Send me all your ghost stories. I'll take adult fiction (scary or fun), a history of haunted places in America, an illustrated book—you name it, I'm here for it. Spook me! #MSWL

Calling all writers specializing in laughter and love! I’m actively seeking submissions for adult romcoms with elements of social media. My sweet spot is big on the com, light/medium on the rom. #MSWL

Humorous essay collections, especially if they have some sort of bigger picture social commentary tying the essays together. #MSWL

Very interested in books on sobriety—from mocktail books to explorations of alcohol-free culture to how-to guides for early sobriety. #MSWL

Cozy mysteries for younger audiences—I would love to see millennial protagonists, stories with drag queens, boozy brunches, bachelorette parties, all the things! #MSWL
Literary Agent
Psychological thrillers with new twists on classic tropes: unstable (or unhinged) narrators, missing memories or time, seemingly decent people with dark pasts, stalking, gaslighting in any form. #MSWL
Literary Agent
Select horror—I’m more interested in psychological elements, but I don’t mind a bit of gore. Anything disturbing or unnerving is up my alley. Novels + collections welcome! #MSWL

To the picture book creators, I'm not sure when I'll be opening to manuscripts next. My clients keep me busy and I feel awful passing on things so frequently. I hope to see y'all soon. However, I remain open to client and industry referrals for #picturebooks #MSWL.

I'd really like to work on a great novel or two this year. I'm looking for propulsive #suspense, edgy #mysteries, and grounded #horror. I love dark books that keep you guessing, with characters that are well drawn and memorable. #MSWL

I would also love to work with more #kidlitart #illustrators this year. I like bright, bold color palettes, expressive characters, creators who can tell a whole story in one image. My tastes range. See? jmcgowanbooks.com/clients

I like sarcasm and humor. I like nonfiction narratives that read like fiction. I like books that deal with current issues, but that teach you the history of a thing. Have you read IMMUNE by Phillipp Dettmer? Fascinating!
In nonfiction, when in doubt, try me. #MSWL

This year, I'm focusing on growing my #nonfiction list. I'd love to work on popular science, social science, and food books. Voicey writing. Think Mary Roach, Adam Grant. Climate, space, the ocean, biology. Mental health, personality science. Cookbooks! Chemistry of cooking #MSWL
