YA GN

again, I am dying for more LGBTQ+ and historical; would love contemporary, fantasy, and horror here, too

Think outside the box. For YA, it needs to be something that totally immerses me in the characters or the world or the emotions

MG Novels

contemporary, fantasy, and historical

am open to novel in verse but must be very high concept

MG Graphic Novels

I want ALL THE MG GN! Looking for slice of life, LGBTQ+ characters and first crushes, kids who can lean on each other and don't run to parents to solve problems.

All genres welcome here #amagenting #mswl

Many kind people have pointed out that my #MSWL profile listed me as open to queries while Twitter name specified I was currently closed. Sorry for the confusion! At this point, I am closed to new queries as I focus on what I already have to look at.

Cheers!

I want a ya romcom like this please! #mswl

#MSWL I'd also like to see a paranormal adventure romance set in a culture-rich location. Imagine if Tomb Raider was a cat shifter hunting magical relics. Or if Indiana Jones was a demon hunting the holy grail for other reasons...

#MSWL I'm continually hunting for a long-running series (different couple in each book) full of sexy-as-sin paranormal characters who make me laugh, swoon, and stay up late reading!

I’m caught up on queries and have 4 submissions from September in my inbox. I’d love to find some adult nonfiction, mysteries, and suspense. #MSWL

Thanks CBI for the fun interview!! #literaryagent #litagents #mswl #mswishlist #pitmad #ADA #fridaymorning #books #nytimes #WSJ

Happy Spooky Season!! I always want spooky books (especially witchy stuff) but I'm really in the mood for vampires a la THE MORGANVILLE VAMPIRES. Definitely also time for a re-read. #MSWL

Hey #amquerying authors! You can pitch your project to me here: savvyauthors.com/community/thre…… The gates close tonight at 11:59 p.m. EST (Friday, October 1), so get those pitches in!!! #MSWL #WritingCommunity

Flashback to @laurenspieller’s #MSWL for a YA Drop Dead Gorgeous that I literally haven’t stopped thinking about since—someone write this!

Something that will forever and always be on my #MSWL is "food books" because I'm still chasing the dopamine rush I got every time I read BUNNY CAKES as a kid and saw the cakes Ruby and Max made. 😋🎂✨

It’s thrilling to think about what new treasures might be headed to my query box, and I can’t wait to see them! And please know that even if it’s a pass from me, it’s an honor to have the opportunity to read and see your work! Good luck! 10/end

I enjoy pop culture, and I’m not immune to the charms of film and TV. I especially enjoy TCM and Criterion and quirky smart horror comedies 9/

I want to walk away from every book having learned something new, and love being inspired by personal stories in both fiction and nonfiction. I am invigorated by lost or alternate histories 8/

I find imperfect characters more interesting that those that start off with all the answers, and earned happy (or at least bittersweet) endings are some of my favorites 7/

I delight in being hooked by a high concept and a clever premise, but that creative vision needs strong character development and an attention to every word. I love gorgeous writing AND plot! 6/
