a little Monday morning #mswl for you all: I would love to see some literary-leaning 🩸🌼 cottagegore 🌼🩸 in my submissions! give me fields of flowers growing over the bones of the dead, brutal murders set to soft sunshine, cannibalism and cinnamon-apple tarts----

I listened to WE SOLVE MURDERS by @richardosman1 .bsky.social, narrated by Nicola Walker.

I honestly adored it. Loved it more than TMC. I'd love to rep something like it but by a queer/bipoc/disabled author.

Someone must've boosted the literary agents starter pack again because my follows are blowing up, so here's my
#MSWL : www.manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/ro...

TL;DR: Send me literary & upmarket adult fiction and narrative nonfiction; closed to kidlit (inc YA) and unlikely to sign SFF right now

#MSWL Women's historical fiction about non-Ashkenazi Jews, that is, Mizrachi, Sephardic and Beta Israel (Ethiopian) communities.

Here is my updated #MSWL for winter 2025. I will be opening back up to unsolicited queries at the end of the month. If I’ve requested materials from you please send me a DM for my query link.

#MSWL Here’s what I’m looking for right now!

👻 Horror: make it scary. Also trope defying 🔪 Serial killers
😂 Humor: Fiction/NF
👩‍❤️‍👩 Women’s Fiction: In Five Years vibes

📚 Non-Fiction:
🌟 Amazing Self-Improvement (Martha Beck, James Clear)
📖 Compelling Narrative
💼 Business (esp. women led 👩‍💼)

I want a quirky, humorous picture book. That definitely uses kid logic. #MSWL

Now that I’m more situated in 2025, just thought I’d re-share what I’m looking for at my #MSWL link below!

#MSWL

-Isolated thrillers. Give me your ocean settings

-Anything that comps to SADIE, GOOD GIRL'S GUIDE TO MURDER, VERA WONG, NO EXIT. THE WRITING RETREAT

I'd love to queer up the commercial horror and thriller space even more! Agents, let's talk!

#MSWL

#Trans femme voices (all genres)! Even though this was at the top of my wishlist last year, I received very few...crossing my fingers universe.

Cozy romantasy with stakes.

Queer and BIPOC romances! Desperate for more representation in my inbox. I'd love:
#MSWL
-contemporary with a speculative twist.

-Romances that feel like Talia Hibbert, Abby Jimenez, Emily Henry. Think delightful banter, big feels

-Monster F**er romances...

#MSWL Horror! I want all of it, but would especially love a hook-y slasher, psychological and body horror.

Horror I've enjoyed recently THE NIGHT GUEST, REST STOP, SO THIRSTY, Gretchen Felker-Martin, NEVER WHISTLE AT NIGHT. Reading: NESTLINGS and re-reading SHE IS A HAUNTING.

#Agents As the year opens, I'm excited to highlight a few
#MSWL submissions, I'd love to see in my inbox. I'm open to children's (esp YA) and adult submissions, so assume the below refers to either!

For the next two weeks we are open to adult upmarket/literary/commercial fiction (speculative elements including horror, etc. are OK!) and then we'll open to remaining genres like SFF
