In upmarket fiction, I’m looking for precise angles:
> Period pieces with women breaking into lively professions (think TV or comedy a la I Love Lucy).
> Women in S.T.E.M
> Anything geeky but accessible
> Gender fluid, masc. of centre, and non-binary protagonists. #MSWL

#MSWL I'm looking for strong YA/adult crossover titles with voice, sense of place, and a unique POV. Keep momentum going. Also, please something with a unique format or story structure that will be appeal to reluctant readers.

#MSWL Feminist historical fiction in adult, YA, MG and PB.

Oooo yes please #mswl

#MSWL - I would love a wilderness story in YA or MG (but especially MG because wilderness stories were so a part of my love of reading at that age).

I am so down for this midwife one.

And the Emily Dickinson one.

Dang, Ellen. Go breaking my heart. #MSWL

I’d absolutely love to get this! #mswl

I may have tackled @LynneKelly the first time I met her because I'm obsessed with her middle grade book SONG FOR A WHALE (Lynne is also just an A+ human so there's that too). If you have a book that feels reminiscent please send it my way! #MSWL

#mswl We use Query Manager, so check our website for the links.

Happy #mswl day! I'd like to see a suspense/thriller with a single pov and a rich atmosphere. Historical suspense in the vein of Ruth Ware. Family, friendship, and enemies attract my attention. Check the rest of my wish list on the Belcastro Agency website.

I’m constantly on the lookout for anything that reads like a Studio Ghibli film in both MG and YA (I love them all—especially Porco Rosso, Princess Mononoke, Kiki’s Delivery Service, and Howl’s Moving Castle). #MSWL

Selling graphic novels for kids/teens is giving me great JOY lately (lots of 'em I haven't even been able to tell y'all about yet, Twitter, b/c Publishing Is Slow). If you're a cartoonist/graphic novelist making deeply true or wildly creative or just plain FUN work, gimme! #MSWL

#MSWL I’m in a cozy mystery mood. If you have one ready please send it my way. @MetamorphLitAg

I love middle grades that highlight the power of human-animal connections. (Think THE ONE & ONLY IVAN or—my own client’s—SONG FOR A WHALE.) Bonus points if readers come away knowing cool animal facts & having a greater sense of our collective humanity! #MSWL

I’m always looking for domestic mystery/thriller/suspense with a determined female protagonist told in a new way. #mswl

But I also look for a “lean forward” plot. Whether a domestic mystery, family saga, upmarket fiction, or light-hearted romcom, send me your novels with that page-turning quality that keep me reading late into the night. #mswl

I am a sucker for a rich setting and for the complex characters who live in them. So give me your Deep South red dirt, your frozen Minnesota winters, or any other visceral setting that makes me feel transported, and make me care about the people who call it home. #mswl

I’m a Nora Ephron devotee. Send me your smart, funny leading ladies finding their way in life and love. Bonus points for a vivid setting. #mswl

I would love to see an immersive 1900s historical novel that takes the reader into the life of a familiar historical figure. Can be commercial, upmarket or literary e.g. The Swans of Fifth Avenue or Euphoria. #mswl

#MSWL: I've spent most of the last 15 yrs of my life in basements, warehouses, old storefronts across the US listening to live music and meeting the best people. I'd love to see that captured authentically in fiction (but pls god don't write it if you didn't live it.)
