I open to queries on June 1st! I am ONLY open to queries from writers of marginalized and underrepresented backgrounds. Please view my #MSWL here agent.keiralekseii.com where I've also included a couple screenshots from @thestorygraph that I hope will help!

Yes! Someone please do that and sent it to me! #mswl

vibe:

Vibe: eternally looking for the movie of The Prestige in book form (but like, not the actual book The Prestige which is too weird)

Vibe: But also possibly even more, Scriberia, the grumpy overlooked cult of investigative journalists at the back of the office, last chance to find a story, office politics, bitchy but committed

Vibe: OK, Inventing Anna, everyone is incredibly rich and horrible, someone's a scammer, but aren't they all actually scammers? you know you shouldn't but you want to be them.

What I'm looking for: I'm especially interested in books that focus on themes of gender and sexuality, feminism, and climate change. But I love any good story well told.

Vibe: "I'll always remember that summer" (summer in question is the late 60s, everyone is beautiful, lots of making out)

We welcome unagented submissions. Send a query letter that includes a brief description of the project, a brief bio, & two recent comp titles (published roughly w/in the last three years). Attach the first 30–50 pages of your MS as a Word doc or PDF & send to: jds75@cornell.edu

#ThreeHills focuses on works set in NY State & esp those north of NYC. I'm interested in commercial fiction w/ literary crossover—literary fiction, sci-fi, mystery, & thriller. We do *not* publish romance, fantasy, YA, children’s lit, poetry, drama, or works in translation.

Excited to finally share this NEWS! I’m officially acquiring novels & short story collections for @cornellpress’s regional trade imprint, #ThreeHills! I want to read your New York–based #fiction, preferably focused on upstate & rural areas. Submission guidelines in thread #MSWL👇

Vibe: It's christmas eve, the fire is lit, I'm wrapped in a quilt and drinking a manhattan, and I want to read some really quite unseasonably dark shit

Vibe: just this level of pure joy

Vibe: an obscene amount of food porn, in a way that almost spoils the plot but not quite?

Vibe: Ok, someone got murdered but let's not get too serious about it? how hard can solving crimes even be?

Vibe: Kate Winslet in Mare of Easttown. Misanthrope with a cause, solving crimes, f@cking shit up but not in a cool way, just in a "wow you need therapy" way.

Vibe: "Do You Think That There Is A Corner Of This Earth That You Could Travel To Far Away Enough To Free Me From This Torment?”

Vibe: MUMS. Motherland energy. But also like, having a mum, being a mum, we can relate.

Vibe: Evil gays??? (but make it sexy)
