I will be open to unsolicited queries from Sept 15 to Nov 15, my last open submissions period for 2021. Please check out my agent bio and #MSWL, and if you feel your novel is a fit, you can query and submit sample pages to me at: QueryMe.Online/LisaAbellera #amquerying

#MSWL BIPOC-led #MH #DIS and #ND rep and particularly writing that isn't *about* these things but embraces how they affect the way we live our lives. E.g. a romcom lead who also happens to be dealing with PTSD, a thriller lead whose ADHD might inform the way they work...

“Novels about dysfunctional families. Extra bonus points if they’re wealthy (think HBO’s Succession) because, let’s face it, reading about rich people in trouble is fun. Super extra bonus points if there’s an immigrant angle in there.” @ceciliaclyra #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

I finally sat down this weekend to put together my #MSWL: browerliterary.com/submissions/re… I'm excited to see what awaits me in my Queries inbox!

Roll up, roll up - the fabulous @LBAamanda is reopening her submissions inbox! And she's hungry 📚🤩

You can find out more about what she's on the hunt for and how to query her here: lbabooks.com/agents/amanda-…

Oh for a #speculative not-straight Austenesque YA. #MSWL bring me my dreams!

Reminder that I LOVE working on cookbooks and lifestyle projects but I'm pretty anti-diet and want projects that celebrate health and (all) bodies. #mswl

Grumpy Roy Kent is my favorite romantic hero energy #MSWL

Often times parents have to move for work or family dynamics change in a way that requires them to be uprooted from familiar places. So I think it’d be great to see more coming-of-age MG stories about transient children, especially ones with diaspora backgrounds. #MSWL

I am in the ultimate cozy reading mood with this beautiful 65 degree morning. #amquerying authors, please send me all the adult rom-coms, upmarket/book club, women's fiction! #mswl

And of course, I'm always looking for diversity and inclusivity in stories.

#MSWL - I need a gripping, chilling YA mystery. A laugh out loud MG. And some striking voices!

And I’d LOVE a great upmarket adult mystery or romantic suspense!
