#LadderbirdChirp /#EditorInsight
Hello… So, here is a quick insight and update about Ladderbird:
We have agents that are looking for historical romance / historical fantasy!
Here is the catch: Many of our agents do not want World War historical romance. (Hint: Leah and Marrissa). #MSWL

I just devoured the second Meihan Booey (THE ENIGMATIC MRS INGRAM) and

1. If you like the Emily Wilde / cozy paranormal / myths minding their own business space, read these ASAP. They're delightful speculative mysteries set in Singapore, I'd read a hundred of them.

2. #MSWL !

"I’m interested in love stories that may not fit the definition of romance, such as found family, platonic soulmates, and relationships without a happily ever after."

"In adult fiction, I'm seeking horrors about religious deconstruction and cults."

#DreamProject
Something I have been really into lately is Women in business… Like a woman building a construction company or working Solar Energy… I would love a project focused on her building from the ground up… Contemporary Fiction #MSWL

"Time periods I like to read about: 1920s-present day. I don't read a lot of historical fiction older than that (like FOUR WINDS, OUR WOMAN IN MOSCOW, and Beatriz Williams in general)."
carlywatters #MSWL

"I want literary and upmarket fiction about contemporary life, queer characters, mental health, friendship, nostalgia, existential dread—anything with 'cool girl' or 'sad girl' vibes."

#mswl more books that made me feel and think the way these did—books that stay with you long after you read them

MG: Last Cuentista, Girl Who Drank the Moon, Inside Out & Back Again
YA: Strange the Dreamer, Aristotle & Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe, Last Night at the Telegraph Club

"I would love atmospheric and speculative mysteries and thrillers that skew psychological and cerebral with unreliable narrators. Stories where the setting is the main character and characters have full and dynamic backstories!"
Marina Green #MSWL

*whispers* I will finally be opening for queries after almost a year of being closed. My query inbox will be open June 1st-15th and July 1st-15th. If you’re interested in what I’m looking for, check out my new #MSWL #queryingauthors #litagent

"I want weird YA novels. Ex: WILDER GIRLS by Rory Power, THEY BOTH DIE AT THE END by Adam Silvera, and THE STRANGE AND BEAUTIFUL SORROWS OF AVA LAVENDER by Leslye Walton."

I would also love a project that has a modern take on a young Black man’s journey into adulthood. I don’t want a trauma dump story, but a genuine exploration of coming into one’s self. #MSWL
