Would pay good money to read a book that is like Hell or High Water but with high fantasy elements. I want like rust bucket cars and big ass swords. Mermaids that look like they live in a swamp. Cowboys that are protecting their livestock from mountain trolls.#mswl vibes

Hi cuties! Who’s got a picture book text about the Amazon? Fiction or nonfiction, or a little bit of both—I’ve got a hankering! #MSWL

Just watched One Day with my husband and hadn’t realised that he’d never seen it/didn’t know the ending until it happened on screen - the dog was not prepared for our combined hysterics twitter.com/liv_maidment/status/1758789487440576520/photo/1Please writers send me all of your captivating, life-affirming, devastating love stories to read when I’ve stopped sobbing #mswishlist #mswl

With our shiny new #MSWL on our shiny new website, we've been thinking hard about what sort of stories we want to represent. But what sort of authors do we want? Today's #DATips are about how to be our dream client - ie, a pro author

I'd love to see more contemporary romance queries. One Day is a good indication of what I'm after, but I could do without a traumatic ending. I always look for a unique hook and a believable relationship. Did I mention a unique hook? I love a unique hook.🙏 #mswl

#MSWL In this I'm also including worlds that blend tech and magic, so this can include a mash-up of fantasy & sci-fi too!
Literary Agent
#MSWL I'm a sucker for epic, historical feeling fantasy worlds, but I'd love to see more epic, modern feeling secondary fantasy worlds and worlds that gorgeously blend historical & modern too!
High stakes & romance get my attention well. MG, YA, Adult/New Adult all welcome!

#MSWL I'd love an Adult/New Adult Harry Potter—witches, wizards, possibly academia (without the JK Rowling baggage of course).Like THE MAGICIANS but even more accessible and with a strong romance.
I'd be happy to see this in YA too!!! #MSWL

And for me, enjoying a book generally means there are strong thematic elements. Lastly, I appreciate it when heavier themes are balanced with humor and thoughtful turns of phrase. Make me feel!

Adult:
Upmarket, commercial/literary fiction, book-club fiction, magical realism, rom-com/women’s fiction crossover, historical, mysteries that are fun and light with a genre blend, science fiction (whether five-minutes-in-the-future or epic), fantasy, and romantasy.

#YA I always enjoy a little romance as the A or B plot, however, I lean into the B plot romance more (romance not required).
Plots that create tension and surprise me with unexpected twists.
Vivid and atmospheric settings.
Literary Agent
#MG Commercial hooks, literary voice. Unique characters, smart characters who mistakes but learn and overcome their primary flaw. MG voice a must.

#PB Timeless picture books, especially w/ a new format or approach. Unexplored topics, new perspectives, exceptional writing, true-to-life characters. Kid-facing, non-didactic, empowering, authentic, award-worthy.
Also fun, quirky, and funny picture books!
