Big fascinating SFF with a moment that grabs you by the throat, like EMPIRE OF EXILES or the forthcoming THESE BURNING STARS - or, not on my list, THE TRAITOR BARU CORMORANT or GIDEON THE NINTH.

Also, specifically, still into this tweet from 2021: twitter.com/bredalot/statu…

Romantic SFF along the lines of CM Waggoner, Freya Marske, THE UNDERTAKING OF HART & MERCY, or WINTER'S ORBIT (or the secret book that will be announced v soon, hang tight)

Ok, I'm still in the process of getting set up for this, but since it's #MSWL day: I am planning to reopen for queries for the first ten days of every month, beginning in March! Here's what I'm particularly excited about these days:

Happy #MSWL day! Here is the link to my updated @ManuscriptWList page:

Happy #MSWL day! You can see my wishlist here: manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/sara… I'm looking for all MG and YA fiction (except graphic novels), adult romance, and adult anything-under-speculative-umbrella except hardcore horror #mg #ya #sff

Today is #MSWL Day! The new site looks great. Here's my profile:

As it's #MSWL Day, I'm posting my link:

Some of my interests: hilarious rom-coms, high-concept SFF w/ delicious world-building & commercial pacing, book club fiction with inter-generational fams, ❤️ female journey & feminist perspective

Here's my #MSWL post on Tumblr. (Yes, I still have a tumblr. There are funny memes.) at.tumblr.com/esckeyes/emily…

Also, for this entire #MSWL thread, I cannot emphasize enough how I want to see all of these stories especially from marginalized creators. 💖

I’m also a sucker for anything comped to Studio Ghibli in middle grade!

I’m open to more serious topics in mg if they’re executed in a thoughtful and engaging way. #MSWL

In middle grade, I’m always hungry for action, adventure, magic, and humor. It can be fantasy or contemporary, or a little bit of both. Give me your fresh takes on magical school settings or just fun friendship stories filled with hijinks. #MSWL

As for children’s, I’m always open to YA in almost all genres, especially fantasy, contemporary, and thriller. I just want strong concepts and smart MCs with engaging voices that pull me along for the ride and make me want to root for them the entire way. #MSWL

I want to see fun and sweet contemporary romances with high concept hooks in the adult space as well. Think Lily Chu’s The Stand In or Emily Henry’s Book Lovers. I’m probably not the right agent for more serious romance stories. #MSWL

I’d love to see more horror in my inbox. It can be adult (or YA). Not slash and hack bloody horror, but the kind that builds psychological tension in a smart and surprising way. #MSWL

I’m expanding into repping more adult projects in genre fiction. I want to see more cozy fantasy, romantic or not, with low stakes, warmth, humor and whimsy. Basically a hug in book form. #MSWL

It’s #MSWL Day! I’ve always been so bad of coming up with specifics because I really am a reader who likes being surprised and is open to falling in love with a great story, but with that being said here’s some info about general things I’m looking for:

My full #mswl can be found on the agency website but here’s what I’m especially looking for in 2023:

—Adult + YA RomCom that are FUNNY AF *or/and* Adult Romance w a magic/spec twist
—Suspense/Thrillers (we need more queer and POC rep in this category!)
—MG Fantasy! All kinds!

Hi all--updated my #MSWL page here for 2023: manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/jess… Would love to hear from you!

If you think you've got something that's a good fit for my list, please query me at my Query Manager (I do not accept queries via email). Here's the link: querymanager.com/query/LauraRen…

I look forward to reading your work! #MSWL
