites. #MSWL

The Teller of Small Fortunes by Julie Leong
The Spellshop by Sarah Beth Durst
Grave Situation by Louisa Masters
Half a Soul by Olivia Atwater

Finally watched Apple Cider Vinegar and loved it (I love mess), but now I can't help but want a book where the health influencers are vampires and the magical cures are just ... becoming undead. #MSWL

In celebration of #MSWL day, I also updated my profile on the Manuscript Wishlist website: www.manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/th...

This is what I'll be looking for when I open to queries later this month. 😊

If you feel like your book fits any of these items, you can send a query to querytracker.net/query/ThaisA..., just make sure to mention which #MSWL item is a match.

I've been reading Freida McFadden's The Crash, and would love a look at anything similar to it. #MSWL

I also would love a lesbian thriller that could be comped to Master of the House or Steadman's The Family Game. #MSWL

In Thrillers, I’m still looking for anything that could described as BIPOC Dan Brown. But I’m also generally on the look for a super fast-paced thriller with enormous stakes, anything about a normal person (no law enforcement or military) going against those in power. #MSWL

I’m still looking for a BIPOC vampire horror with social commentary. Anything in the vein of The Wicked and The Willing. #MSWL

I would especially love to find a sapphic romantasy on the fun, smutty side. Think Sierra Simone’s The Fae Queen’s Captive. #MSWL

I prefer my spice on the kinkier side, and I would really love to find a romantasy with consensual, sex-positive, queer-friendly BDSM. Authors with deep knowledge of kink beyond D/s and light dirty talking will definitively have me picking up that manuscript so fast. #MSWL

Anything with a complicated, decades-long (or even centuries long if Fantasy/Paranormal) lesbian situationship at the core of the story. Yes, I’m an Agatha All Along fan. #MSWL

A queer rival-to-lovers sports romance. #MSWL

A high-drama, high-stakes romance. Crash Landing on Love went triple-platinum at my house. #MSWL

Dark Academia from Global South writers, and Black and Indigenous writers in the Global North. #MSWL

For #MSWL Day, here are some very specific projects that would make me squeal if I saw anything like it in my inbox 🧵

This a great time to remind everyone I very much want any and all BIPOC thrillers that can be comped to Dan Brown. Query me with it!! #MSWL

Specific #MSWL request: Can somebody pleaaase send me a high-heat romantasy on the kinky side of things? Not dark. Just sex-positive and queer-friendly (gender essentialist language is a big no for me) high-heat in a fantasy/paranormal setting.
