just a 12:54pm-on-a-wednesday tweet to scream into the void that i am completely, deeply enamored with the new anna kendrick/hbo max series LOVE LIFE and would like it as a novel yesterday, please and thank you!!! #MSWL

So! In the #MSWL I’ve shared with agents, I include a section for ‘keywords.’ These are descriptive words that spark my interest immediately whenever I see them in fic pitches: dark, psychological, haunting, eerie, chilling, propulsive, disturbing, suspenseful. You get the idea.

Update: I was on a pleasure-reading spree last week, and the novels that held my attention was following a pattern, so I'll elaborate on what I love about #fiction in a few . . . Agents, I hope this will be helpful. #mswl #publishing

Hey agents! I love that I get to edit books across all age groups, but I'd love to see more middle grade in my inbox! Fantasy, contemporary, and everything in between is cool, but I have a soft spot for the laugh-out-loud variety :)
My full #mswl is here: nicolefiorica.wordpress.com/mswl/

Hi I would give ANYTHING to acquire a middle grade novel that’s like the nostalgic, slice-of-life, utterly precious gift that is Only Yesterday. #MSWL

I'm such an easy mark for this trope in a submission. I fall for it every time #mswl

Anyway, all this to say, if you have a book that has the vibe of Folklore—either now or in the future—give it to me. #mswl

Woaaaag #mswl

Also I #MSWL the heck out of these friendships & rivalries! I want more strong bonds, relationships that evolve & friends that make mistakes & learn together.

More characters who'll never stop fighting for their dreams because they know their friends are there to support them.

The narrative of “Last Great American Dynasty” is basically the eternal #1 item on my #MSWL

God I just want an adult #horror novel with an epic queer romance at the center please just give this to me #MSWL

Also to no ones surprise, I'm a big, BIG, B I G Jane Austen fan so if any YA reimagining subs are out there, they're always welcomed in my inbox #mswl

I’m actively acquiring relevant, well-researched psychological, cyber, history (artifacts, theories, etc), and science-based thrillers. Little to no romance. entangledpublishing.submittable.com/submit/ (Send to my attn via Sideways.) #mswl #amwriting #amquerying #thrillers

Do you write historical romance ft. Highlanders or Vikings? I’m actively acquiring! Regency and Victorian are also welcome. entangledpublishing.submittable.com/submit/ (Send to my attn via Amara or Scandalous, depending on word count.) #mswl #amwriting #amquerying #historicalromance
