LOVE a contemporary story with an unlikely girl team up, think: John Tucker Must Die #MSWL

Anti-#MSWL I’ve never really connected with stories about writers or writing, characters who want to be writers. Just not for me!

Looking for #YA and #MG with big, complicated family dynamics like #Succession, but kids, think: dramedy. Please though, nothing with tons of POVs #MSWL

Anti-#MSWL : No high fantasy with traditionally Western royal setups. Mostly no high fantasy in general. Similarly, I’m not the right agent for most court intrigue

For anyone who’s seen #TheLastofUs, I need manuscripts that feel like Ellie and Storm Reid’s character falling in love on the essentially last night of their world. NEED. #mswl

I’d also love to see queries from LGBTQIA writers, especially stories of joy and, given everything going on in the world, will prioritize how I can queries from trans writers if you choose to such identify in your letter (of course you do not have to)

First of all, I’m really looking to champion Black, indigenous, and other people of color who are querying and want to go the traditional publishing route. Send all your queries my way and I’ll do what I can to prioritize #MSWL

I’m open to queries as of right now!! You can send me your letter and first 10 pages on QueryManager here: QueryManager.com/caitlinwhite

To help you out, here’s a thread of #MSWL and anti-MSWL for any #amquerying writers thinking of submitting their fiction #YA and #MG

13 horror movies to get to know me, and b/c it's PitDark so #mswl for vibes

I Know What You Did Last Summer
Jaws
Scream
Ready or Not
The Faculty
H:20
The Craft
The Lost Boys
Wes Craven's New Nightmare
The Strangers (Speedman forever)
The Reef
The Invitation (2016)
You're Next

…and you don’t have to submit only work that mirrors your identity (though I’d love to see that too!) but please respect this space. I’m only open to #YA and #MG. Please query me here: QueryManager.com/caitlinwhite

#amquerying #amwriting

Oh my goodness yes, I forgot #Yellowjackets! #mswl

I got my first query comped to #BooBitch 👻 and more like this please!! Other TV shows I’d love comps of:
🏝 #TheWilds
🔫 Teenage Bounty Hunters
☀️ Cruel Summer
💜 Never Have I Ever
🚨 Panic (book too!)

I’m currently closed, but re-opening soon so keep in mind for #MSWL

Absolutely 100% on board with Mandy here. New perspectives and fresh POVs are always welcome. #AskECLA #MSWL

Always looking for teens who work! I waited tables at dinner shifts after school, and there's something unique about the bonds you form in those back kitchens and walk-in freezers! Give me your waiters, lifeguards, camp counselors, retail workers--all! #AskECLA #MSWL

Yes 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

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

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

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

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
