As you can see from the above image, there's some changes in my MSWL. My amazing clients have mostly filled my kidlit roster, but I am starving for some adult! Especially thriller, speculative, and sci-fi. If you've got a weird little book, I want to see it! #MSWL (2/6)

For adult fiction in general, give me more books that blend genre. All stories are mysteries, and I love a book that leans into its mystery element even if it’s not actively a mystery novel. I also love fabulist or surrealist stories, broadly.

In adult horror, I am more a fan of the psychological than the monstrous, unless the monster is a metaphor. I would love something darkly comic; I would love something in the vein of BOY PARTS.

In adult SFF: give me big and epic in scope without sacrificing character work. Touchpoints I’ve been thinking of lately are THE STARS UNDYING, BARU CORMORANT, and INK BLOOD SISTER SCRIBE. I love intricate worldbuilding and being tricked by the narrative!

I’m looking primarily for adult and YA fiction right now. (No nonfiction pls, and I don’t work on anything younger than MG.) I am a genre lover first and foremost, and I’m always looking for underrepresented voices (more on that below).

For adult fiction only (since these genres don't apply to children's): 4. Bookclub/women’s fiction: Voice-driven, high-concept novels across these categories. 5. Romance: Upmarket romance with a great one-line pitch. Happy with spice.

here's a general sense of what I want for reference. For MG, YA and Adult: 1. Fantasy/Science Fiction: High fantasy, low fantasy, cosy fantasy. Particularly interested in fantasy and SF inspired by underrepresented cultures with unique world-building.

Thought I'd share my fiction #MSWL as I prepare to open! As mentioned, my list will be 60/40 towards MG/YA, the rest adult. I don't have much MG so during my first open query week, I will be considering MG only. However, I'll do different genres and age-groups each month, so🧵

The 40 will comprise of adult fiction, mainly, with the odd non-fiction project thrown in. I'll do a more specific MSWL in the coming days ready for when I open up. I will use Query Manager like before and will keep my semi-personalized rejections system.

General #MSWL 3:

Very commercial books for New Adult and Adult Gen-Z and Millennial audiences that feature sticky hooks and feel like they’re doing something fun, new, and BIGGER with their genre.

General #MSWL 2:

Select Adult upmarket/literary work that is super high concept and feels fresh and hyper relevant (especially work that explores or intersects family/culture/history à la THE JOY LUCK CLUB).

I’ve decided to stay open to queries through November 7th before closing for the year. 🎉 I’m still actively looking for adult werewolves, horror, commercial fiction, and more! Excited to read more amazing stories!

Tidbits on what I’m hunting: adult/YA horror; romance (sweet, dark, steam; romcoms, meet cutes, sports hero protagonists, etc.); thrillers/psych susp.; YA dark academia; adult/YA fantasy/romantasy (r’masy must be very unique); & more. Read #mswl #WritingCommmunity #amquerying
