I like romance, but I especially love when the romance plot is super layered and there are other things going on. 💖
Domestic/social thrillers with a strong voice. 📝
Anything that tackles capitalism in an unexpected way. 💰

Stories where the protagonist builds their own community/family. 🫶🏼
Books that will radicalize teens/kids. 📢
Truly escapist fantasy with a world I become absolutely obsessed with! 🤯
Experimental (but not tooooo gimmicky) storytelling that just works! 👏🏼

Me and Beefy girl are waiting to see the vet, so let’s do a #mswl while we wait!
Everything I list will apply to both MG and YA unless I specify… And there is no order to this chaos… #amquerying #writingcommunity

Among many worthy May awarenesses, are the personal ones for me of: Celiac, mental health, Jewish American heritage and international masturbation month. Time to be loud & proud of all of these & smash any stigma! I recommend “roses” for honoring one in particular. 😆 (IYKYK!)Coincidentally, these topics also represent my #mswl, ha!

Firstly, I know Querytracker says I'm closed but I am open! Just not quite open to absolutely everyone. Please query me (querymanager.com/AllegraMartsch…) if you are:
—A BIPOC spec fic writer
—A marginalized writer w/one of my dream projects (see my website)

This is me begging for a YA dystopian that keeps me up for an entire week the way it did my sophomore year of college when I binged read the Hunger Games #mswlYes! #MSWL

#MSWL LGBTQ+ non trauma centered YA & Adult fiction. A romcom would be fun, I’m always looking for masculine presenting lesbians. BIPOC stories always a plus.
If you have something that fits this specifically DM me.

I would love a historical fiction of the real pirates of the Caribbean, featuring real people mixed with fictional characters that draws from actual events that took place around 1720. Adult, MG, or YA. Dark or light-hearted. #ManuscriptWishList #MSWL

Query stats! I opened 4/17, and so far received 219 queries, requested 4, passed on 176, and still have 39 in queue — not in chronological order because I don’t always read them as I get them & some I’m still deciding. (Which may be frustrating to some #amquerying writers!) 1/So far what I can say is I got (and usually get) BY FAR mostly YA fantasy, at least 70-80%, so if you have contemporary especially or other genres of #YA I’m eager! #amquerying #MSWL

I want a science fiction novel about a unionization movement among spaceship workers, whether laborers on ships, docks, or ancillary industries. Like, not focused on the SF technologies just pure labor activist realism in an SF setting.#mswl !!!
