Ok, if you have a book that could be described as A DEADLY EDUCATION meets A MARVELLOUS LIGHT (magicians, possibly magic school, gay, romantic, extremely fun to read), please send it my way ASAP, I am dying for this. #mswlAlso, specifically, still into this tweet from 2021: twitter.com/bredalot/statu…
Literary Agent
Romantic SFF along the lines of CM Waggoner, Freya Marske, THE UNDERTAKING OF HART & MERCY, or WINTER'S ORBIT (or the secret book that will be announced v soon, hang tight)

Here's my #MSWL post on Tumblr. (Yes, I still have a tumblr. There are funny memes.) at.tumblr.com/esckeyes/emily…

Also, for this entire #MSWL thread, I cannot emphasize enough how I want to see all of these stories especially from marginalized creators. 💖
Literary Agent
I’m also a sucker for anything comped to Studio Ghibli in middle grade!
I’m open to more serious topics in mg if they’re executed in a thoughtful and engaging way. #MSWL
Literary Agent
In middle grade, I’m always hungry for action, adventure, magic, and humor. It can be fantasy or contemporary, or a little bit of both. Give me your fresh takes on magical school settings or just fun friendship stories filled with hijinks. #MSWL
Literary Agent
As for children’s, I’m always open to YA in almost all genres, especially fantasy, contemporary, and thriller. I just want strong concepts and smart MCs with engaging voices that pull me along for the ride and make me want to root for them the entire way. #MSWL
Literary Agent
I want to see fun and sweet contemporary romances with high concept hooks in the adult space as well. Think Lily Chu’s The Stand In or Emily Henry’s Book Lovers. I’m probably not the right agent for more serious romance stories. #MSWL
Literary Agent
I’d love to see more horror in my inbox. It can be adult (or YA). Not slash and hack bloody horror, but the kind that builds psychological tension in a smart and surprising way. #MSWL
Literary Agent
I’m expanding into repping more adult projects in genre fiction. I want to see more cozy fantasy, romantic or not, with low stakes, warmth, humor and whimsy. Basically a hug in book form. #MSWL
Literary Agent
It’s #MSWL Day! I’ve always been so bad of coming up with specifics because I really am a reader who likes being surprised and is open to falling in love with a great story, but with that being said here’s some info about general things I’m looking for:
Literary Agent
My full #mswl can be found on the agency website but here’s what I’m especially looking for in 2023:
—Adult + YA RomCom that are FUNNY AF *or/and* Adult Romance w a magic/spec twist
—Suspense/Thrillers (we need more queer and POC rep in this category!)
—MG Fantasy! All kinds!
Literary Agent
Hi all--updated my #MSWL page here for 2023: manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/jess… Would love to hear from you!
Literary Agent
If you think you've got something that's a good fit for my list, please query me at my Query Manager (I do not accept queries via email). Here's the link: querymanager.com/query/LauraRen…
I look forward to reading your work! #MSWL
Literary Agent
And finally, though this is less specific... I'm looking for a novel that SURPRISES me! #MSWL
Literary Agent
Send me your thrillers or mysteries that feel authentic and bring in the experience, culture, and sense-of-place of less-represented perspectives and new voices. #MSWL
