For the romance genre, some of the keywords that pique my interest in a query are: sapphic, #ownvoices, rom-coms, historical, nerdy, fun, fantastical, rivalry, and academia.

If your query contains one or two (or more) of these words, I'd love to read it!

I'm open to queries again! Which means it's about time for an updated ✨2022 MSWL✨

I am still focusing exclusively on adult genres, with my priority being romance, science-fiction, and horror. #MSWL

Alright now, who's ready to write me the sapphic pastel goth magical academy book of my dreams? #MSWL

This is brilliant and why I would love this story #MSWL

“Pop psychology & fun self-help projects, especially from a qualified position (i.e. therapist, psychologist, life coach, etc). I love books that can provide tangible ways to improve yourself, while also being considered a fun read.” @claire_m_harris #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

Putting out a call for humor like this amazing book I read recently… until 5:30am. 🙃

“Books on writing! Books on stories, storytelling, storyshaping. Books on the power of stories!” @ceciliaclyra #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

I’m on board for these upbeat mysteries like The Thursday Murder Club & The Maid #MSWL

I’m starting to see queries that comp to Encanto and I am HERE for it! #mswl

I've been wanting this for ages too!! Yes! So much yes! #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

Kiki’s whole #mswl is ::chef’s kiss::

I plan to reopen to queries 3/1/22, and will post an updated #MSWL of what I'm hoping to find in the weeks ahead.

Truly, thank you to everyone for their kindness and patience. I know that querying is rough, and I appreciate all the writers who entrust me w/ their work.

Hi #amquerying writers, a lil update: I've been closed to queries for a long time while I focused on client work, but my workload is nearly under control, so I'm starting to think of reopening. Let's tentatively say March 1, & I'll update again soon. TY! #writingcommunity

That's it for now, friends! My updated #MSWL is also available here:

If you think your manuscript might be a good fit, submit to me here: queryme.online/annaliseerrico​!

I look forward to reading all of the fabulous work that comes my way this year!✨

YA! I'm focusing in on upper YA this year that appeals to the crossover/new adult space. I am looking for YA mysteries/thrillers; graphic novels; fantasies (see above); historical; and contemporary! Anything above I'd love to see in an YA-appropriate setting!

Contemporary! Any fiction that features a queer/BIPOC character finding their way in life, especially in that new adult space, is for me! Think "Luster", "Such a Fun Age", or "It's Been A Pleasure, Noni Blake"

Mysteries! I adore mysteries that rework classics like "The Wife Upstairs" or "One by One". Give me all your queer/BIPOC historical mysteries such as "Dead Dead Girls". I want queer/BIPOC Agatha Christie, friends!
