Related to the above, contemporary teens that work! Love stories in industrial fridges while waitressing, finding friends at the boardwalk surf shop, finding yourself at the water park (like one of my faves, the Way Way Back) #MSWL
Literary Agent
Rom-coms!! Contemporary rom-coms!! I need your unique twists on the genre or fun details or settings that make it stand out. #MSWL

I鈥檓 not looking for historical if, and especially if, if we鈥檙e using historical to cut out issues of cell phones or to tie to the author鈥檚 own decade of being a preteen/teen. Anti-#MSWL
Literary Agent
Send me your contemporary witches WITHOUT actual fantasy magical powers or who think they don鈥檛 have them. Think, The Craft before Sarah arrived. #MSWL
Literary Agent
I鈥檓 not a fit for Christian-centered or morality stories, trying to teach teens or tweens something. Anti-#MSWL
Literary Agent
Send me your survival stories with a twist, think #Yellowjackets and #TheWilds, ideally contemporary #MSWL
Literary Agent
Anti-#MSWL I鈥檓 not a fit for books centered on pregnancy or pregnancy loss. Would love a content warning if it鈥檚 a small piece of your story, but another agent would work better if that鈥檚 the theme or focus
Literary Agent
LOVE a contemporary story with an unlikely girl team up, think: John Tucker Must Die #MSWL
Literary Agent
Anti-#MSWL I鈥檝e never really connected with stories about writers or writing, characters who want to be writers. Just not for me!
Literary Agent
Looking for #YA and #MG with big, complicated family dynamics like #Succession, but kids, think: dramedy. Please though, nothing with tons of POVs #MSWL
Literary Agent
Anti-#MSWL : No high fantasy with traditionally Western royal setups. Mostly no high fantasy in general. Similarly, I鈥檓 not the right agent for most court intrigue
Literary Agent
For anyone who鈥檚 seen #TheLastofUs, I need manuscripts that feel like Ellie and Storm Reid鈥檚 character falling in love on the essentially last night of their world. NEED. #mswl
Literary Agent
I鈥檇 also love to see queries from LGBTQIA writers, especially stories of joy and, given everything going on in the world, will prioritize how I can queries from trans writers if you choose to such identify in your letter (of course you do not have to)
Literary Agent
First of all, I鈥檓 really looking to champion Black, indigenous, and other people of color who are querying and want to go the traditional publishing route. Send all your queries my way and I鈥檒l do what I can to prioritize #MSWL
Literary Agent
I鈥檓 open to queries as of right now!! You can send me your letter and first 10 pages on QueryManager here: QueryManager.com/caitlinwhite
To help you out, here鈥檚 a thread of #MSWL and anti-MSWL for any #amquerying writers thinking of submitting their fiction #YA and #MG
