Happy Monday! I am officially open to queries! I’m looking to fill my list with middle grade and adult fiction and select nonfiction. You can find the full MSWL here: manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/saritza-hernandez/

Had the best time sitting down with Jamie on @WriteAndWrongUK last week and chatting about my time at @DA_Agency and what I'm working on this year. Available now if you fancy a listen! #amwriting #mswl #publishing #amquerying

#MSWL when I reopen in February
• Romance (dark- comps include anything by Emily McIntire, rom-coms, enemies to lovers, romantasy)
• Thrillers
• low fantasy

Please DM for a link to submit. You can also familiarize yourself with Shush Books and Sorra Books here:

4. Adding on chapter books (5-15k words)

Really interested in stories that teach older kids about life through adventures.

Examples: The Magic Tree House series, Yusuf and Yusra's Holiday Dilemma series, Jeronimo Stilton, Naruto (in book format)

3. FABLES

If you have stories that are folklore lite, I want them! They can be imagined or real stories from a culture.

Examples: 1001 Arabian Nights, Aesop's Fables

2. MORALS and LESSONS

I'm keen on publishing books that teach children about virtues (e.g., forgiveness, patience), emotions, and mistakes through a fun or engaging story.

Examples: The Boy Who Cried Wolf, My Hijab Is My Crown, Who Will Make Iftar With Me?

1. COMMUNITY

I'm the perfect one for you if your PB focuses on teaching children how to navigate this world with kindness, compassion, and sympathy toward themselves OR others via a story.

Examples: Brown is Beautiful, Eyes That Kiss in the Corners, My Block Looks Like

For the first time, I will be open to select picture book submissions for Shush or Sorra Books (on top of chapter books)!

What I'm looking for — a quick #MSWL 🧵

Send me a story full of machinations. #mswl

Another #mswl item: an adult sapphic romcom with roller derby

It's official! I've been promoted to associate literary agent with @FinePrintLit . I'm BEYOND excited to see your amazing manuscripts and help usher your stories into the world.

Guess who’s query box is finally open😎
#WritingCommmunity #mswl

I am such a sucker for a cult story #MSWL

I am YELLING this with everything in me, #MSWL for the love of GOD

#mswl and even better if it’s dark academia (but please wait because I’m not open to queries yet 😭)

I've updated my Manuscript Wish List. Check it out if you are so inclined. I hope you find the perfect description of your book on my list! manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/brandy-vallance/ #mswl #amquerying #amwriting #WritingCommmunity #writersoftwitter #writerslife #literaryagent

#MSWL for when I reopen. I love spacefaring stuff. But I don’t like LONG word counts.

Sara and I are also on the lookout for wholesome / heartwarming / hilarious. Our book love is very eclectic. QUALITY is more important to us than genre! Brandyvallance.com / Sara-kornienko.com / barbarabovaliteraryagency.com #mswl #amquerying #amwriting
