I'm on the lookout for some new voices in music writing - send me your books! #submissions #amwriting #MSWL #nonfiction

Authors, we're looking for WWII era or WWII veteran #memoir for the #Christian market. Authors with a strong platform, send #query. No DMs. See submission guidelines here: rachellegardner.com/submissions #MSWL #Inspybooks #amwriting #amquerying #writers #writerslife

I am still waiting on a poison fantasy, FYI. #mswl

THE HUSBANDS is a great example of the kind of pace-y and SUPER well written commercial fiction I'm looking for! #MSWL

Have you read it? #WritingCommunity

By some miracle, I'm nearly caught up with my queries (not that I'm caught up with my to-read pile!) and I'm really hungry to see some more thriller/suspense/horror in my inbox whether adult or young adult! Also horror/spooky middle grade 👀 #MSWL

"Weird and wonderful tales for YA like Wilder Girls by Rory Power, They Both Die at the End by Adam Silvera, and The Strange and Beautiful Sorrows of Ava Lavender by Leslye Walton" @agentvicente  #MSWL mariavicente.com/representation

"Crime fiction like Dennis Lehane." @CurtisPSLA #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

I❤️the structure of @withloveonprime, which tracks a family for a year on the holidays. There's scope not only for max drama-on NYE/Valentine's-but it's also an interesting way to progress time & story arcs. I'd love to see more subs w/ unusual structures #MSWL #WritingCommunity

I'm excited to announce that I have reopened to queries! I have made significant changes to my #MSWL which you can find here: manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/nina…

#MSWL:
MG Genres I’m looking for: fantasy, contemporary, mystery, historical, horror, light/near-future sci-fi

YA: fantasy, contemporary, mystery, historical, horror, light sci-fi, romcom

Adult: light SFF, upmarket, horror, romcom

#MSWL CONT:
-stories where the bff relationship is front and center. Give me your Shawn-and-Gus, weirdos together forever friendships.
-stories about the arts. I am forever that theater girl.

#MSWL CONT:
-eerie & haunting atmospheric horror where the source of the fear reflects something deeper. No gratuitous violence/gore—I want to be creeped out, not grossed out.
-swoony, sharply funny romcoms w/ chemistry that sizzles

#MSWL CONT:
-stories that play with form & storytelling
-quiet magic/strangeness
-retelling genre mashups (eg. The Girls at the Kingfisher Club, Warm Bodies, Hadestown)
-stories where food plays a major role
-all the feels (take me on an emotional rollercoaster)

Across the board (MG, YA, and adult), I’m drawn to:
-stories with a strong family element, whether that’s biological or found family
-protagonists who aren’t the best at whatever they do or The Chosen One, but who try really *really* hard, even when they screw up

#MSWL

I am finally reading CIRCUS MIRANDUS and it is heartbreaking and wonderful. When I reopen to queries I would love to find a MG this emotional and whimsical. #mswl

I only do MG and YA. My taste leans commercial and escapist and ultimately…fun. Big imaginations. Joy of adventure. Humor. Romance. Big feelings. I’ts okay if we’re not a match. There’s a bazillion agents these days. #MSWL

Sub guidelines are easy. I use Query Manager. You’ll need a query letter and 10 sample pages to paste into the form. I’m not uptight about query format as long as you have in there CONCISELY:
- the pitch
- a plot teaser
- a little bit about you

QueryManager.com/queryelana

I can't say this enough...I would be eternally happy if someone had a submission to send me with a similar voice to that of Louise Rennison's Angus, Thongs and Full-Frontal Snogging. 💄💋🐱

I will not rest until I find this as it's my ultimate #MSWL

I keep meaning to post about my new obsession! Give me horror like Archive 81 where the reveals are big, twisting, and consistent #MSWL
