I expect to be open to queries through the spring. Please bear with me as I learn the kinks of QM. As always, I do not accept pitches via social media and, going forward, I will not accept email queries except as noted on kt’s website.

Looking forward to reading your work! (7/7)

- Feel good stories that center female friendship + group dynamics a la Babysitters Club or teen-versions of League of Their Own + Call the Midwife
- Witches
(6/7 #MSWL)

- YA historical/ +fantasy/ +romance that doesn’t take itself too seriously a la My Lady Jane, Gentleman’s Guide, Bridgerton, The Great
- Native and rural voices, especially from the Pacific Northwest or Inland Northwest
(5/7 #MSWL)

Here’s some specific #MSWL items:
- Contemporary MG in the vein of Kelly Yang, Corey Ann Haydu, Tae Keller
- Tweens + teens making messy decisions like in Babysitters Club + Never Have I Ever
- Contemporary MG + YA graphic novels (my list is already full of speculative)
(4/7)

The categories I’m looking for, in order of priority, are:
- YA and MG graphic novels from author-illustrators (one person)
- MG and YA prose novels
- Nonfiction for kids and teens
- Chapter books and picture books from author-illustrators (one person)
(3/7 #MSWL)

My general #MSWL remains the same and you can find that (and kt literary’s querying guidelines) here: ktliterary.com/submissions And with more detail here: manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/laur…. (2/7)

My more professional actual agents page is here if anyone is interested. New year, same old me because I like what I like #mswl: andrewnurnberg.com/team-member/si…

For the afternoon crowd, I refreshed my #mswl and threaded a couple of highlights below. Not huge changes, but I did add a genre and tweaked what I was looking for in another.

Across categories: A perennial ask, but #Latinx stories from #Latinx creators! Especially from authors of Puerto Rican, Dominican, or Cuban descent. #mswl

Adult Romance: High concept stories that are just shy of bonkers are always my jam. If you have to caveat an idea with “wait, but hear me out” it’s likely that I will be interested in seeing more. #mswl

YA/MG: Kids with chronic conditions, especially invisible ones, grappling with new diagnoses or figuring out how to navigate old ones in the face of growing up and gaining more responsibility for self-care is a space that has room for growth in this category. #mswl

Adult Mystery: My tastes here are pretty specific. If you've listened to my old friend, @taylorswift13, say you have a story that would comp to “Vigilante Shit” or “no body, no crime” then you’re 100% in my wheelhouse. #mswl

Adult Romance: Romance that sweeps me off my feet. Heroes who love hard and fast and true. I ADORE a good HE FALLS FIRST story. I also love it when HE TRIES TO SAVE HER BUT SHE SAVED HERSELF FIRST. #mswl

Across categories/genres: #LGBTQ stories of all flavors, any retelling “but make it gay” is pretty much would be something I want to read always. #mswl

We're halfway through January and I finally had the time to give my #mswl a long-overdue facelift.
I'll thread some highlights below, but as a reminder, this is not all-encompassing. This is meant to give you a sense of my taste and what tends to appeal.
