Happy to take part in manuscriptwishlist.bsky.social #MSWL Day! Please see my full guidelines for more information www.stormliteraryagency.com/submission-g...

But I'd love to see something with the different cultures and #LGBTQ influences of XO, Kitty in YA Contemporary Romance!

Also helpful to know that I love historical British/BBC mysteries, like Miss Scarlet and the Duke, Endeavor, Grantchester, Dalgliesh. #mswl

right now, I am particularly thirsty for queer romance (high concept, speculative, or historical), grounded fantasy (cozy or literary > epic), and literary fiction about gender and the body, queer and trans histories and futures, and characters who are trying hard to imagine a kinder world.

Happy #MSWL day! Working with a decent amount of nonfiction now, so would love voice-driven upmarket fiction to balance it out. Always enjoy a splash of genre and weirdness with a heart (MARGO'S GOT MONEY TROUBLES; THE WEDDING PEOPLE, etc.) Full wishlist:

Reposting my wishlist here for #MSWL day: www.watsonlittle.com/agent/hannah...

I'd love to find more thrillers and suspense (especially with a horror edge), and general commercial and upmarket fiction. Give my colleagues a try for romantasy and literary fiction!

Elements I gravitate toward include:
-- queer/trans content
-- diaspora, third-culture, & semi-visible "other"nesses
-- nerds, scholars, niche experts
-- nature & ecosystems
-- communication, translation, deciphering
-- quieter & more communal kinds of resistance (e.g. unions, Bartleby)
-- the Weird

some keywords that always catch my attention, in no particular order: queer, trans, archive, epistolary, speculative, fabulist, weird, dis/ability, theater, classroom, library, romance, quirky, cozy, culinary, madcap, haberdashery, rabbit. 🐇

I'm open to queries on QueryManager for the first week of every month, and there's lots more info to peruse here:

peruse a nifty visual version of my wishlist here, complete with the covers of many books I would have loved to have worked on! arc.net/e/CF24F0F8-4...

It's #MSWL day! I'm looking for writers of adult fiction and occasionally nonfiction who approach the world with wonder & keenness, imagination & care, and heart & humor.

In Mystery/Suspense, I'm here for whodunits that are semi-cozy, like books by Richard Osman or Nita Prose. Also note the settings (retirement community, hotel), love the idea of a mystery in a monastery or botanical garden, where place is super visual. I <3 unexpected, underestimated sleuths. #MSWL

A few things I'm NOT looking for:
-- evil, possessed, or demonic babies. Please do not send.
-- solo heroes toppling an empire within 1-3 books.
-- magical bloodlines and demigods.
-- cops. Yes, including in mystery.
-- comps to the Handmaid's Tale

I do not represent YA or any other kidlit.

I’m craving more:
-STEM-inspired genre fiction/magic
-Grounded sci-fi like Severance, Primer, The Martian
-SFF like Arcane
-Horror like I Saw the TV Glow
-Escapist, action-packed reads
-Trans & queer romance
-Compelling villains

I am not right for:
-Military/police MCs
-Contemporary
-Lower MG

Happy #MSWL day! I’m Aiden Siobhan at @ldlainc .bsky.social. I rep Adult, YA & MG! I am on the hunt for:
-Diverse stories that are joyful, defiant, inspiring
-Genre fiction & blends
-Fresh settings/adaptions/myths
-Disability, mental health, and ND rep

I know everyone is saying this, but if I am manifesting anything in 2025 it is this: I want a big high concept book. #MSWL

4. A murder mystery with no murder! A murderless mystery! Must be fair play, must have that Christie/Sayers feeling. Especially interested if it's set largely on the internet, this land of false identities, faked deaths, and character assassinations. Comp: the premise of THE VERIFIERS, YELLOWFACE

More like this, too! #mswl

Hi all! It's #MSWL Day and I'm looking for more smart upmarket suspense like this!

3. I'm dying for a creepy/surreal reality TV book. I'm seeing a lot of cute/fun reality show books get picked up, but I want the bizarre, black mirror, reality is melting vibes. This is a case where I don't necessarily need an overt speculative element, because reality is surreal enough.

2. Butches. Butches!! Please. I'm less interested in toxic masculinity on women, so I'm especially looking for expressions of healthy masculinity. (This goes for all characters, but please send me butches.)
