I just found out I have a great uncle who was a priest with a secret family (!) that no one knew about until after he died (!!), and now all I want to read is a family saga about the fallout from that whole *waves hands* situation #mswl

“Send me all your ghost stories. I'll take adult fiction (scary or fun), a history of haunted places in America, an illustrated book—you name it, I'm here for it. Spook me!” @claire_m_harris #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

If I haven't already been clear, these are the kind of vibes I'm looking for in books! ❤️ #MSWL

“I enjoy light contemporary spec/fantasy. Think the CW’s Nancy Drew in book form.” @readbystephanie #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

Great question, Kim! Yes, I represent #MG #fantasy. That part of my #MSWL should be read [MG & YA (magical realism & SF)]. Cheers!

My son has asked me to "make more books with talking animals" so, here's my official request to agents on his behalf. I'm interested in picture books with strong SEL hooks and would love to see more humor too. Must connect to our mission of helping kids thrive. #MSWL

A #MSWL reminder that I DO rep adult work as well—contemporary fiction, romcoms, thriller/mystery, and horror—and am actively trying to build up that side of my list! 🧵

"In terms of non-fiction, I am looking for Psychology, Pop Culture, Science, Business, and Lifestyle from experts in their fields with an original angle. Proven expertise is a must.” @ceciliaclyra #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

All of them. But my first thought was a dual-narrated Nothing New! #MSWL

"definitive biography of Robert Moses" is right there on my #mswl page (under "comprehensive history of the late Roman empire") so I'm surprised I haven't received a query from you yet Hanson

- If your protagonist is the girl from TIED TOGETHER WITH A SMILE, I wanna see it.

- Miss Americana and The Heartbreak King because YA, duh.

just for ref there are many people in UK publishing who are still intricately entwined with the """gender critical""" movement (a proven hate campaign against trans individuals). my DMs are open if you'd like to know more. I will always do my utmost to protect
#mswl #amquerying

- I KNEW YOU WERE TROUBLE vibes as a YA romance, but maybe with a HEA.

-THE LUCKY ONE. Not necessarily Hollywood fame, but chasing a dream and realizing you might not want it & flipping it on its head

-MINE. Just for a careless man’s careful daughter. #MSWL

I could do a whole #MSWL on this (MG or YA only please!) so here goes:
-Enchanted. Takes place in one night. Intense romance

- The last great American dynasty. Gimme the outsider protag who kinda relishes screwing up high society

- anything with ONLY THE YOUNG energy

Spring 22 #MSWL:

In today's episode of my #mswl book vibes as music, I present the Siberian folk band, @Otyken_official. If this resonates with you, your heritage, your ms, I am dying to read it! 💛
We NEED unrepentant indigenous protagonists---especially in fantasy! 💛
