Lastly, high concept love stories and original romcoms are always welcome. I’d love to find new and underrepresented voices in that area that are doing something different. #mswl

And also, contemporary MG that’s full of adventure, humour and heart. There can be fantasy elements but I tend to love real(ish) world settings.

BUT, I’d especially love to find contemporary commercial YA (horror, thriller, romance etc.) that is really nailing whatever genre it is - in a fun and interesting way.

I have opened to #submissions today! 🎉 The WL website bio is still a very good indication of what I’m after - you can check that out here: watsonlittle.com/agent/megan-ca…

In very basic terms, I am on the lookout for adult fiction and non-fiction, as well as non-fiction for age 7+, MG and YA. And, I've said it before - and I'll say it again - if you're writing something like East is East, please send it my way. #mswl

Just FYI, I am still looking for this. I’d love a big messy Asian family drama, in particular. #mswl

Our #submissions have reopened today, check out what I’m looking for this year below and on our website: watsonlittle.com/agent/megan-ca… #MSWL

For MG readers, I’m keen to find a funny, female focused story with series potential (think Louise Rennison or Karen McCombie) and an adventure story for that age group too. I love anything creepy and spooky, so please send anything like that along to me too.

In YA, I’d love to find a big epic love story that’s contemporary and someone writing horror for this age group too. I loved A Good Girls Guide to Murder and would be keen to see anything akin to that.

In Non-Fiction, I’m always on the lookout for good narrative writing and memoir on the issues we’re facing in the world today. I also have particular interest in people writing about film, music and popular culture.

I’m also really keen on black comedy, I loved My Sister the Serial Killer and would love to find writing in that vein as well as big juicy regional family drama that spans generations.

In fiction I’d love to see high concept love stories for both commercial and reading group/literary crossover readers. I’m keen to see historical fiction and gothic horror - think Stacey Halls, Laura Purcell and Bridget Collins.

This is true, I would love to find all of these things! #mswl #submissions

I would loveeee to see some high concept love stories in my submissions inbox, please and thanks! #MSWL #wishlist #submissions

Very keen to see MG and YA in my submissions inbox at the moment...just sayin’ #submissions #MSWL

Things I’d love to find in there include but are not limited to: love stories, contemporary YA, ghost/horror stories and brilliant non-fic proposals about the complex and diverse world we live in. #submissions #MSWL

Very keen to see a brilliant whodunnit in my submission inbox this year... #mswl

Hi, hello. Where is my East is East meets Billy Elliot coming of age novel?! #MSWL #submissions #wishlist

UK based authors are the preference but I'll consider authors from further afield if the writing is strong! #mswl @SCBWI_BI

Actively searching for brilliant children’s authors writing MG or YA (nothing too high fantasy though...). Please get in touch via submissions@watsonlittle.com if you have something I might like! #mswl
