“I want to read geeky and accessible adult commercial fiction. Show me all the cool things the comic con kids grew up to do.” @readbystephanie #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

Same! #MSWL (agented only, so send to Thao first! 😉)

I'd love to have more how-to (adult/kids) books on my list! From beekeeping to bookkeeping, I'd love to hear your ideas! #MSWL

“If you have How-Tos for beauty and self-care, I’m interested. Think sustainable and eco-friendly, capsule wardrobes and decluttering, etc. Adult and YA welcome.” @readbystephanie #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

I'll never not love & rep Children's books, but I am hungry for Adult titles in the up market genre-adjacent spaces; Suspense, Mystery, Speculative, SFF. Recent (to me) favorites include Marlon James, Lucy Foley, Katherine Arden, Kate Racculia, Britt Bennett, N.K. Jemisin. #MSWL

I meant, who wouldn't #MSWL this list?

Agents, I would love to see more adult subs! I'm looking for upmarket book club fiction. If you have the next Kiley Reid, Raven Leilani, Celeste Ng, Silvia Moreno-Garcia, Brit Bennett, Camille Pagán, Asha Lemmie, or any other authors who write in this space, send my way! #MSWL

Growing up Spiritualist (yes, I did!), an Edwardian/Victorian YA or adult with a supernatural or fantasy twist is welcome (we can lean into Gothic, too!) #MSWL

My forever #MSWL —really craving some ghostly Victorian fiction (agented! YA or adult!)

Also going to add that Hocus Pocus will always be #MSWL inspo. Make it middle grade or adult fiction and I NEED to see it.

#MSWL YA and adult romance: rom coms, rom sads, contemporary, historical, particularly love enemies to lovers and fake dating (agented only)

Wait! Did I tell you I LOVE ghosts or witches? No? Well, please share all of your ghosts and witch stories. 👻 🧙‍♀️ #MG #YA #A #MSWL

I want a YA or Adult Rom-Com that is so cute, funny, and steamy. If yours includes an interracial relationship, I'll be your best friend! And when it comes to love stories, I am especially open to LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC. #MSWL

In MG, YA, and Adult, I want characters who have to fight to be good because being bad is so easy. #MSWL

"Send me all your ghost stories. I'll take adult fiction (scary or fun), a history of haunted places in America, an illustrated book-- you name it, I'm here for it." @claire_m_harris #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

The thing that makes me keep reading is VOICE. Please send me your voice-y narratives. I want access to your narrator’s INNER LIFE. I should feel what they are feeling. They should feel ‘bad’ things (e.g. anger, envy, greed, etc.), too.

I want to read stories that are dark + taboo. I ❤️ secrets and revelations. I ❤️ plot twists. I ❤️ reading about characters that grow up navigating two opposite worlds (class, culture, etc.). I do NOT like reading about perpetually happy, good, and moral characters (snooze).

Does your story have a feminist angle? 💪Does it involve parentified children? Does your MC consider herself to be a bad person? Did she have to reinvent herself? I AM INTO ALL OF THIS.

Is your protagonist unlikable? GREAT. Does she lie and pretend to survive? GIMME. Is she an overthinker and an overfeeler? WHY HAVEN’T YOU QUERIED ME YET? 😍

I would love to read a novel that takes place in a boarding school. Authentic writing is a MUST so if you didn’t go to a boarding school your research better be so incredible as to trick me into thinking you did. (I am not easily tricked.)
