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

As a note, I'm fluent in Spanish and French, can read and understand a bunch of Italian and Portuguese, have studied a bit of Korean, and am currently obsessed with Chinese dramas. I absolutely want to get more queries from BIPOC authors and illustrators to better fill that hole in my list. #MSWL

I’m open to queries through the 7th!

I am on the hunt for MG and YA mysteries/thrillers, gothic horror, and intricate, inventive fantasy!

I’m especially looking for stories from BIPOC and queer writers.

YOUNG ADULT #YA
Vibrant and bold young adult novels with exceptional pacing and a distinct voice. My priorities in this space are horror (bonus points if rooted in folk lore) and mystery/thriller stories with a BIPOC main character.

a lot more Upmarket Women's Fiction/Book Club Fiction and Adult Mystery/Thriller from queer folks and BIPOC women

Begging for books that both have Something to Say and are extremely addictive/fun/compulsive. (I have many books like this, but this is as close to an agent brand as I have) #mswl

I’d rather read mss that attempt difficult things and execute them pretty well than ones that attempt what’s easy and execute it flawlessly. Dream big #MSWL ! Open for submissions in May, read more about what I'm interested in at www.manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/ch... lfpbooks.bsky.social

It's #MSWL day!! I'm currently closed to queries and working my way through, so this is going to be VERY specific. I'm hungry for BIPOC sports- and hobby-centric MG and YA. And in adult, BIPOC-led mysteries (including cozies) and thrillers. I don't get enough of either of these!! Link below:

Please be nice and don't use this link unless your work truly matches. If it doesn't match and it's submitted using this link, it's an automatic pass from me.
