You donβt have to disclose how you fitβ¦ (1/2) #amquerying #mswlβ¦and you donβt have to submit only work that mirrors your identity (though Iβd love to see that too!) but please respect this space. Iβm only open to #YA and #MG. Please query me here: QueryManager.com/caitlinwhite

@EMWrightWrites I will also add there is a tendency when looking at YA fantasy to over-simplify with "This fairy tale/classic re-telling is overdone" but when you look at it, it's all white/western retellings. I am 100% open to retellings from new perspectives. #MSWL #AskECLAAbsolutely 100% on board with Mandy here. New perspectives and fresh POVs are always welcome. #AskECLA #MSWL

I will forever want more survival stories-- Hatchet was one of my faves growing up, I loved THE RAFT, OBLIVION ROAD, FIVE TOTAL STRANGERS, etc. If they're snowed in, stranded at sea, stuck in a desert, I want to read it. MG & YA. #MSWL #AskECLAYes same!! And survival + horror! I am dying for something that meshes those in interesting ways like #WilderGirls or #Yellowjackets circa 1996. More for #YAlit. #askECLA #MSWL

I'm not the right agent for stories that center on pregnancy, pregnancy/infant loss, or anything of the sort. If it's a small part, pls use a content warning.
Would also love a CW for animal death or animal cruelty. Not a no-no, but need a heads up! #MSWL #amquerying

Literary Agent
I'm *not* huge on historical (and even '90s is historical now) or high #fantasy, portals, or chosen ones. But if you can really surprise me, I will give it a shot. #MSWL #amquerying

Literary Agent
Love, love #YA girl friendships with bite -- and I don't mean vampires (though I could!). Think: Undead Girl Gang or Marlena for young adults. #MSWL #amquerying

Literary Agent
ALWAYS want #YA whodunnits/mysteries that are puzzle-y or riddle-strewn and have touches of humor and lively characters in the spirit of Agatha Christie, like #TrulyDevious or the Inheritance Games series. #MSWL #amquerying

Literary Agent
I'm looking for #YA survival stories in the vein of #Yellowjackets (the teen timeline), #TheWilds or even something like Wilder Girls. Questions! Mysteries! A hint at mystical or fantastical without going full fantasy. #MSWL #amquerying

Literary Agent
I am open to #MG but fair warning, I am quite picky in this category. Voice for MG is very difficult (congrats to those who are great at it! *ahem* @vickithewriter) and it's almost always the reason I pass. #MSWL #amquerying

To writers who submitted before I closed last time: I still have a handful of outstanding full manuscripts that I am reading, and I will be getting back to everyone soon! Thank you for your patience and understanding through a busy fall and holiday season.And to help #amquerying writers, here's some of my #mswl in a thread.
ALWAYS looking to partner with and support writers of color, writers who live with disabilities (me too!), neurodiverse writers, and otherwise underserved and underrepresented authors in #YA and #MG.

Literary Agent
Hello #amquerying and #amwriting writers! I am open to queries again starting right now! I only accept #YA and #MG fiction at this time. You can submit to me here with your query letter and first 10 pages: QueryManager.com/caitlinwhite
If you need any help, please DM me!
A thread!

I finished #CruelSummer recently, and I would adore a dual-POV #YA novel with not one, but *two* unreliable narrators like that show. (If you haven't seen, start for Gabrielle's "Dreams" in the opening scene, stay for the guessing games.) #MSWL
