Moe Ferrara

📚 YA: I'm focusing more on genre fiction — namely fantasy and horror with an emphasis on works by authors from marginalized communities. I still have a soft spot for reimaginings (like...Count of Monte Cristo. Or if someone were to update Christopher Pike's The Midnight Club...)

#MSWL - #YA: I've become so much pickier in terms of genre fiction because I want to see something new. Give me a new twist on court intrigue or "chosen" ones. More contemporary fantasies/magical realism. Retellings of new/different stories.

It's only been forever and a day but I finally updated my #MSWL profile! Now including select genres of narrative non-fiction — and basically send me all your queer fiction or creepy, lyrical middle grade books! manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/moe-…

Me personally, I'm always looking for MG contemporary and fantasy genres. I'd really love to find my creepy coraline-esque book as well as a first crush LGBT book (a la the animated short 'In a Heartbeat') #AskAgent #MSWL

It's true! I'm open to queries so hit me with your best shot: querymanager.com/query/mferrara

Not only that—but I'm now open to picture books! My list is definitely children's focused in PB, MG, and YA -- but I'm selectively looking at Adult SFF and romance! #MSWL

With The Breakfast Club on in the background today, I’d love a SciFi/Fantasy themed Breakfast Club (MG or YA only!) #MSWL

YA: 3 separate wants - contemp Leverage heist novel. Retelling of Count of Monte Cristo. Lush fantasy with a gorgeous magic system. #MSWL

YA want: Give me your #RiseUp books. Contemporary or fantasy setting. Let me see that not everything is awful. Bonus points for LGBT+ #MSWL

In YA: leverage heist novel. Retelling of Count of Monte Cristo. Lush fantasy with a gorgeous magic system. #MSWL #BookEndsChat

PS! MG/YA things I love: LGBT themes, accessible scifi, fantasy, heartbreaking contemporary, retellings (but not all in 1 book) #MSWL #dvpit

For fantasy (MG, YA, adult) send me things with lush world building and unique magic systems. Give me different spins on usual tropes! #MSWL

#Adult #MSWL: ALL THE ROMANCE (taboo, straight or LGBT, paranormal [no vampires!], historical), SciFi/Fantasy (light only please!)

#YA #MSWL: Horror (a la Christopher Pike, psychological—no jump scares) SciFi/Fantasy (Character driven + lyrical voice) Contemporary (any!)

#MG #MSWL: Horror (a la Goosebumps/Coraline), Fantasy (lyrical voice & atmospheric worldbuilding), Contemporary (esp with LGBTQ issues)

Look -- we all have our wishlist posted! #MSWL. Stay tuned for a few things from me on Twitter later today!!
