Would love Horror that pulls from non-European legends, too. Myths or superstitions and whatnot that feed into this creep factor
For MG, horror that feels realistic to kids. Not something that seems to push things too far
#querytip #amquerying #writingcommunity

Literary Agent
Also HORROR! Mostly just MG and Adult, not YA.
No blood/guts/gore, but psychological and suspenseful.
Love gothic horror
ghosts and ghoulies welcome
Think things like Mexican Gothic, Doll Bones, Oculus, etc.
#querytip #amquerying #writingcommunity

Literary Agent
Really would love more Contemporary Graphic Novel storylines in general, for all ages
For Historical, things that are NOT WW1 or WW2 unless from a POV that isn't German, Polish, English, French, or American
#querytip #amquerying #writingcommunity

Literary Agent
SUPER picky with Adult right now! Mainly contemporary, graphic novel, & historical. Fantasy worldbuilding MUST be on point & want more non-American/English storylines
Para romances not at top of my list
Looking for rom-coms, but selective
#querytip #amquerying #writingcommunity

Literary Agent
YA Graphic Novel
really looking more to contemporary side of things; I have a ton of Fantasy and want to branch out
Slice of life storylines
LGBTQ+ romance/friendships
Scavenger/treasure hunts
Historical 100%
#querytip #amquerying #writingcommunity

Literary Agent
YA Contemporary where the protagonist is BI or ACE. Super want more visibility in this LGBTQ+ area
Would love rivals-to-lovers
Family elements (like family business, remarrying, stepsiblings, adoption, etc.)
#querytip #amquerying #writingcommunity

Literary Agent
For YA, I'm more turning to Historical, Contemporary, and Contemporary Romance. Super selective on Fantasy and Paranormal right now, though would still love to see concepts on witches or ghosts (and vamps if unique!)

Officially open to queries!!!#amquerying #querytip #WritingCommunity pic.twitter.com/TE17elNEBt
quick #mswl update, I am primarily looking for MG (all genres), YA Contemporary, Historical (all ages), and Graphic Novel (all ages/genres). Those are my heaviest focus. BUT, also open to others, so check out my MSWL page!
#amquerying #querytip #WritingCommunity

Literary Agent
I am NOT looking for nonfiction, mystery/suspense/thriller, poetry, novellas, or short stories compilations. Not very interested in sci fi, unless in GN
I also do not want on-page rape, plots heavy in focus on abuse (drug, sexual, physical, etc.) or religion.
#amagenting #MSWL

Literary Agent
For horror (MG and Adult only), think psychological or creature, not gore. I don't like shock for shock sake, and I want characters I can care about. If they die, make me FEEL it
#amagenting #mswl

Literary Agent
I am really dying to find historical fantasy or with spec fic touches. There are SO many locations outside of US/UK that I need to see in historical.
This goes for paranormal, too. Give me more cultural creatures (think the series Trese) #amagenting #mswl

Literary Agent
Adult
GN - all genres but especially horror, dark fantasy, or LGBTQ+
Novels - romance, contemporary, historical, and MAYBE fantasy. Super picky there. Really want horror like Babadook or Midnight Mass or Haunting of Hill House
#amagenting #mswl

Literary Agent
YA Novels
contemporary, romcom, fantasy, historical
If fantasy, you've GOT to bring your A-game. Very picky here for my list in fantasy, but definitely open to so many more contemporary and historical stories!
#amagenting #mswl

Literary Agent
YA GN
again, I am dying for more LGBTQ+ and historical; would love contemporary, fantasy, and horror here, too
Think outside the box. For YA, it needs to be something that totally immerses me in the characters or the world or the emotions
#amagenting #mswl

Literary Agent
MG Novels
contemporary, fantasy, and historical
am open to novel in verse but must be very high concept
#amagenting #mswl

Kaitlyn Johnson - Closed to Queries @RedPenKaitlyn
Hey all! I am planning to re-open to queries on OCTOBER 20! In honor of that, here is a #MSWL thread of what I'll be looking for: pic.twitter.com/tXMSZskZ3LMG Graphic Novels
I want ALL THE MG GN! Looking for slice of life, LGBTQ+ characters and first crushes, kids who can lean on each other and don't run to parents to solve problems.
All genres welcome here #amagenting #mswl
