#MSWL I’d love to see more stories set on or near the ocean, stories with set time frames, high stakes and clear motives! Stories set on other planets would be fun too!

Happy #MSWL day! I’m on the hunt for a rare gem of a historical or upmarket Caribbean story/voice steeped in island culture with an immersive setting.

I think a story with a masculine presenting/masculine of center main female character could be really fun! YA or otherwise (a romance could also be interesting!) 🤔 #MSWLIt’s #MSWL Day! I’m exited to see what we’re all longing/wishing/dreaming for. I’ve been sharing a few things here and there but if you want know more check out my full list here:

Happy #MSWL Day!
I am still closed to unsolicited queries for the time being, but I updated my profile to give those at pitch events and those who are thinking of querying me once I reopen an idea of what I'm looking for!

I'm still closed until about April. BUT...I'll reopen for about 1 week only & will give advance notice here. I'll be looking for ONLY HISTORICAL ROMANCE (Regency, preferred) & YA Mystery/Thriller. Strong desire for BIPOC & LGBTQ authors/stories. So get those queries ready!

& How could I forget!? NEW ADULT, NEW ADULT, NEW ADULT is all genres
Mark my words, publishing, this will become a thing!
Literary Agent
Overall things & random misc.:
- Any and all BIPOC
- Anything Tarot-related
- Unique structures like REPLICA or stories told in fragments
- What if the main character loses or doesn't get the happily ever after?
- Messy relationships, regretful choices, & life or death decisions
Literary Agent
In MG, still looking for spooky with a series of competitions or games 🧩
Think "Ordinary character in extraordinary circumstances".
Also, tear-jerking novel-in-verse

Literary Agent
In YA, Dark Academia with a haunting setting: creepy tunnels, secret societies, and characters with questionable motives/abilities 🏰
Rom Com's 💕 Slow burning romances. Bonus points if it's with an out of school setting
Fantasy 🪄 New spin on magic world and/or powers

It's #MSWL Day... 📜
In Adult I'm now open to SFF, so I'd love to see lush world building, morally grey MC's & lovable villains 🖤
Time Travel where it compliments a much bigger plot 🪐
I'm still on the look out for a psychological thriller with an unreliable narrator 🎭

It's #MSWL Day, & what I'm most excited about right now is LOVE stories! Please, please gimme 'em! Also, I'd love to see thrillers in the adult & YA space. There's more–because I'm greedy like that–so check out the new manuscript wishlist page. Thanks! manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/Jemi…

I'm not actively looking for new MG at this time, and I'm being selective with new YA but still very excited about the ones I get excited about. Send me your contemporaries & your very fresh-feeling fantasy in particular!
Literary Agent
Several of my YA romance writers are pivoting to adult and I am having a great time with it, so I'm opening to adult rom-coms for the first time! Still not the best fit for genre romance, but send me your funny, layered, high-concept mainstream rom-coms.
Literary Agent
Big fascinating SFF with a moment that grabs you by the throat, like EMPIRE OF EXILES or the forthcoming THESE BURNING STARS - or, not on my list, THE TRAITOR BARU CORMORANT or GIDEON THE NINTH.
