Hello and a wonderful #MSWL day to you!
Big thank you to manuscriptwishlist.bsky.social
Here's my QM querytracker.net/query/AnneTi...
Wanted: Commercial Fiction
Psychological Horror, Mind-twisting Thriller, Millennial Cozy Mystery, Feminist Historical.

#MSWL you know what I'd really, really love? A non-didactic, colorful, highly illustrated digital media literacy guide for kids. Please someone submit this to me.

Anyone writing a horror/thriller romance? #MSWL

Still searching for a tennis rom-com! #MSWL

Niche #mswl dream projects: OUTERBANKS X GLASS ONION within small towns with a young cast of characters solving mysteries and riddles.

Niche #mswl dream projects: I'd love a girl in the world of competitive online gaming. YA or NA

Mystery: I’m looking for feel-good mysteries that have a cozy vibe but also have some grit to them. Tightly wound mysteries with a fun hook! Also love a sense of community and interesting cast of characters who feel like real people.

Some niche #MSWL dream projects: CRYPTIDS. YA fiction with some mystery, thriller, maybe even horror. Give me the eery Appalachia stories or a chupacabra in Puerto Rico. If you have cryptids, I want to see it.

I'd also love to see novelized stories of real women from history. #mswl

Still looking for a murder mystery set in space or with a touch of magic that is fun and inclusive! #MSWL

An epic fantasy with smart characters and great character arcs that explores inequality in various forms. #MSWL Or an epic fantasy set in a queer normal world.

I'd love to find a science fiction or fantasy in Adult with a focus on smart politics like The Goblin Emperor or A Desolation Called Peace. #MSWL

Happy to take part in manuscriptwishlist.bsky.social #MSWL Day! Please see my full guidelines for more information www.stormliteraryagency.com/submission-g...

But I'd love to see something with the different cultures and #LGBTQ influences of XO, Kitty in YA Contemporary Romance!

Suspense/thriller: I want shocking, twisty books that are instant page-turners! Always looking for works by authors from underrepresented communities but in this genre especially. Would love to see something that also speaks to socioeconomic or other issues (but no focus on politics, please!).

Also helpful to know that I love historical British/BBC mysteries, like Miss Scarlet and the Duke, Endeavor, Grantchester, Dalgliesh. #mswl

#MSWL I'm looking just for MG and YA for original submissions, but agents, most of what I do is IP/work-for-hire on brands and licenses, mostly picture books through chapter books, activity books, and some nonfiction picture books. If you have clients with experience in that space, let me know!

#MSWL for graphic novels, in terms of art style, a very incomplete list of some favorites for an idea of my taste:

-Beetle & the Hollowbones
-The Deep & Dark Blue
-Ink Girls
-I Shall Never Fall In Love
-On a Sunbeam
-The Princess and the Grilled Cheese Sandwich
-The Pale Queen

#MSWL some more specific thoughts:

-All the queer books. Please & thank you.
-Is it sapphic? Is there yearning?? Why do I not have it already?!? (Bonus points if historical.)
-Do you have something where fanfic is a big part of the plot? Yes please!
-Time travel or time loops? Sounds fun, I'm in!

Okay, agent friends, it's #MSWL time! I'm an Associate Editor at Penguin Workshop, looking for middle grade and YA, as well as graphic novels in both categories. I love historical fiction, fantasy, and mysteries, and if you have something that combines those elements in a clever way, send it to me!
