P.S. Literary Agency

“In upmarket fiction, I’m looking for precise angles: Period pieces with women breaking into lively professions (think TV or comedy a la I Love Lucy) and Women in S.T.E.M.” @readbystephanie #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

“Paging Romance writers! I’m looking for fun, romantic romps ala CRAZY RICH ASIANS particularly LGBTQ+ romances like RED WHITE AND ROYAL BLUE.” @maureen_moretti #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

"I would LOVE to read a YA contemporary novel about a teen birder. Anyone out there writing one? Query me." @ericsmithrocks #MSWL ericsmithrocks.com/mswl

"Crime fiction like Ian Rankin, Chevy Stevens, Patricia Cornwell, & Lee Child." @CurtisPSLA #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

"In non-fiction, I want to see more: Allergy sensitive cookbooks and Analytical essays on pop culture (think Anne Helen Petersen)" @readbystephanie #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

“Within culture I’m looking for diverse takes on current events, politics, niche cultures and interesting voices.” @maureen_moretti #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

“I read widely in YA, and enjoy just about every genre in it. I love moving contemporary reads, thrilling sci-fi, and lush fantasy.” @ericsmithrocks #MSWL ericsmithrocks.com/mswl

"Romance, Literary, Commercial, Suspense, Young Adult, Middle Grade, and Picture Books." @CurtisPSLA #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

"I'm always in the mood for smart women's fiction that reinvents the wheel on Jane Austen. Historical like LONGBOURN or modern like THE LIZZIE BENNET DIARIES." @readbystephanie #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

“For me, literary fiction lives and dies in its characters and writing, send me your complex, diverse characters grappling with what it means to be human something in the vein of Tom Rachman’s THE IMPERFECTIONISTS.” @maureen_moretti #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

"Quirky cookbooks that explore topics that are hard to find in the bookstore, or haven't been explored at all. Odd, single subject books tend to grab me quickly. If you think your project is too niche, I might be right for you." @ericsmithrocks #MSWL ericsmithrocks.com/mswl

"Non-fic like Jim Collins GOOD TO GREAT, Susan Cain's QUIET & Charles Duhigg's THE POWER OF HABIT.” @CurtisPSLA #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

"For fantasy, give me your urbanite gods, stomping around the city with their cappuccinos. Think BLACKBIRD or THE WICKED + THE DIVINE in paperback." @readbystephanie #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

“With non-fiction I want to learn something by accident, tell me a good story in a fun new way that keeps me thinking. I really enjoyed Carlo Rovelli’s SIX BRIEF LESSONS ON PHYSICS.” @maureen_moretti #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

"As for weirdly specific things I'm looking for... I'm dying to find a great book about a cult or a survivalist or a plague... maybe all of them in one?" @ericsmithrocks #MSWL ericsmithrocks.com/mswl

"Crime fiction like Dennis Lehane." @CurtisPSLA #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

“I’d love to read some vibrant, Broadway/West End musical fiction. Give me glamour and behind-the-scenes action. Interesting, dramatic, but contemporary and upmarket.” @readbystephanie #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

“I’m a biography buff but it needs to have a fresh voice and a new angle, send me your funky takes on biography. I loved SO WE READ ON, a biography of THE GREAT GATSBY.” @maureen_moretti #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

"Sci-fi & fantasy novels. I love them. I read a ton of them. But they have to be accessible.What does that mean? It means that readers who don't traditionally pick up much sci-fi/fantasy, can pick up one of these novels & enjoy it." @ericsmithrocks #MSWL ericsmithrocks.com/mswl

"Thriller (legal, medical, political, etc.), Mystery (cozy, private eye, police procedural, etc.)" @CurtisPSLA #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/
