I've been updating my personal site to reflect changes for 2022. It still needs work and content, but it's getting there. It has my #mswl for anyone looking for a lit agent leslietruex.com

I'm so excited to open back up to queries next week (1/18!)! My online #mswl continues to be a great place to find out what I like, and I'm definitely looking for thrillers that make me go 😱, historicals that make me go😭🥰, and contemporary fiction that makes me go 🧐😍

🎉🎉BIG NEWS: I'm joining @LucindaLitNYC! I'm excited to expand their children's program and support their NF list, with some SFF as well. You can find what I'm looking for here: lucindaliterary.com/about/team/ and there will be some #MSWL updates soon!🥳

Hello, it's me #MSWL

This week's #MSWL spotlight falls on @jmcgowanbks! James says, "In #horror, I'm not afraid to go dark and am open to supernatural of some kind. However, I do prefer things be grounded." If that sounds like your novel, send it over to him via this link: querymanager.com/query/jmcgowan

✨Diverse Regency/Victorian YA
✨Novels-in-verse

To see a fuller version of my #mswl check out my website, which has also been updated!

carolinaiortiz.com/manuscript-wis…

✨A Black marching band drama
✨A humorous take on puberty for girls
✨Subversive Catholic school stories
✨If something has "already been done” but it's never been done with characters who hail from marginalized backgrounds, I want to read it...

Special Call Outs!
✨Friendship stories where the complete cast is BIPOC
✨Latinx fútbol-centric stories
✨After-high-school stories not set in 4-year, majority-white universities, including trade schools, community colleges, non-European international universities, and HBCUs...

Contemporary💫 Give me your stories that focus on being 1st/2nd gen stories, multigeneration BIPOC family, returning to the homeland, and/or international settings with local protags

Historical Fiction💫 Desperately looking for projects that have a global and non-Western perspective on history

Romance💫 QBIPOC or BIPOC rom-coms/romances, and I would love to some interracial romances where both characters are BIPOC

SFF💫 I would love to see futures that star BIPOC casts and fantasy worlds inspired by non-Western folklores and myths

Horror💫 I'm looking for elevated horror that unpacks societal, community, and/or personal traumas, as well as any monster reimaginings from a BIPOC POV

I am more than ready to sink my teeth into some new submissions! And to ring in the new year, I've updated my #mswl with all the many things I'm looking for in middle grade, YA, and graphic novels...

“Literary fiction that genre blends, commercial fiction that takes me somewhere unknown, and rom-coms that make me laugh and swoon.” @ericsmithrocks #MSWL ericsmithrocks.com/mswl

Would still really love to find #sweetromance or #womensfiction with #culinary or #magical elements and or #beach settings. Viola Shipman-ish or Sarah Addison Allen-ish #mswl especially with an African-American protagonist.

I am open to queries for 2022! For my #mswl, please see Our Team on The Jean Naggar Literary Agency website: jvnla.com/our-team.php

Basically DITTO to her entire #MSWL
...when I reopen of course. Which might happen sooner than later because this thread makes me want to see what else is out there!

Sounds like the launching point for a novel. #mswl

Hi! My #mswl is linked in my twitter profile and can be found here: manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/kell…

Right now I'm mostly repping Children's fiction, specifically YA and MG, with a few exceptions.

#MSWL for lit agent @KaninMona!

(Also, rumour has it I’ll be looking for adult fiction later this year…so if you’re working on contemporary literary fiction or upmarket genre, keep me in mind.)
