Really hungry for adult/New Adult contemporary romance: sweet, steamy, romcom, poly, why choose, forced proximity, enemies to lovers, slow burn. YA contemporary rom, dark academia, gothic, horror, sf. Adult horror, thriller, psychological. Soft-med fantasy, sf, space opera #MSWL

Adding that I'm still so hungry for pacey lesbian thriller, especially anything that can be described as Master of the House but lesbian. If that's your book, let me know. 👀

#MSWL

Adult or YA contemporary romance with a speculative element (think sliding doors, time loops, things like that!) .

For those who haven't seen #Wildcat , you can watch on Amazon Prime. instagram.com/p/DCrLfbPxQGx/

Such a moving story! This is what led me to ask for something similar on my #MSWL ...but what could be better than signing the man behind the film himself? 🤩

To go with the new Bluesky life, I thought i'd reshare the updated #MSWL on the Bell Lomax Moreton website [link in bio]. Please have a browse and send me some great books.

someone please please PLEASE give me an upmarket speculative novel set in a travelling circus. a slightly more literary, fresh new take on THE NIGHT CIRCUS. bonus points if strong sense of aesthetic or historical anchoring. pls!!! #mswl

I am open to queries! #WritingCommunity #MSWL
Always in the vibe for magic and historical settings, dark academia, enemies to lovers (to enemies!), slow burn, unique curses, bad bargains, and morally gray characters I can't resist loving☺️ (NA, adult)

desperately wanna represent a warm/lighthearted/loving revenge novel centered on friendships a la FIRST WIVES CLUB (iconic) but without the fatphobia and unnecessary meanness #mswl #amquerying #writingcommunity #writesky

I’ll be open to new queries early 2025. In the meantime, you can come talk to me at one of the WDW conferences. I’ll be at the virtual Chicago Writing Day Workshop on December 7th, taking pitches and answering questions from authors.

I intend to update the rest of my website soon with my client list and some more info, but if you want to know whether we could be a good fit, my MWSL is the perfect place to start. I'm actively growing my list, just taking a some time to read submissions and give more attention to my clients.

I thought I’d wait until the new follows slowed to introduce myself, but that isn’t happening, so … Hi. I’m Thais and I’ve been an Associate Agent with Azantian Literary since May. 🥂

You can find my #MSWL here: thaisafonsoliterary.crd.co#mswl

#Writers #amquerying

I'd love adult or YA horror that goes beyond the haunted house. I'm ready for something new.

I am not the right agent for slashers. I'm okay with gore/body horror, but if it outweighs the suspense/atmosphere/creeping dread, then it's likely not a good fit. #mswl

This list is not exhaustive, but hopefully helpful & indicative.

CAA does now have a writer facing website, so we welcome your submissions here: www.caa.com/entertainmen...

And, as I said on The Other Place, thank you for indulging my whims - it’s a privilege to be a professional treasure-hunter

The formally interesting too - Benjamin Zephaniah, Ursula LeGuin or David Almond-esque.
I published MG & YA for 10 years and it will always have my heart - the market’s tough but the readers are still there!

I don’t tend to rep picture books or fiction younger than 7+

I feel very strongly that we need to focus on literary quality as well as accessibility in our books for children. Anything YA or MG that does any of the above, ideally with hook & humour, I’d love to see.

…returning to nature & to ourselves.

I will always be drawn to international stories and settings - what is unfamiliar (& uncomfortable!) to a Western reader.

I don’t tend to rep high fantasy, but love magic & a speculative hook.

Every kind of love, please.

Themes: always, always work that in some way acknowledges the ecological crisis in which we now & will always exist.

Radical reimaginings of how we might live, in terms of collective care, eradicating borders, tearing down capitalist, colonialist & imperialist structures…

Commercial-literary fiction in general: Bunny,Tender is the Flesh & Paul Takes the Form of Mortal Girl are all good examples.

I’m also looking for something big - perhaps a family drama, perhaps multi-generational - still with voice. I love Iris Murdoch, Toni Morrison & Barbara Kingsolver.

Literary / commercial-literary horror - see above…

Graphic novels across the market, but see 🧵 for general themes that I’m interested in.

Literary / commercial-literary romance. Especially if bi / pan / queer. I’m looking for both something sweeping & epic, & something more contemporary.

Writers of this better place: I’m closing submissions soon but before I do, I’d love some final books to sell! Here’s my #mswl :

High-concept YA - if it includes & addresses untold histories / historically marginalized characters, all the better

YA horror - ALL OF IT
