"I'd love to see adult fiction with light touches of magic like THE VERY SECRET SOCIETY OF IRREGULAR WITCHES and THE INHERITANCE OF ORQUÍDEA DIVINA."

I've temporarily closed to fiction queries to focus on my clients. However, I am still open to nonfiction proposals. Please see my pinned tweet for #MSWL

Calling all women's fiction authors! Fresh for 2023, @tanera_simons is looking for commercial, character-driven, evocative fiction! If you think that might be you, check out her Wishlist at the link below! darleyandersonblog.com/2023/02/02/tan… #amwriting #amquerying #mswl #romancebooks

🧵Updated #mswl today from team Kate Nash @JustinNashLit @saskialeach_ @BethFerguson__ @katenashagent

#mswl: a cosy crime set in the Netherlands or Denmark (like Seaside Hotel but with a body); a hospital-set saga (like Charité or New Nurses); and anything set in a hotel or involving a sea monster.

Some of my #MSWL: a historical in a tight social group (e.g. Viking War band, a WW1 trench or Arctic exploration), retro crime (50s to 70s), historical with light touch fantasy (gods/the supernatural) or a Cold War thriller set in East Germany #amwriting & #amquerying

Excited to reopen query manager and hope to see:
-Self help from BIPOC experts
-Mindfulness & social justice (like Rest Is Resistance)
-Narrative journalism
-Decolonizing themes
-Workplace humor from TikTokers
-Biz soft skills to big ideas esp

the best YA feels
✨specific enough that it's speaking to teens now, using their lexicon, understanding their concerns, but also
✨universal enough to evoke a sense of nostalgia, a yearning to comfort your past teen self

(from BEATING HEART BABY by @EmoOcean, soo good) #MSWL

I've officially reopened to queries! Please use this link to submit directly: QueryManager.com/JGraham. I'm so excited to dive into more queries as I finish up the requested material in my box! 😊

Also, check out my site for a more detailed #MSWL: jenissamichelle.com

Last few hours to get queries in to me before I close at midnight. My current #mswl can be found in my banner 🎉

Again, we’re trying this system, opening to queries during the first week of every month (1st-7th), & we’ll see how it goes! To submit or to read my longer #MSWL, please visit my QM page: querymanager.com/query/QueryMar… (during those days, ofc!)
Look forward to your queries!

What I’m not the best fit for:
•I do not currently represent New Adult or Adult
•I am currently not the best fit for text-only PBs or text-only GNs
•Pirates, time-travel, and stories that focus on teaching a lesson
6/7

In MG & YA (incl GNs by Author-Illustrators):
•Diverse contemporary stories and romcoms
•Grounded sub-genres like horror or mysteries
•Novels by marginalized writers w/ stories yet told
•Stories that take you on an adventure and an emotional roller coaster all at once
5/7

In Early Readers/Chapter Books:
•Standout characters with series potential
•Laugh-out-loud moments that are written with the reader in mind
•Stories that show marginalized kids having fun
4/7

In PBs from Author-Illustrators:
•Thought-provoking or entertaining stories that aren’t focused on teaching a lesson
•Slice of life moments with unique characters told through a kid-centric-POV
•Marginalized voices that allow the reader to feel seen
3/7

Illustrators/Author-Illustrators:
•Well-thought-out portfolios w/ interconnected illustrations that accurately represent our diverse world
•Artists w/ an easily recognizable signature look
•Images that emit emotion and make me laugh or cry
2/7

👇 means I’ll be open to queries starting tomorrow (hoping this system will make the process more manageable for everyone!)

I’m looking to add to my list of passionate authors & illustrators who love & believe in the art of storytelling.
 
With that, my current 2023 #MSWL: 1/7

"Psychological dramas are high on my wish-list, as are high-concept thrillers that keep me guessing. My favorite titles defy expectations and subvert stereotypes."
