YA/Adult Fiction Agent at DMLA. Hobbit degenerate. She/her. I smile a lot/make inappropriate jokes. ππ¦ ALL SIGNS POINT TO YES β¨ Rep: @samanthashnh

Literary Agent
I want a lifeguard romance. Or maybe a fun friend frolic-y antic summer book centered around this stressful job (in YA or Adult!) #mswl Anyway, I love @bondirescue π

Literary Agent
Iβm just a dumb raging thot who wants an Girls Trip Adult novel for queer BIPOC whores who want to have a good time at the expense of their friendship (before reconciling, of course!) #mswl

Literary Agent
Query Manager is live again!
Good time as any that I am looking for YA and Adult fiction, with an emphasis on Contemporary, Romance (but not necessarily rom-coms), and Horror! #mswl I want funny, sharp, and dark wit the most :)
A thread of recent faves in next tweet!

Kiki @kianangu
Happy Friday!Want to let #amquerying folks know that my current #mswl is exclusively (hyperbole!) sapphic, dark, comedic horror feat. BIPOC casts!
Iβm a fan of Scream, Fear Street 1994, Urban Legend (2001), The Descent
Iβm that goofy bitch from the block w/as big mouth!!!
Needed more words π
:
Looking for this in YA and Adult!
If you donβt have horror, my next wish is contemporary womenβs fiction featuring a main character or ensemble cast in the mid-20 - mid-30s. Iβm not married and donβt want kids; I have hangovers and lesbian drama π₯³ #mswl

Going to keep tweeting this until I see it!! I really want more YA and Adult Suspense & RomCom submissions from BIPOC writers! #mswlPlease this is also my #mswl Lauren just said it first :)

Literary Agent
Writers, I am begging, please give me an Adult horror novel reminiscent of #Archive81. The way the show understands that some of the greatest horror comes from our need to have answers from/about the people we love - and the way weβd burn our own flesh for resolution. #mswl

Literary Agent
I want my own YA or Adult Yellowjackets novel centering queer woman, WHAT THE FUCK, PEOPLE!! Help a girl out π Girls and women are the most frightening creatures in the world and should be actively spearheading their own demises as well as those they love. I WANT TO REP IT #mswl

Literary Agent
Would probably die for an Adult Horror/Psychological Thriller in the vein of Showtimeβs YELLOWJACKETS which is literally all I can fucking think about.
I need more Misty and Taissa in my life. #MSWL

Literary Agent
First #MSWL tweet of 2022:
Would immediately devour: YA horror like RULES FOR VANISHING and Adult Horror like NOTHING BUT BLACKENED TEETH.
Would fangirl for: YA contemporary or thriller teen ensemble girl/queer squad reminiscent of JAWBREAKER
DYING for: fun, modern voices

Literary Agent
Am I bugging or does Clerks set in Space sound flipping fantastic? Stoner aliens trying to save their smoke shop, idfk I want this Adult fantasy novel! #mswl

Literary Agent
I would reaaaally love goofy, comedic adult fantasy in my inbox! I was just rewatching The Hobbit and I just love the quirky character dynamics within that epic adventure. Please! Sweep me away while making me laugh at dorks! #mswl

Literary Agent
I would really love an adult domestic suspense with a more pop/upbeat tone! Not everything HAS to be dark and gritty (even if itβs my natural home). Fuck, letβs get some Jawbreaker vibes up in here, writers! Not just a sardonic alcoholic with witty barbs - actual hilarity! #mswl

Literary Agent
Iβm looking for Adult projects. Hereβs a little about me:
I am 28 year old queer Black/Viet/Laotian woman. Let that sink in.
Iβm broke as fuck & donβt give a shit about propriety/snobby social mores.
Monogamy is meh and unhappy marriages are not my thing.
Keep in mind #mswl

Yβall fucking hate me because all the horror Iβm looking forward to I have to buy. PLEASE SEND ME ADULT HORROR, MY GOD!!! #mswl

Literary Agent
I would LOVE a queer adult WF or genre work that could be compared to Michaela Coelβs Chewing Gum #MSWL

Literary Agent
Where is the Adult Women's Fiction that transforms The Hangover or Bridesmaids into something very black or BIPOC and very queer? #mswl Fuck, give me A Devil Wears Prada that's but with anything but the corporate world. Black, BIPOC, queer only.

Literary Agent
You have a YA or Adult ensemble class in late teens-early to mid-twenties that could be comp'd to Betty? That's for me! For a project like this VOICE should be strong and character(s) has/have to really drive the narrative forward or have a strong plot. #mswl

Kiki Says New Adult is Deader Than Dead @kianangu
For the rest of 2020, Iβm mainly focused on acquiring more adult projects to my list. Particularly Horror, Domestic Suspense thrillers (not FBI/CIA/govt agency), and Womenβs Fiction focused on QPOC in their 20s/30s (no divorcΓ©es).I want like...Broad City but more grit and queer and QPOC!!! #mswl

Literary Agent
James McGowan @jmcgowanbks
If youβre writing anything like THE HAUNTING OF BLY MANOR or HILL HOUSE (or any other adult horror) please keep me in mind! #MSWLAnd then query me so we agent peers have some friendly competition! #mswl
