Speaking of learning (I'm a Virgo, leave me alone), I love working on nonfiction books. It's difficult to list specific topics because I don't know what I don't know! Teach me something cool. #MSWL
Literary Agent
I'm also hoping to see more graphic memoirs and graphic nonfiction. Such a fantastic way to learn about people and things. #MSWL
Literary Agent
When it comes to graphic novels (for all ages—MG, YA, or Adult), most of the submissions I receive are fantasy. I would love to work on more realistic stories. Maybe even some horror! #MSWL
Literary Agent
More YA things you should send me: best friend stories! LGBTQ+ rom coms! eerie mysteries! #MSWL
Literary Agent
For Young Adult, my biggest #MSWL is fun, lighthearted novels by POC and LGBTQ+ writers. I see so many submissions for issues-based stories—which we need, don't get me wrong—but I want to put a little more joy into the lives of teen readers who already deal with so much shit.
Literary Agent
And to round out my Middle Grade #MSWL with some speculative items: chilling horror is always my jam, and I want to read your luscious, weird, wow-this-worldbuilding-is-fantastic fantasies.
Literary Agent
I would also love contemporary Middle Grade novels with a strong emphasis on nature: animal stories, environmental themes, unusual settings. #MSWL
Literary Agent
I'm consistently wishing for more Middle Grade novels in my inbox, especially ones based on myths and traditions from various cultures. I love learning about regional histories, real or not, through stories and lore. #MSWL
Literary Agent
Even though I'm closing to queries in a few days (Oct 1), I'm still going to share a few specific #MSWL items because a) it's too fun not to and b) maybe someone out there is currently working on the perfect book to send me in the new year! 🤞
Literary Agent
✨ I’m closing to queries on Oct 1 for the remainder of the year and will re-open in early 2020 (exact date TBD).
So if you have something ready to send my way, please send it this month! My manuscript wish list (#MSWL) is linked below. ✨
