I will also add there is a tendency when looking at YA fantasy to over-simplify with "This fairy tale/classic re-telling is overdone" but when you look at it, it's all white/western retellings. I am 100% open to retellings from new perspectives. #MSWL #AskECLA

Yes same!! And survival + horror! I am dying for something that meshes those in interesting ways like #WilderGirls or #Yellowjackets circa 1996. More for #YAlit. #askECLA #MSWL

I will forever want more survival stories-- Hatchet was one of my faves growing up, I loved THE RAFT, OBLIVION ROAD, FIVE TOTAL STRANGERS, etc. If they're snowed in, stranded at sea, stuck in a desert, I want to read it. MG & YA. #MSWL #AskECLA

I LOVE anything that plays with formats. Diaries, letters, infographics, etc. YA & MG. #MSWL

As a farm girl I'm also down for ALLLL your 4-H, FFA, cows, chickens, horses, goats, pigs, and beyond. I love that childhood kid + pet combo (in MG especially but would like a more teen/equestrian combo as well for YA!) #MSWL #AskECLA

I would LOVE anything with "found families" or unconventional families, MG or YA. #MSWL #AskECLA #askAgent #Amquerying

I'll start with some things I'd LOVE to see in my query box when I reopen next week: anything in YA you would call creepy, whether horror or thriller. Give me atmosphere and something pacey. #MSWL #AskECLA

I would like a southern romcom/romance about a last minute date or a one night stand that leads to more called RIGHT QUICK #mswl

Another one for #MSWL

Someone write a YA version of Sunday’s At Tiffany’s please!🥺❤️#MSWL

I always promise myself I'm not going to post an #MSWL (Manuscript Wishlist) and then I get a bug to find new clients and, well, the best way to let people know I'm hungry is to tell them. bookendsliterary.com/2022/02/03/an-…

Have I mentioned lately that I'd love some folk horror/cozy horror submissions from marginalized creators, in both YA and Adult?🙏🏽 #mswl

I would be incredibly interested in a nonfiction book examining a purportedly "Western" invention and its actual roots elsewhere (or, a compendium of these!) #MSWL

If you think Succession or the concept of American Royals with a corporate oligarchy twist could be a good comp to your YA, please send it to me!

I know I'm probably asking for a lot here, but I'm hoping someone out there has this🧐

#MSWL

This week we are highlighting literary agent Stefani Rossitto's #MSWL

LOL, finally updated my #MSWL after weeks of going, "Huh, I should do that." Mostly inspired by all the great books I've been reading this year + ones I know of that I'm dying to get my hands on.

LRT tbh #mswl that recess (tv show) vibe - give me THE FOURTH STALL, mafia in the bathroom, lord of the flies on the playground but with glitter type junk ..... i'm here for it

*if romcom I have to laugh

Check out my current authors because each one fits these criteria!
Hope this helps!
#WritingCommunity
#amwriting

*if romance I like banter and not too convenient HEA because life isn't like that
*an author open to edits or suggestions who is willing to work to engage readers
* if scify/fantasy, a world that pulls me in immediately
* all the feels

Opening up to queries soon. Authors ask me what I am looking for. A nonhelpful answer is "I'll know it when I see it." Ultimately looking for:
*adult fiction maaaayyybe some YA
* something new, fresh that I haven't seen before
* if suspense: an "I didn't see that coming" moment
