Would absolutely fall to my knees if someone comped anime series relating to JJK (particularly dark academia magic/alchemy elements with monsters & deep, enmeshed friendships that will destroy me- think GojoxGeto), Frieren, The Apothecary Diaries, Solo Levelling, etc. #MSWL

Happy Saturday! I’m open to queries today through Friday (1-7)!

Check out my #MSWL here!

Since I’m new here, I’ll do a #MSWL update soon, but if you’re a querying author, please note that short of some unforeseen circumstance I’m open to queries year-round! I’m looking for adult, YA, and MG projects.

A peek at her #MSWL !

Here's a quick bio--she's worn many hats, and fabulously, too!

We are so excited to announce a new member of the team - the wonderful @tajmccoywrites !

Hey, so if you're one of the (too many) laid off federal employees who also writes or illustrates books for kids, I'd love to hear from you. I'm always interested in nonfiction proposals for all age groups within kidlit, and science, math, and history will be even more important soon. #MSWL

Lastly, I'd love to see books featuring characters with celiac disease (which I have)--especially in the rom-com space. How does one navigate kissing on a first date when your partner has had gluten? This also goes for other autoimmune diseases and chronic illnesses. #MSWL

I'm always on the hunt for deeply romantic stories with a focus on a continuously building chemistry. #MSWL

Along the same lines, I think with tariffs on China where most books are printed, it will be more costly for publishers to invest in long projects. I'd love to see shorter SFF (under 100K words). #MSWL

I'd like to see more standalone fantasy. Not standalone with series potential. A true standalone. #MSWL

I am looking for escapist, high concept projects. It needs to have a really strong hook to differentiate itself in today's crowded market. #MSWL

Across the board, I'd like to see more funny books, but especially in picture book and middle grade. #MSWL

At the top of my wishlist is book about trans kids by trans authors #MSWL

A little Query update! I am still catching up on my query inbox (have reviewed through 10/11/24), but I am planning to open from March 1st-March 7th and will continue trying out opening just for the first week of every month. We’ll see how it goes. Will do a little #MSWL .

I can't wait to take one-on-one video pitches at the 2025 (Online) Texas Writing Workshop (texaswritingworkshop.com) on March 8. Pitch any genre/subgenre mentioned on my #MSWL page: www.manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/ly.... Otherwise, I'm currently closed to queries except adult NF.

If you're repping a epic fantasy/secondary world fantasy with either zero romance or a B-plot romance, could you send it my way PLEASE? #mswl

I'm specializing in mystery, suspense, thrillers, crime fiction, and upmarket fiction with a sharp edge. He is drawn to high-stakes narratives, complex characters, and stories that refuse to be put down. More on my website:

No more secrets! I'm so excited to announce that I'm a literary agent with @roseclifflit , and I'm open to queries on Friday! Huge thanks to Jessica Berg for the encouragement and mentorship! MSWL below!

Absurd or surreal books in the vein of Samanta Schweblin, Laura van den Berg and Kobo Abe. #MSWL
