#MSWL Day is here!

I'm seeking more narrative nonfiction for children and adults. Think THE MONA LISA VANISHES (Day) or Candace Fleming's books for kids.

More like THE ART THIEF (Finkel) or NO HUMAN INVOLVED (Neely) for adults. Also seeking nonfiction that really brings setting to life!

You can query me here: QueryTracker.net/query/ninari...

For mystery I like cozy or quirky, think Knives Out. But also dark and with thriller elements. I prefer amateur sleuths and locked door, meaning a smaller closed off set of suspects. Smart stories where the mystery and characters are both fully developed. #MSWL

Happy #MSWL day! I’m an associate agent at Azantian Literary Agency, building my list in YA, queer romance, select nonfiction, and graphic novels for all ages. Query me here!

Re: nonfiction: Speculative nonfiction is a genre I'm newly interested in, and I can't get enough of it.
I like memoir, but I'm specifically looking for "well researched grad thesis pretending to be a memoir" (Better by Arianna Rebolini is my go-to example).

Happy #MSWL day to all who celebrate

#MSWL I’d really love to find a dark romcom like Lights Out by Navessa Allen!

Please send me your upmarket, cozy adult mysteries! #MSWL

#MSWL I want Black culture and music nonfiction with swagger—hip-hop, R&B, jazz, scenes, cities, ambition, icons, criticism, memoir. Give me voice, authority, style, and pages with real heat. Guidelines in reply.

I'm also expressly looking for queer and trans narratives, stories by Palestinian authors, and weird/quirky books (a la Bunny by Mona Awad, Skydaddy by Kate Folk, My Death by Lisa Tuttle, etc) #mswl

Literally made a bluesky to participate in #mswl day - I’d love to find a super hooky, voicey, upmarket mystery!

Okay that is a good start and if I think of anything else I will add it to this thread
One more thing to note is that: trans women are women, and if that statement upsets you it's okay not to query me. #MSWL

I love the "chosen one who just wants to be a normal guy (gender neutral)" trope, and would love to see new takes on it! #mswl

Remember that I only accept queries through my Query Manager. Any email queries will be deleted. #MSWL

I'd like to see quirky horror and more serious horror. Think social commentary rather than slasher. Horror with romance--though everyone is looking for that. Feminist horror. Folk lore horror. #MSWL

Check out my #MSWL here: manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/si..., and submission guidelines here: inkwellmanagement.com/contact/! no ai stuff pls.

One thing to know about me is that I'm NOT into toxic romances. Lots of people love them, and I'm not here to rain on anyone's parade, they just AREN'T the best match for me. #MSWL

I would love a book with a Día de los Muertos connection #MSWL

I'm still searching for a mystery ala CLUE--quirky, funny, with murder. #MSWL

I absolutely would love to see more #LGBTQ + stories in my queries next week. I like vegan characters. I'm not a fan of time travel stories or stories with circus settings. #MSWL

I'll be watching for stories where a group of found family bands together to take down elite oppressors. #MSWL
