1. I will open for a month only. (By doing it in controlled bursts I can make sure it doesn't overwhelm me).

2. Genres. I will be only opening to a few genres:

Action & Adventure (adult)

Thriller/ mystery: Adult and YA.

Fantasy YA.

Fantasy Romance Adult and YA.

I wanna see books for this age group #MSWL not quite grown up, no longer babies.

Already obsessed with this movie. Also—this premise is a great example of a "high concept rom com." #MSWL 💕

This needs a comeback! #MSWL

"I'd really love to get more YA horror in my inbox. Smart horror. I don't want gore, I want a story that creeps me out, and asks questions I don't want answers to."

Update: I'm reopening to queries on Monday, February 20th. Looking forward to reading everyone's work! #mswl to come.

Picture Books: lyrical beautiful writing celebrating the different ways that people express love across cultures, personalities, the neurodiverse spectrum, or through disability. PBs that affirm "Love is love" and all the different incarnations love can take.

MG: stories highlighting the beauty of kids going through difficult things and complicated family dynamics; experiences of first love and crushes esp of queer kids discovering themselves; misfits finding connection, friendship, and the stirrings of desire.

Things I love in YA romances: queer love; sex-positivity; steaminess & tension; opposites attract (💜 stoic softies at heart); complex characters; discovering first love & lust; enemies or rivals to lovers; attraction (or battle) of minds; funny romantasy; dark gothic (2/)

A #MSWL in honor of love, specifics below but broadly: character-driven stories w/textured writing and complex themes, or beautiful prose that's deceptively simple & emotionally hard-hitting. A strong voice straddling commercial & literary lines, or more towards the latter. (1/)

🤍Adult Romance🤍
Contemporary college stories
Interconnected standalone series
Heartbreaking stories about young women finding their identities
Deals gone wrong
Marriage of convenience
✨Romantasy✨
Campy genre fiction
Fated mates
#mswl

Incredibly lush and deeply atmospheric books. I'm especially looking for writers who can take these big plots and craft well developed character arcs that don't sacrifice world building for quickened pacing.
#mswl

Dark speculative work. Thrillers. Academies. Murder mysteries. Occult studies. Haunted museums. Gothic mansions. An atmosphere to fall in love with opulent richness of the dark.
#mswl

Kids stories where young people fall back in love with their histories and ancestors through exploring and adventure and reclaiming their heritage in an action packed setting. Think the plot for Outerbanks for marginalized kids
#mswl

Love stories across all genres that feel timeless, all consuming, LIs who worship their partner, “he falls first,” burn the world down for you, making questionable choices for love
#mswl

In both YA and Adult, I want these two buffoons. A political backdrop with extensive world building and incredible conflicts anchored by the hatred and love of two people who are somehow functioning when they should probably be dead
#mswl

💌I’m officially open to queries💌

And it’s my favorite day of the year! So let’s talk about things I love, tropes to love, love that turns to hate, lovers who were enemies, and love that hurts.
Here’s my #mswl for books I want to help people find and love and sob over 💗💗💗💗

I am on the hunt for exciting new authors to represent. I would love to find lots of things, including an original thriller, a book club novel, narrative non-fiction and anything uplifting to help combat this bizarre world. You can see more here: unitedagents.co.uk/afeineruniteda… #mswl

#HappyValentinesDay, #amquerying! Just a reminder that I'm closing to submissions tonight at 11:59 ❤️ So, send me some #booklove & get those queries to me! XOXO

If you are a WOC writing a book that could fairly be described as a twist on the reality television housewife trope, in ANY genre except SFF, @alexandriab_11 and I will 100% fight over it. We'll take the query WHILE we're both closed, that's how much we want it. #MSWL
