I’d love to see:

🏔️a thriller involving high altitude mountaineering
🌊a thriller set in the North Sea
🥀 dark academia story involving botany
🍄cottagecore and cottagegore stories

Check out the images below for Alex's updated #MSWL ! She's hunting for #MG horror and fantasy, #YA thriller and fantasy, and anything gothic. Stories featuring #LGBTQ characters are a huge plus!

-memoir. Recently enjoyed Lowborn by Kerry Hudson, Educated by Tara Westover and Matrescence by Lucy Jones

-as someone living with an invisible disability, I'd love to receive submissions with disabled protagonist or written by those living with a disability themselves

-novels set in the real world but featuring magic. Think Rivers of London, Thread needle, A Discovery of Witches or The Gifts. Or cosy fantasy like Legends and Lattes, T J Clune or books about magical bookshops

-novels featuring time-travel or parallel universes (think Life After Life, This is How You Lose the Time War, Wrong Place, Wrong Time or The Summer of Impossible Things)

-crime, thrillers and suspense. Either cosy (e.g Over My Dead Body by Maz Evans or Richard Osman-esque), blackly comic (like My Sister, the Serial Killer) or intelligent and inclusive (Gillian Flynn vibes). I also love novels that feature a 'beat the system' narrative

🧵 Submission details can be found on the HS LA website, but I am especially keen to see in my #MSWL :

-book club and literary fiction, especially if featuring people going through difficult circumstances or written by Irish authors. E.g Shuggie Bain or My Name is Leon.

Some exciting publishing news! I haven't written a book, I'm going back to being a literary agent, joining @hannah_litagent @HS_LA_News :

Folks look at this thread 🧵 for a sort of anti #MSWL . Word counts (except for me not repoing young kid lit) aren’t hard and fast rules so don’t count yourself out if your in the neighborhood.

New thought: a lot of the accessible literary books I've read and loved which feature young (straight) women have them going from man to man. While that's a completely normal experience—where are the early 20s women going ???? men??? Please bring those books to me

Taking the opportunity to add one more desire to my #MSWL I’d love to see a good contemporary romance with a hot sports guy. Steamy? Sure! If you have it, I’d love to see it. #amquerying #amediting #WriterCommunity #writers #ContemporaryRomance

Hey uh if you do this and you also know the difference between a loop and an axel, PLEASE send it to me. #MSWL

(Extra points if neither character is based on the athlete on the right in the original post. 😌)

maybe it's just cause my bf and i are rereading percy jackson but where are the queer myth retellings? where are the non-Greek mythology ones? i want them pleeeeease #MSWL

Wooooo! #query #mswl #agentlife #authorsrock

I would really love a YA novel that feels like CLASS OF '07 and SEX LIVES OF COLLEGE GIRLS. #MSWL

This list is very non-exhaustive!! I love finding those books that I initially think might not be my cup of tea and then I read it a fall in love. These are just a few of the genres I’m looking out for:)

Finally YA mystery or thrillers. I am a SUCKER for mystery in a small town, and kids left to their own defenses to solve it

Would love to see more books with dark academia setting/ competitive high stakes, romance and/or magic woven into the plot

Looking for a more YA fantasy-either urban/contemporary or second-world!
