Morgan Is Revising✨ @morganismagic
Y'all like grumpy/sunshine and valid, fair, great taste...But I'm realizing I love Trickster/Serious pairing. One that teases and flirts, and rarely says what they mean - the other earnest and noble and always follows the rules? *chef's kiss*
This, but esp. when a heroine is a Trickster. #MSWL

“notice how “girls mature faster” is never stated as a reason why girls should be given more positions of power and authority? It only works to hold girls to greater accountability than boys and to justify men’s attraction to themI know I'm super late to this party but I can't stop thinking about this tweet and how I'd love to see a MG novel that tackles the idea. #MSWL

that's all I can think of for now! I hope this helps the
#amquerying crowd and that I'll see some great queries Feb 1!
Literary Agent
in fiction and nonfiction, I particularly want to see more BIPOC, disabled, LGBT+ authors (though please don't feel pressured to disclose anything you're not comfortable with)
more indigenous/non-Western culture, mythology, and tropes
Literary Agent
more loves: affairs (not about romance), extremely harsh settings, apocalypses, characters labeled as "crazy" who turn out to be right, sabotage, order quickly devolving into chaos, thelma & louise themes
Literary Agent
I do love: fables, gallows humor, absurdism, unsettling atmospheres, unreliable narrators, sympathetic villains, anti-heroes, adventures, revenge-plots, twists that make the reader say "it all makes sense now!"
Literary Agent
I'm not the right agent for these kinds of novels: reproductive horror or dystopia, high fantasy, multi-generational family sagas, drama surrounding music or singing
Literary Agent
adult books only!
I'm NOT looking for PB, MG, YA, NA or kid lit in any form. I'm also NOT looking for romance or poetry or historical fiction.
(no, your book will not be the one that convinces me to rep [category I don't rep], and I won't/can't respond to those queries, sorry.)

novels with contemporary settings need to contain at least one of the following elements: mystery, suspense, thriller, horror, or any kind of speculative something

when I reopen to queries, I'm hoping to see a lot more nonfiction! investigative journalism, cookbooks, self-help, climate/environment, + anything that makes a niche subject accessible to a broad audience#MSWL
I really, really want to see more nonfiction!

Okay, I'm still working on responding to submissions from 2021, but I'm on track to reopen to queries on February 1! A reminder of and some updates to my #MSWL ⬇️
Literary Agent
Getting my first of what I'm hoping will be many neurodivergent projects out on submission this week.
Reminder! Joyful, celebratory neurodivergent stories, both fiction + non-fiction, are priorities on my #MSWL.
And please, if you have questions, don't be afraid to DM me.
