Please remember, when I say something could be a comp that I don't mean exactly the same story. A comp exemplifies one or more elements, like voice, character development, pacing, tropes, writing style, etc.

Middle grade or YA contemporary stories - without romance or with it in the background. Stories like: American Street, The Hate You Give, Tiny Pretty Things, The Stars Beneath Our Feet, Ghost, Harbor Me, Watch Over Me, and From the Desk of Zoe Washington.

A fun, YA satirical horror. And I would be so excited if one (or more) would land in my inbox this month.

Adult book club, commercial manuscripts that could comp: So Happy For You, Counterfeit, Killers of a Certain Age, If I Had Your Face, The House in the Pines, All My Rage, White Ivy, or Patricia Wants to Cuddle.

Ditto! This sounds fun. #mswl

Honestly the more I think about it, the more I'd like a genre within genre. Like a rom-com set in a dystopian future (🤯). Or a murder mystery. That would be more interesting to me than "teen takes down oppressive futuristic system."

MG Horror is my most favorite type of horror. Got vibes similiar to OVER THE GARDEN WALL? Yes please! Or if you can comp to any of these titles, please query me: HIDE AND SEEKER by Daka Hermon, THIS APPEARING HOUSE by Ally Malinenko, THE HOUSE THAT WHISPERS by Lin Thompson #MSWL

I love and devour everything by Simone St. James (aka crime / thrillers with a paranormal twist), so if you can comp to her even slightly, SOLD. I adore a good haunted house story with terrifying, angry ghosts. Loved MEXICAN GOTHIC by Silvia Moreno-Garcia recently. #MSWL

Flowing into September, here's what I would LOVE to see in my inbox: HORROR!!!! It's spooky time folks, and horror is probably my favorite genre. Let's see if we can tick that genre way up, especially from POC & queer writers. Ghosts are my absolute favorite. #MSWL

Super excited to start in my new role as Literary Agent @MushensEnt ! 🥳🥳🥳

Please check out my #mswl page, #PM page, or website for more detail about the kinds of projects I’m on the hunt for. If you think we’d be a fit, I’d love to read your work! (4/4)

Hopefully this will ✂️ wait times while also allowing me to give each query the focus they deserve. I figure it’s worth a try. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

So what am I looking for? Primarily #mg and #ya and #illustrators . (3/4)

My hope is that I’ll be able to respond to queries in a more timely manner. I know authors put time and care into their work and it’s not fun to wait. I also know how long it takes me to give queries their due consideration. (I’m slow, and I know it, but it’s how I work!) (2/4)

I am so excited to let #amquerying #kidlit writers and illustrators know that I am FINALLY reopening to queries on Friday, Sept 1! AND I am trying something new! I am going to try opening for queries the first 7 days of each month only. Why? 🧵(1/4)

"The human brain is an endless source of fascination. I'd welcome nonfiction titles exploring the nexus between neuroscience and other fields, e.g., neuropsychology, neurosociology, neuropharmacology, neuronutrition, etc."

Friendly reminder to #amquerying authors: I open to all queries (within YA & Adult SFF and romance) on Friday, 9/1!

I’m in pretty good shape with numbers right now (I think 60 ish queries and 25 fills), and I’m excited to see what y’all send me!

Keep your eyes peeled for the official opening of my query inbox! To see what I’ll be looking for, take a look at my detailed MSWL here: kathleenfoxxagent.com/mswl (I’ll post an MSWL thread here when I open, too!)

That's it! I hope that helped provide a bit more detail of what I'm excited about but only so much can fit in a tweet so if you think I'm a good fit, query away. My MSWL and QM page can be found at the link in my bio. I can't wait to see all of your projects in a few days!! (8/8)
