A quick overview: I'm at @ParkandFine building a list of select middle grade, YA, and adult genre fiction. You can check out my full MSWL post here: manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/stut…

1. I will open for a month only. (By doing it in controlled bursts I can make sure it doesn't overwhelm me).

2. Genres. I will be only opening to a few genres:

Action & Adventure (adult)

Thriller/ mystery: Adult and YA.

Fantasy YA.

Fantasy Romance Adult and YA.

🤍Adult Romance🤍
Contemporary college stories
Interconnected standalone series
Heartbreaking stories about young women finding their identities
Deals gone wrong
Marriage of convenience
✨Romantasy✨
Campy genre fiction
Fated mates

In both YA and Adult, I want these two buffoons. A political backdrop with extensive world building and incredible conflicts anchored by the hatred and love of two people who are somehow functioning when they should probably be dead

GRAPHIC NOVELS—I’d love to work on more graphic novels, from MG to YA to Adult. I’m open to taking a look at anything here. Try me! Some of my favorite GNs: PUMPKINHEADS, BATTER ROYALE, THE PRINCESS AND THE DRESSMAKER, PASHMINA, MEASURING UP, ISLA TO ISLAND. #MSWL

SPECULATIVE—I’d love to find adult fiction with light touches of magic such as magical realism, cozy fantasy, or magic-tinged rom coms. THE INHERITANCE OF ORQUÍDEA DIVINA, THE VERY SECRET SOCIETY OF IRREGULAR WITCHES, THE EX HEX, and EMILY WILDE’S ENCYCLOPAEDIA OF FAERIES. #MSWL

Hey! Here is a more detailed look at my current #MSWL. I’m specifically looking to expand the adult fiction portion of my client list this year so that’s what I’m going to be highlighting here—

"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!"

When I reopen to queries in March, I’d like to see more adult romance & I want to see more bi, pan, and demi MCs too 🌈✨ #mswl

I am officially open to queries!

I've done a big website update to share some new #MSWL items: paigeterlip.com/submissions.ht…

But I'd love to further grow my adult list this year, so including adult MSWL specifics below! #amquerying #amwriting

I'm still dying for projects by Indigenous authors in PB, MG, YA, or adult: contemporary romance, romcom, thriller, mystery, or suspense. #MSWL #WritingCommunity

I would love more MG fantasy in my inbox #MSWL 😊 also romance (adult not YA)

"I want stories that celebrate neurodiversity, from authors who are themselves neurodivergent, both in fiction and nonfiction, middle grade, young adult, and adult."

Rom-coms – Funny with smart dialogue, and tons of witty banter between the romantic leads! Nothing overly corny or predictable. For adult: BOOK LOVERS, RED WHITE AND ROYAL BLUE, THE LOVE HYPOTHESIS, GET A LIFE CHLOE BROWN. For YA—love Gloria Chao’s books!

Horror, YA & adult - To me, the best horror has social commentary (WHAT WE HARVEST, EAT YOUR HEART OUT). I love horror blended with fantasy or fairy tales. I never get tired of creepy forests & small towns with secrets, whether it’s a current setting, historical, or high fantasy!

Fantasy, YA and adult - Unique world-building, atmospheric writing, and strong characters first and foremost (I gravitate towards strong female leads especially!). Comps and topics I love:

This year, I’ll be looking first for MG, then YA, then adult, then PB. My preference is for dark genre work (fantasy, horror, suspense) and rom-coms/lighter contemporary! I’m newly open to adult rom-coms after falling in love with a few last year. 😁

"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."
