✨Illustrator MSWL✨

I’m excited to see work from creatives who have a love for children’s books and have built a portfolio that focuses on children’s lit and the diversity of our kids. I’m also excited for contemporary and speculative GNs (pls no adult GNs)

✨2024 #MSWL ✨

I’ll be open widely to queries for the first time from Sept. 1st through the 7th!

querymanager.com/query/3212

I’m excited to continue building as diverse of a list as possible, and am especially looking for illustrators and author-illustrators.

A 🧵

I want something different in my queries. Something fresh, unique, with amazing storytelling and rounded characters. #MSWL

I’m honored to be featured in @WritersDigest Sept/Oct issue in their Agent Round up. I offer detailed insights into my wishlist, what I’m looking for & what I’m not interested in. It hits stands this week. Our submissions are open again! Name me in your sub #MSWL #WhatAgentsWant

I think I may need a fake boyfriend story when I reopen. YA or Adult #MSWL

Good grief. If you can write me a book that channels Glen Powell & Ryan Gosling that could be optioned for a movie I’d be all over that. #MSWL Has to be hooky & commercial with a strong plot & characters (obviously) lots of humor, swagger, action & showcases their personalities!! x.com/njhftdolans/st/njhftdolans/status/1828489144789565570

This is by no means an exhaustive list—if you think we'd be a fit, please query me!

Nonfiction:

Romance:

Horror:

General fiction:

Suspense:

I'm noticing that many of the submissions in our portal don't include the word count or the genre. When submitting on our portal or directly to me via email, please be sure to always include the genre and word count. Looking forward to reading your queries & manuscripts! #MSWL

Lil' heads up--when I reopen to queries this fall, in addition to fiction, I'll be opening widely to ALL categories of adult non-fiction.

I'd also love to connect with some self-pub'd writers looking for an agent to help exploit audio and foreign rights! 👀

An imperfect metric, but when determining if your book is literary/upmarket speculative fiction or commercial genre fiction, the amount of jargon is usually an indicator. I love new or redefined words to describe original concepts but anything w/ a glossary, prob not for me #MSWL

I've gotten a lot of SFF queries lately, so please keep in mind:
YES - near future, primary world, humans or mostly humans, plausible tech, the supernatural
NO - alien races, fantasy creatures, swords & sorcery, invented languages, magical kingdoms, intergalactic anything

Meet cute for a rom com or romcom mystery please🤣
