P.S. Literary Agency

“Humorous essay collections, especially if they have some sort of bigger picture social commentary tying the essays together.” @claire_m_harris #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

“I loved THE DREAMERS by Karen Thompson Walker. Send me more grounded spec fiction, even better if it has an environmental angle. Adult and graphic novels welcome!” @readbystephanie #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

“I don’t need a protagonist to be likeable, but I do need them to be vulnerable. Even if only inside their head.” @ceciliaclyra #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

“Illustrated and photography gift books—i.e. 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

"Cozy mysteries like THE BOOK CLUB MURDERS by Leslie Nagel.”  @CurtisPSLA #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

“Non-Fiction I loved (from the past year or two): HEARTLAND, TRICK MIRROR, LIKE A MOTHER, PERMISSION TO FEEL, ELOQUENT RAGE.” @carlywatters #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

“Stories that celebrate neurodiversity, from authors who are themselves neurodivergent, both in fiction and non-fiction, Middle Grade, Young Adult, and Adult.” @ericsmithrocks #MSWL ericsmithrocks.com/mswl

“Pop psychology & fun self-help projects, especially from a qualified position (therapist, psychologist, life coach, etc). I love books that can provide tangible ways to improve yourself, while also being considered a fun read.” @claire_m_harris #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

"Non-Fiction Pop culture nostalgia. Projects that take pop culture and apply it to a new form. For example, ARE YOU AFRAID OF THE DARK RUM? (An excellent @PSLiterary book btw.)" @readbystephanie #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

“I’d love to read a proposal about the power of empathy.” @ceciliaclyra #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

“Time periods I like to read about: 1920s-present day. I don’t read a lot of historical fiction older than that.” @carlywatters #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

“Standout single subject books tend to grab me really quickly. If you think your project is too niche, I might be right for you.” @ericsmithrocks #MSWL ericsmithrocks.com/mswl

"If you’re a journalist with a story to tell, whether you’re exposing unjust systems in America or shining light on an unsolved crime, I want to bring attention to issues and people not always in the spotlight.” @claire_m_harris #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

“An upmarket fiction piece about a woman with a cool outdoorsy or animal-related job (think STEM).” @readbystephanie #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/
