✨Wolves, really anything with wolves where they are not cast as a villain.
✨Old houses and buildings with history and secrets of their own. (Generally, I love stories where the setting is essentially a character.)
✨Herbology, tarot, and crystals.
✨Unapologetic protagonists.

✨Kids who love to bake and cook.
✨Contemporary fantasy and books that showcase magic in our world.
✨Specifically adult: a fresh take on a crime procedural with a female lead (bucking tropes and stereotypes).
✨Multigenerational storytelling and ancestral magic.

Some things I am currently looking for across age groups:
✨More humor—we could all use more laughter right now, right?!
✨Kids falling in love with the outdoors—camping, urban gardens, farms, really anything to do with nature.
✨ Girls who do martial arts!

Today is the day! I am now open to queries!

Can't wait to read your amazing stories. Please remember to follow submission guidelines, and you can see more detailed wish list items on my website: paigeterlip.com

So my pinned tweet has my current #MSWL which is pretty updated.

Want to add, I do take:
multi-POV (within reason)
hard topics: grief/death, foster care, etc. especially for MG. Life is sticky and kids need books that acknowledge their lives.

#AskECLA #AskAgent

Absolutely 100% on board with Mandy here. New perspectives and fresh POVs are always welcome. #AskECLA #MSWL

Always looking for teens who work! I waited tables at dinner shifts after school, and there's something unique about the bonds you form in those back kitchens and walk-in freezers! Give me your waiters, lifeguards, camp counselors, retail workers--all! #AskECLA #MSWL

I will also add there is a tendency when looking at YA fantasy to over-simplify with "This fairy tale/classic re-telling is overdone" but when you look at it, it's all white/western retellings. I am 100% open to retellings from new perspectives. #MSWL #AskECLA

Yes same!! And survival + horror! I am dying for something that meshes those in interesting ways like #WilderGirls or #Yellowjackets circa 1996. More for #YAlit. #askECLA #MSWL

I will forever want more survival stories-- Hatchet was one of my faves growing up, I loved THE RAFT, OBLIVION ROAD, FIVE TOTAL STRANGERS, etc. If they're snowed in, stranded at sea, stuck in a desert, I want to read it. MG & YA. #MSWL #AskECLA

I LOVE anything that plays with formats. Diaries, letters, infographics, etc. YA & MG. #MSWL

As a farm girl I'm also down for ALLLL your 4-H, FFA, cows, chickens, horses, goats, pigs, and beyond. I love that childhood kid + pet combo (in MG especially but would like a more teen/equestrian combo as well for YA!) #MSWL #AskECLA

I would LOVE anything with "found families" or unconventional families, MG or YA. #MSWL #AskECLA #askAgent #Amquerying

I'll start with some things I'd LOVE to see in my query box when I reopen next week: anything in YA you would call creepy, whether horror or thriller. Give me atmosphere and something pacey. #MSWL #AskECLA

I would like a southern romcom/romance about a last minute date or a one night stand that leads to more called RIGHT QUICK #mswl

Another one for #MSWL

Someone write a YA version of Sunday’s At Tiffany’s please!🥺❤️#MSWL

I always promise myself I'm not going to post an #MSWL (Manuscript Wishlist) and then I get a bug to find new clients and, well, the best way to let people know I'm hungry is to tell them. bookendsliterary.com/2022/02/03/an-…

There are some exciting #YA titles on my desk at @vulpine_press! I'm building a list of quality #YAlit with well-realized worlds and complex characters. If there's a pinch of magic, all the better! #MSWL #amquerying #amwriting #WritingCommunity vulpine-press.com/submissions-1

Have I mentioned lately that I'd love some folk horror/cozy horror submissions from marginalized creators, in both YA and Adult?🙏🏽 #mswl
