The audiobook for Our Wives Under the Sea may have altered my brain chemistry (and my #mswl )

I would sure love a lot more Black, Latinx, and/or Indigenous romantasy in my inbox #mswl

During the 1920s, Colombia's luxurious Hotel del Salto was a popular destination for wealthy individuals in the country.However, over time, it gained a dark reputation as a place where people went to end their own lives. ... twitter.com/Morbidful/status/1738628299436228734/photo/1
Omfg. #MSWL for SURE

I’m still mulling it over, so I will be posting a refreshed #MSWL in January. Until then, my previous wishlist tweets still stand. I’m feeling goofy so I might do a 12 Days of Wishlist with some hyper-specific asks if people think that sounds cool.

Happy Halloween, I am on my knees begging for more cozy witch, eldritch horror, and everything in between in my querymanager 🙏 🎃 💀 🕷️ 💨 #amquerying #mswl

A hyperspecific #mswl ask this morning, but I’d really love to see any fantasy or horror inspired by the Florida wetlands.

With so many pitch events fast approaching, I thought it was about time for an #MSWL refresh. I rep everything from picture books to adult fiction, but am looking to fill some particular gaps:

#MSWL: I’d love a fantasy or sci-fi with a memoir-ish voice, like A Natural History of Dragons or Ten Thousand Doors of January…those 4th wall breaks really do it for me, man.
Literary Agent
Tacking on here for the #amquerying fam that after a serious binge of all the popular ones, I am on the hunt for cozy fantasies and cozy sci-fi too! #mswl

Dachshund companions are most welcome (loved Lily & the Octopus, loved Arsenic and Adobo!)
Literary Agent
I will go for messy family stories before I go for messy friendship stories. I’m especially keen on complicated love-hate sibling relationships.
Literary Agent
I do love historical stories across genres! I would love more stories centering real-life revolutions and recessions. My white whale is any accounts of Jose Martí. And if you take inspiration from Edwidge Danticat pls query me!!
Literary Agent
TV Show comps that will always make me pause are The Bear, Peaky Blinders, and Frontier. I would honestly kill for an indigenous POV look at the fur trapping industry, or raw, demystifying looks at the restaurant industry (Top Chef horror would be dope)
Literary Agent
In terms of more specific #mswl asks, I am obsessed with vicious, evil, terrifying mermaids and sea creatures. None of that Ariel crap. I want my mermaids with blubber and claws pls.
Literary Agent
Right now I would absolutely love to see more Latine/Latinx, Caribbean, first gen, and acespec voices in my queries as those are my lived experiences but am excited to see works from all walks of life!
Literary Agent
I’ve been pretty into what I call “ancestral revenge” books lately: Mexican Gothic, Hide, The Only Good Indians, Nothing But Blackened Teeth, etc.
