•Think high concept sci-fi like Dreamfall Chapters (video game), where people are addicted to virtual reality and can't funciton in society.
•Dark fantasy themes with equally dark humor like Sweeney Todd and Dark Shadows. Tim Burton is a vibe.

Show me the world through the character’s eyes and help me experience what they’re going through. I love fantasy woven into #SciFi. Like the beautiful world you’ve built, and then destroyed, I too want to be left with my mind blown, melted into a puddle on the floor or both.

I want adult #SciFi that gut punches you into oblivion. Light on the Sci, heavy on the Fi. Destroy me with a rotini twist of an ending. Give me urgency and a sense of purpose of THE FIFTH SEASON blended with the quirk of THE FIFTH ELEMENT.

#MG
•Feel good adventure stories amongst friends like the Goonies.
•Quests with female protagonists that display bravery and perseverance that’s not in spite of gender.
•Solving age old mysteries that no one thought were real. Bring me prepubescent Indiana Jones.

For #MG, I want whimsy. Regale me with lush world building and:
•Stories that explore magical family history (i.e., the Addams Family, 100 Cupboards, etc.)
•Anything having to do with the sea besides pirates!

Hello #writingcommunity. @jmcgowanbks isnt the last agent to tell you about their #MSWL. I aspire to his level. 1. QueryManager link: QueryManager.com/rpina.
In 2022, I'm focusing on building my #Adultfiction, #YA, & #MG lists with a majority of underrepresented voices.

WRITERS! I'm excited to see what the new year will bring to my inbox. If you write YA/MG/PB/NF, please check out my #MSWL to see if we might be a good fit. (a little Elmo energy because I'm enjoying Elmo/Rocco a little bit too much) bit.ly/smaurermswl

To query, please put "Peter Knapp" + the category/genre in the subject. Put your query + 1st chapter (up to 10 pages) in the body of your email. Send to queries@parkfine.com. To learn more about our list, visit parkfine.com or petejknapp.com. Thank you! #MSWL

Of course, one of our favorite things it to be surprised. So if you've written a middle grade or young adult novel you're excited about, or an adult fantasy or horror, we'd love to hear from you! #MSWL

We're also looking to grow our commercial adult fantasy list in stories with a genre hook, especially expansive fantasy and psychological horror. Thing JADE CITY, CITY OF BRASS, THE ATLAS SIX, MEXICAN GOTHIC, THE ONLY GOOD INDIANS. #MSWL

We love YA contemporary with big emotional hooks, whether they be rom-coms or coming-of-age. Think COUNTING DOWN TO YOU, YOU SHOULD SEE ME IN A CROWN, WE ARE OKAY, GIRL IN PIECES. #MSWL

We're always on the hunt for standout YA fantasy and paranormal/supernatural. Think THESE VIOLENT DELIGHTS, LEGENDBORN, THE GILDED ONES, CEMETERY BOYS, HOUSE OF HOLLOW, etc. #MSWL

We love propulsive mysteries and thrillers -- stories that keep you guessing until the end like THE FIREKEEPER'S DAUGHTER, TRULY DEVIOUS, ACE OF SPADES, THE INHERITANCE GAMES, GOOD GIRL'S GUIDE TO MURDER, etc. #MSWL

We also love high-concept, high-stakes middle grade fantasy like AMARI & THE NIGHT BROTHERS, ARU SHAH, NEVERMOOR, and TRISTAN STRONG. #MSWL

We're always on the lookout for literary middle grade that capture the emotional turmoil of growing up. Think WHEN YOU TRAP A TIGER, WHEN YOU REACH ME, THE THING ABOUT LUCK, THE LINE TENDER, etc. #MSWL

We are so excited to announce that @Sarah_Nicolas is now open to queries. Give them a follow and check out their thread below as they detail their #MSWL

Good luck to all! twitter.com/Sarah_Nicolas/…

At sarahnfisk.com, you can see more info, the link to Query Manager, as well as a link to a Goodreads list of books that are very much to my taste! #MSWL

I love books that challenge societal norms, especially gender norms; great or complicated sibling relationships; small town or midwestern settings; intriguing villains; mysteries woven into other genres #MSWL

I have a personal interest in stories featuring queer characters as well as characters with disability, neurodiversity, chronic illness, or mental health challenges. #MSWL

This is so exciting, y'all. I am officially open to queries!

You can see all my info at sarahnfisk.com but here's a little #MWSL thread

I'm open to all genres in MG and YA, as well as Adult Romance and SFF.
