I also want non-fiction on a variety of topics including (but not limited to) love, relationships, popular culture, politics and history. Books that make complicated ideas more accessible. Also very much on the hunt for cookery and food books. 🥘🧑‍🍳

Crime and thriller: Send me truly unputdownable books with twists that you really don’t see coming or mysteries that get the cogs of your brain turning, like True Crime Story or The Appeal. (Not police procedural though please). 🦹‍♀️

Also platonic relationships – parents, siblings, friendships. 👯‍♀️ I’m desperate to find a big sweeping novel, something multi-generational like Pachinko or that tracks a relationship through its timeline like Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow.

I love love stories!! 🩷❤️ Whether it’s all-encompassing, meant-to-be love, or smaller and quieter, I want to see it. If it’s a queer love story – even better!

Story is key to the books I enjoy; I’m always looking for a plot to drive me through a novel and I love NF that reads almost like a story at the same time as it educates and informs. It’s also super important to me to work with authors from a wide variety of backgrounds.

🚨 I’d really love to take on some more authors in 2024! 🚨

I’ve just updated my agent page which you can view here blakefriedmann.co.uk/sianellis-martin but here’s a quick thread on my tastes and what I’m looking for in fiction and non-fiction. 🧵👇

as someone who loves HEAs, I need my sci-fi to be at least hopeful, especially if its near-future! #MSWL

#MSWL I would LOVE to see pen pal contemporary romance queries. Love letters are 😍

I, for one, can't get enough of this trend. Authors, if you're writing a healing fiction novel, hmu!🌼#MSWL

This is a FABULOUS book: a narrative nonfiction masterpiece. I wish I would get more submissions in that space. Think "Playing Through The Whistle " by S.L Price. #MSWL

Whoever said they were Kaz and Inej coded was SPOT. ON. If they have this energy (adult or YA), I want to see it #MSWL

Send me your genre fiction with hope in it! #MSWL #querying #AmAgenting

Gossip Girl meets How To Get Away With Murder, I am OBSESSED with the Netflix adaptation of #OneofUsisLying

New on my #MSWL when I reopen is a paranormal mystery in the vein of @Ll20Victoria 's GHOST HUNTER series (Dang, I miss that series!) or @JulietBlackwell 's WITCHCRAFT MYSTERIES...but with a super-strong romantic will-they-or-won't-they sub plot.

I'm OPENING TO QUERIES on June 3rd & will turn over a new leaf by responding to all queries w/in 30 days. With that in mind, please take your time sending your query. If I don't get slammed in the first 24-48 hours, I'll stay open indefinitely! Hello, Anxiety!

I really want to see more YA Fantasy in my inbox. Romantic Fantasy, grounded/contemporary fantasy, paranormal fantasy. Light magic, spooky magic, bizarre magic. Dark, frothy and fun, ALL OF IT. #mswl

And this Fall I’ll circle back to Adult fiction in other categories, including fantasy, historical, and romance. Keep reading for details. 🧵

August/September give me kidlit of any kind (check out my #MSWL on manuscriptwishlist.com for preferences).

July I’d love to see contemporary fiction in any genre or age category! I’ll also take poetry and novel-in-verse.

May/June my focus will be on Non-Fiction (all ages, but especially non-memoir NF) and Adult Action/Adventure/Suspense.
