Update: I'm building my list in New Adult and Adult Fiction, with a focus on Literary and Speculative Fiction. I’m especially interested in representing Latino/Hispanic, LGBTQ+, African-American, and Asian American writers. Please follow the submission guidelines before submitting. #MSWL #queries

I’m open to queries! Looking for New Adult and adult fiction and nonfiction in the genres listed below. Send your query and the first 40,000 words to jonathan@olswangerliterary.com. Use this subject line: Query – [Reader Category] / [Genre].
#MSWL #queries

I would so vibe with an adult or maybe YA (think Percy Jackson) where we find out all the Greek statues were people turned to stone by Medusa — and she’s back? Or something smart. Engage writer brains. #MSWL give me 👀 if you have this now

5. Horror (adult or YA)! Just getting my feet wet, but would love more feminist lens/ feminist horror a la Maeve Fly by CJ Leede or Nightbitch by Rachel Yoder. Not super into gore, more into social commentary, voice is paramount--take me on a journey through the MC's mind! #MSWL

2. Adult & YA graphic novels, fiction or non-fiction in the vein of Ducks by Kate Beaton, Advocate by Eddie Ahn, Trashed by Derk Backderf, or A Fire Story by Brian Fies. Looking for GN authors or artists (even better if you write and illustrate) w/ a unique perspective. #MSWL

3. In adult novels: women’s, literary, historical, and book club fiction. Give me fresh premises, people being badass in real/believable settings, and anything that helps me see real life in a new way.

3/5

"Seeking generational stories of parenthood and family with non-binary and/or trans characters in the commercial or historical adult fiction genre (ie. heavy with plot!)"
Carly Watters #MSWL

"I want adult fiction for an audience of twenty-somethings. Show me the young women navigating adulthood, sexuality, passion, and careers circa CAREERING by Daisy Buchanan, and SUCH A FUN AGE by Kiley Reid."
Nour Sallam #MSWL

Hi everyone!

I expanded my genre list to include Horror! Here's what I'm looking for in this genre:

- New Adult/Adult Paranormal horror (supernatural elements)
- New Adult/Adult horror based on folklore!! Especially non-Western
- NO SA or DV! (this is an auto-reject)

#MSWL

I'm hoping to rep YA, New Adult, and Adult fiction written by, for, and about traditionally underrepresented communities -- authors who write in these categories and are BIPOC, neurodiverse, queer, disabled, immigrants, etc., please come say hi! I want to work with you. :) #MSWL

My #MSWL is officially live, and I can publicly announce that I've been promoted to Associate Agent at jenniedunhamlit.bsky.social. This is a dream. I'm so excited to begin building my list, and can't wait to hear from you! <3 www.manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/le...

Please feel free to query me with anything on my broader wishlist, within SFF and romance for YA, NA and Adult.

But these are the books that I will be especially excited by right now, based on what I am missing in my list and/or what makes me clap my hands with glee!

I can't wait to dive back in!

UPDATE: I'm currently open to queries for historical romance (yes, that's new!!!), romcom, contemporary romance, dark romance, romantasy, horror, women's fiction, and adult nonfiction. For more deets, go to my #MSWL page:
manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/lynnette-novak/

Please note, I am only looking for New Adult or Adult fiction at this time. This may be subject to change in the future, but as it stands, only those two age ranges.

I will be on vacation from June 13-22, and so that makes sense to me as a trial run for this new method. I'll give as many reminders as I can in the meantime, and I will still only be open to Adult & YA, SFF & romance.

Important: Do not submit to me anything that contains generative AI material.

My adult #MSWL is similar to my kidlit wants! I’m very interested in non-memoir non fiction (though I’m always open to a good memoir), uplifting literary fiction, and fun genre fiction that pushes boundaries and/or offers something innovative. See previous post about what I DON’T want. Open on 6/1.
