Kelly Van Sant @bookishchick

I'm open to queries for a little bit! querymanager.com/query/kellyvan…

I did a little #MSWL refresh. In addition to my forever loves MG and YA, I'm aggressively seeking occult nonfiction and Adult SFF and contemporary romance!

@bookishchick Hi Kelly, just wondering what kinds of novels you'd like to see, do you handle crime thrillers and fantasy and/or science fiction? All the best for 2022!

Replying to @IsSuspected

Hi! My #mswl is linked in my twitter profile and can be found here: manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/kell…

Right now I'm mostly repping Children's fiction, specifically YA and MG, with a few exceptions.

I'm still closed to queries, but just so you know for when I open back up, I'm on a serious conartist kick. Give me your liars, your card sharks, your stolen identities, your heists, your thieves, your most persuasive criminals. YA and maybe MG. #mswl

I still really really want a YA Orphan Black. Sci-if in a near future, complicated girls and women, great character arcs, found family #mswl

Replying to @bookishchick

If you know me you also know I LOVE heists. Would especially love and all-girl heist book. YA or even MG! #mswl

I want witchy books in YA! Practical Magic, The Craft, The Graces. Something atmospheric and empowering. #mswl

Replying to @bookishchick

Still look for a great upper MG page-turning adventure that makes me laugh #mswl

MG

Kelly (Closed to Queries) @bookishchick

I want a book that's reminiscent of Top Chef, Great British Bake Off, or Pushing Daisies.

Replying to @bookishchick

Or features restaurants or bakeries, or home cooking. If you've got a food-heavy YA or MG in any genre, gimme! #mswl

Upper MG with a whimsical, high-concept premise, lots of adventure and action, and smart, capable, diverse characters. #MSWL

· 8 Feb 2017

A character arc that rivals that of Zuko in Avatar: The Last Airbender. YA or MG. #MSWL
