For those #amquerying I updated my #MSWL. And #pubtip, if you're wondering if your manuscript is too long--it probably is. 65k-95k is average imho. Thank you wonderful writers--it's hard out there but we're looking for you! manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/lori…

Looking for stories of joy where identity isn't the focus; rich, atmospheric writing w/ culture & magic; rom coms; novels w/ incredible hooks that can be pitched in one sentence; highly engaging reads w/ an unforgettable voice or unforgettable plot (ideally both!) #mswl

I'm prioritizing projects by and about BIPOC and underrepresented voices. Within that, particularly interested in projects with intersectionality, trans and disability rep, and ANYTHING by Native, First Nations and Indigenous authors. #mswl

No joke! I'm open to queries again!

Open until June 30! Updated #mswl here: manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/nata…

PB/CB/MG/YA/GN, fiction & nonfiction, and adult nonfiction

“Unique, genre-blending romance novels. For example, I wish I had worked on The Plus One by Sarah Archer or any of Roselle Lim’s breathtaking romantic contemporary fantasy novels. Give me an adult rom-com in space, or with magic.” @ericsmithrocks #MSWL ericsmithrocks.com/mswl

"He transformed the pain of his tormented life into ecstatic beauty. Pain is easy to portray, but to use your passion and pain to portray the ecstasy and joy and magnificence of our world..." - #MSWL

"If you’re a journalist with a story to tell, whether you’re exposing unjust systems in America or shining light on an unsolved crime, I want to bring attention to issues and people *not* always in the spotlight." @claire_m_harris #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

This! I’ve been seeking books like this! #MSWL 👇👇👇

Sword fighting gay and trans folks will probably always be on my #MSWL ⚔

need this adult thriller vibe #mswl

I need a chapter book series about the adventures and hijinks these girls go on! PLEASE! #mswl

For the foreseeable future, perhaps worth noting that I am not the right agent match for books about/set during/featuring the pandemic. Give me escapist literature where Covid-19 never happened! #mswl

Eternal #MSWL for fantasy (Agented)

I want hot paranormal romance. Send me your shifters, witches, ghosts, mermaids, and lesser explored magic! HEA or HFN a must. 50-75K. querymanager.com/query/LisaGree…
#MSWL

all this Satan talk has reminded me that I'd LOVE a re-telling of Paradise Lost #MSWL

I'm on the hunt for excellent, original #romance in the sci-fi/fantasy genres that fits Mystic Owl guidelines. Submission details here: cityowlpress.com/queries/#mysti… #MSWL #querytrenches #amquerying

I recently reread ALMA AND HOW SHE GOT HER NAME and it’s truly one of my all time favorites. I’d love to see more projects in my inbox exploring the things—names, food, places—that connect us with the generations before us. PB (author-illustrator only), MG/YA novel, GN. #mswl

I’m loving all the nonfiction queries I’m getting! I’d also love to see more illustrators/graphic novelists who are interested in creating/working on NF projects for kids. #mswl
