Attn: writers seeking agents! My queries are open! Find out more about my updated #MSWL and how to query me here: manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/kristin-ostby/ #amquerying

Literary Agent
Hey guys! Seeing as it's #MSWL Day, I thought I'd pop on and share my wish list. I'm currently on the hunt for super-hooky, fresh MG and YA novels! More here: manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/kris…

Literary Agent
(Addendum: For the rom-com requests above, I always want to see LGBTQ+ stories!)

Literary Agent
And, finally, and in perpetuity until I find it, give me a funny, commercial middle-grade mystery series told in first person by a BIPOC lead! #MSWL

Literary Agent
I’m also interested in a friendship YA or MG that comps to SISTERHOOD OF THE TRAVELING PANTS, but with an entirely BIPOC cast. #MSWL

Literary Agent
I’m curious to see some middle-grade rom-com! Show me your sweet tween love stories! #MSWL

Literary Agent
I’d also like to find a YA rom-com *with speculative elements*—perhaps featuring the paranormal or some light magic. #MSWL

Literary Agent
I would love to find a juicy YA drama or thriller with strong characterizations and a rich setting (BIG LITTLE LIES, but make it diverse and YA and set in a fresh, intriguing location). #MSWL

Hey, writers! I’m once again caught up on queries and eager to find my next client! Here's what I'd love to find... 🧵 #MSWLTo begin with, I’m prioritizing BIPOC creators and, more broadly, writers from marginalized or underrepresented backgrounds, with an eye out for disabled writers. #MSWL

Literary Agent
Writers! I'm query-inbox-zero and eagerly looking to fall in love with some sentences. My freshly updated #MSWL is here manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/kris… and please query me here querymanager.com/query/kristino…. Can't wait to read you soon! #amquerying

Literary Agent

Literary Agent
Happy #IndigenousPeoplesDay. It's an apt moment for agents (like me!) and publishers to recommit to elevating Native voices. Native creatives, my inbox is open: querymanager.com/query/kristino… #NativeVoices #MSWL

Literary Agent
Also note: If you are a screenwriter, I’d love for you to query me with whatever you have, regardless of genre. #MSWL

Literary Agent
I’m on a serious hunt for a funny, commercial middle-grade mystery series a la Stuart Gibbs. Sharp characters, a strong voice, and neat plotting, pretty please. #MSWL

Literary Agent
I would love to find a suspenseful YA mystery/thriller that plays with form, chronology, or narration. It’s is a great genre to play around with social constructs, too, and I love subversion. (Think: Gillian Flynn) #MSWL

Literary Agent
Intersectionality is really important to me, and I’d be very excited to see all of the below featuring characters that are not straight or are not white (or both). #MSWL

Literary Agent
And I gotta tell you, I’m in the mood for happy endings or ambiguously hopeful ones, at least. I know I'm not alone. #MSWL

Literary Agent
Generally speaking, I’m a voice-first reader who is looking for escapism and/or laughter, boundary-pushing, and writers brave enough to flip conventions on their heads. Surprise me! #MSWL

Hey, writers! Thought I’d pop on here while editors are busy reading post–Labor Day submissions and do a little manuscript wish-listing. #MSWLThere’s a lot of info on my Manuscript Wish List page (manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/kris……) and on Publishers Marketplace (publishersmarketplace.com/members/kristi……). #MSWL
