"For romcoms, my taste veers towards genre-blends, i.e., a romcom that’s also a family saga or a romcom com that’s also a thriller. DIAL A FOR AUNTIES by Jesse Q. Sutanto is a great example and my all-time favorite romcom."

My #MSWL is also in need of MG fiction with quirky extraterrestrials like you'd find in the ragtag group of Guardians of the Galaxy or on the Syfy series Resident Alien.

For the #amquerying crowd: I feel very privileged to receive the volume of submissions that I do - but I can't quite keep up...I'm therefore trialling closing my subs box every second quarter, starting with April 2022 and will update thenorthlitagency.com/our-friends-in… when I open/close.
Okay - that's me closed for submissions for the rest of 2022! I am looking forward to catching up on submissions already received, and will let the #amquerying crowd know what my #mswl is when I reopen in early 2023 again.

Now that I'm open to queries, I'm especially hoping to find a clever, sexy romance. would also love to see more cozy-ish paranormal (especially genre crossover).
Not saying I'm not looking for the other genres, of course, these are just holes in my list I'd like to fill

A YA RomCom or MG story featuring Filipino leads would be lovely. #MSWL

Historical Fic #mswl: an unseen avenue into a popular historical moment (a job, a place, a person we haven't seen before giving new insight into a time we're maybe familiar with). Dual timeline, mystery/Gothic-leaning, female-driven all delicious bonuses
Queries reopen 12/1!

Absolutely horrifying in all the good ways. I realize that there is already a novel out there based on this island, but I'd love to see something similar. #MSWL tinyurl.com/ywddwfza

You know that scene in Rings of Power where ****** is in *********'s head and it's the evil one being all join me and be my light etc?Gimme that same energy but genderbent and/or queer.
#mswl
Sorry, I should clarify:
There should be kissing while the dagger is at the throat and the good one definitely decides to join the evil one and be their queen/king/monarch or imperial partner or whatever.
And there should be corruption sex.

I think there is a desperate need to fill the upper middle grade/young YA space.I also think there's a desperate need for young middle grade that is much shorter to transition readers from chapter books to MG. I so rarely see subs in that space. We need to fix that.
Writers, if you have something that will fit this description, please query me! #WritingCommunity #amquerying #MSWL

Yes, thanks for mentioning, @AnikaDenise! Upper MG is absolutely at the top of my #mswl, so if any kidlit authors have non-genre MG manuscripts with protagonists who are 13 or 14 and in 8th grade, I’d love to consider them for Holiday House.
