It's happenings!! I'm opening to queries next Monday! To celebrate, I'm chatting with my client @s_t_gibson, who is also an agent. We will be talking about our #mswl and answering #askagent questions.

Sunday, October 17th at 10AM PT/1PM ET

Today feels like a good day to let #indigenouswriters know that I'm always looking for more #indigenousYA submissions.

Here's a link to my full MSWL: manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/emel…
#mswl #IndigenousPeoplesDay

Happy #IndigenousPeoplesDay. It's an apt moment for agents (like me!) and publishers to recommit to elevating Native voices. Native creatives, my inbox is open: querymanager.com/query/kristino… #NativeVoices #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.” @claire_m_harris #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

YES! #MSWL

#MSWL Don't forget! @CityOwlPress/Mystic Owl does not publish YA, and all submissions must have romance.

#MSWL Anything paranormal, sci-fi, or fantasy WITH ROMANCE! (The hotter, the better.) Voice and skilled writing will always trump everything else, so if you have something I haven't asked for specifically, but the writing/voice is stellar, please send it anyway!

I want to see more childfree themes in my submissions, specifically in mystery, suspense, thrillers, and horror. Anyone out there working on something exciting? #amquerying #WritingCommunity #MSWL

This is a highly specific ask but I would absolutely go feral if someone sent me a book with the besties/enemies/soulmates/backstabbers dynamic of Penguin and The Riddler in the Gotham TV show. Absolutely 100% feral. #mswl

“If you have How-Tos for beauty and self-care, I’m interested. Think sustainable and eco-friendly, capsule wardrobes and decluttering, etc. Adult and YA welcome.” @readbystephanie #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

GIVE ME HIGH FANTASY ELLE WOODS PLEASE #mswl

“Ted Lasso”-level character development is forever on my #mswl

The top three things I'd love to see more of in my query inbox, in no particular order 📚 #MSWL

1. Romance of any subgenre, especially if it's queer or polyamorous
2. Contemporary fantasy with unique magic systems and lore
3. Gothic horror, particularly from marginalized voices

#MSWL. Give me a hot brown cafe owner love interest; soft eyes, impeccable hair and beard nonnegotiable ty 😍

“Stories about women con artists: grifters and scammers and swindlers, oh my!” @ceciliaclyra #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

Just a reminder that KPop books by women with industry experience (especially trainee life) are on the TOP of my #MSWL at all times. Yall can keep TSwift, I'll stan these absolute sensations any day. 🖤

“Illustrated books like Literary Witches by Taisia Kitaiskaia and Katy Horan, Accidentally Wes Anderson by Wally Koval, and What We See in the Stars by Kelsey Oseid.” @agentvicente #MSWL mariavicente.com/representation

Begging for a grounded #MG or #YA sci-fi in the vein of The Lion of Mars! I read it months ago and keep thinking about it. In the meantime, I'm just going to go ahead and re-watch Cosmos as I wait 🕐🕑🕒🕓🙏 #MSWL

I’m editing too many things right now so I should Not be thinking about more manuscripts but I really want a super queer, shippy, chaotic adult horror novel please thank you #mswl
