We're also looking to grow our commercial adult fantasy list in stories with a genre hook, especially expansive fantasy and psychological horror. Thing JADE CITY, CITY OF BRASS, THE ATLAS SIX, MEXICAN GOTHIC, THE ONLY GOOD INDIANS. #MSWL

We are so excited to announce that @Sarah_Nicolas is now open to queries. Give them a follow and check out their thread below as they detail their #MSWL

Good luck to all! twitter.com/Sarah_Nicolas/…

This is so exciting, y'all. I am officially open to queries!

You can see all my info at sarahnfisk.com but here's a little #MWSL thread

I'm open to all genres in MG and YA, as well as Adult Romance and SFF.

Adult contemporary fiction set in the Midwest. #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. Spook me! #MSWL

Calling all writers specializing in laughter and love! I’m actively seeking submissions for adult romcoms with elements of social media. My sweet spot is big on the com, light/medium on the rom. #MSWL

Adult romcoms with new twists on classic tropes: friends/enemies to lovers, fake dating, stuck together, opposites attract, second chances. #MSWL

Reality sucks, so give me escapism. Send me your adult thriller, your YA thriller, or YA romance, or YA sweet friendship story, or or or. I have enough problems right now, I NEED to escape. #MSWL

YA and Adult science fiction and fantasy that escapes tropes and plays with my expectations and my heart: like Gideon the Ninth by Tamsyn Muir or The World Gives Way by Marissa Levien #mswl #YAsff #AdultSFF

YOUNG ADULT:
--QTPOC romance with banter, emotionally complex, flawed characters, and ✨ intersectionality ✨
--High-concept speculative fiction examining current issues (esp horror & magical realism)
--Sweeping historical fiction about untold movements, events, or individuals

Also HORROR! Mostly just MG and Adult, not YA.

No blood/guts/gore, but psychological and suspenseful.

Love gothic horror
ghosts and ghoulies welcome
Think things like Mexican Gothic, Doll Bones, Oculus, etc.
#querytip #amquerying #writingcommunity

SUPER picky with Adult right now! Mainly contemporary, graphic novel, & historical. Fantasy worldbuilding MUST be on point & want more non-American/English storylines

Para romances not at top of my list
Looking for rom-coms, but selective
#querytip #amquerying #writingcommunity

I'd really love to do some Adult Non-Fiction this year. I'm mainly interested in food writing/history (think CORK DORK, DRUNK, THE COOKING GENE). #MSWL

I'm now open to queries for 2022 in #F and #SF for #A and #YA!

✨Check my MSWL page at: erniechiara.com/mswl.

✨My ever-expanding, mega infinite #MSWL thread at:
twitter.com/erniechiara/st….

✨And send your query and first 20 pages to QueryManager.com/ErnieChiara.

In very basic terms, I am on the lookout for adult fiction and non-fiction, as well as non-fiction for age 7+, MG and YA. And, I've said it before - and I'll say it again - if you're writing something like East is East, please send it my way. #mswl

New year, time to share a new #MSWL thread of things I’d love to see this year.

I am actively looking for: Adult, YA & MG.

And I am eager to support commercial and high stakes stories featuring BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, disability, and neurodiversity representation.

(A thread)

1/?

✨ contemporary and well-researched historical queer romance, with pining and butterflies and swoony tension and steaminess and a REALLY strong hook
✨ books that celebrate books, both MG and adult
✨ heists, cons, scams, the more glam the better (no cishet man protags)

#MSWL

i would love to see:
✨ BIPOC, LGBTQ+, disabled, neurodivergent, undocumented, historically excluded voices
✨ adult fiction set in latin america (esp brazil) across genre, own voices
✨ MG fantasy feat. non-western folklore and high personal stakes

#MSWL

I will remain open to Adult SFF, but given that I have many wonderful clients writing in that space, it won't be my focus this year.

#mswl

OK, #MSWL time. In Adult, I want SUSPENSE, especially centering women, queer characters, and BIPOC. I prefer smaller scale, with high personal stakes.

I'm not the right fit for detectives/police/military or ppl running around the world trying to stop [insert catastrophic thing]
