Because I know it can be hard for agents to find info on what editors are looking for (YES, I've been there, trawling through Twitter profiles for hints...) I thought I'd go ahead and post my #MSWL here. For clarity, I'm only accepting agented submissions unless via referral. 🧵

Still desperately looking for a project with a main character who has the same energy as Doechii’s Alligator Bites Never Heal. #MSWL

"I would love to find a book about bees or beekeepers."

"Seeking a well-researched nonfiction proposal on hysteria, examining the history of health conditions associated with women and the socio-political causes and effects of these diagnoses."
CeCe Lyra #MSWL

I’d love a queer romance with an autistic protagonist and/or love interest, as an actually autistic agent (and, apparently, alliteration aficionado). I loved Helen Hoang’s The Kiss Quotient! #MSWL

I’ve lived most of my life in poverty. I’d love to see realistic depictions of poverty in both fiction and nonfiction, showing the hardships while steering clear of tragedy porn territory. #MSWL

In contemporary YA, I’m a sucker for gorgeous, meticulously crafted prose—think E. Lockhart and Jandy Nelson. #MSWL

I’d love to see super strange manuscripts, too. If Welcome to Night Vale could be a comp title for your project, please send me your query. #MSWL

Across the board, I’d love to see more nonbinary and transgender authors and stories in my QueryManager inbox—particularly (though not exclusively) transmasc authors and stories! #MSWL

"I would love an atmospheric environmental thriller or mystery akin to WILD DARK SHORE by Charlotte McConaghy or FORCE OF NATURE by Jane Harper where the wild setting is a main character."
Marina Green #MSWL
