On the YA side I want more SFF that features friend groups over “the chosen one” trope - I love a chaotic but loving found family! #mswl

I’m really grabbed by adult science fiction that takes place in near/far futures or invented worlds with technology that makes us question what it means to live well, with stories focused characters' unique lives like in Becky Chambers’ Wayfayers & Monk and Robot series #mswl

Would love to see upmarket novels about the complex lives of women told through a great narrative voice like in The Push by Ashley Audrain or The Mothers by Brit Bennett #mswl

A note first, if you queried me before December 16, 2022 please hold off on resending until February as I am still reading queries in my old system. Thanks!

I've opened back up to queries, looking for adult fiction: #mystery, #suspense, #thriller, #bookclub and #upmarketfiction. More info on what I'm looking for + my QM link here: bookendsliterary.com/myauthors/jame… #MSWL

If you are looking to submit your manuscript in 2023, do consider sending it my way! I'm looking for new clients writing literary, upmarket, and bookclub fiction - historical and contemporary - as well as select narrative non-fiction 📚 #MSWishlist #MSWL madeleinemilburn.co.uk/agents/olivia-…

I would love to see Egyptian, Roman, and Greek mythology retellings in my submissions #MSWL #manuscriptwishlist

Quick reminders:
1. Only query one Belcastro agent at a time.
2. I ONLY accept queries via my Query Manager: QueryManager.com/AmyGiuffrida

Any queries sent to my email, Twitter DM, Instagram, or LinkedIn will be deleted without being read.

If you hit anything on my wishlist, send it! If you have a little mix of a few things, send it! But if it's on my NO list, it's not for me...

In non-fiction, if you have a strong platform or the credentials to support your writing, I am open to most ideas. A strong narrative voice that will draw me is especially important.

Lastly, I have a wide-range of adult stories I'm seeking--many are the same from last year. BUT I am really into finding a paranormal romance and romantic suspense in 2023. My steam level varies, but the plot matters more than the sexiness. I don't rep erotical.

Teens who run illegal gambling rings--cards or sports--is an interest. Love when teens are smart, make their own money, and fool everyone!

I've been searching for a YA werewolf story FOREVER.

So many teens are reading a particular author, but I really would LOVE an authentic teen contemporary romance. The emotional rollercoaster. The disapproving parents. Messy. Concentual. Sweet. NOT written for adults--think the new season of Ginny and Georgia.

I mention sports stories in my #MSWL, but I really want them in conjunction with romance, mystery, or horror. Give me a teen looking to break out as a MMA fighter who is solving the murder of her trainer, while falling for the killer...I will faint.

I am looking for a lot of YA this year! Here's a little more of what I would love to see...

My middle grade list is fairly full, so I am only looking for: magical realism, contemporary, or mystery series (or with series possibility).

In all age categories, whether angsty or joyful, I will especially focus on stories written by traditionally underrepresented creators.
