8) Yes, I do graphic novels! In addition to cozy fantasy, looking for MG fantasy/adventure more broadly and for moody, literary-feeling YA coming-of-age stories (the queerer the better).

7) An outrageously, wryly funny historical romp or rom-com.

6) Competitions, tournaments, puzzles, and mysteries! Give me those sweet aha! moments and high stakes.

(I would straight-up sell my soul for a YA in the vein of Song of Achilles or Circe. Just sayin'.)

5) Savvy, inventive retellings, from Baba Yaga to the Thousand and One Nights to Oscar Wilde, and beyond

4.3) Cozy MG fantasy that feels both literary and commercial. Think Studio Ghibli, Halloweentown, a touch of Anne Ursu. (I am also extremely looking for this in graphic novels!)

4.2) Historical or contemporary fantasy with a sharp, fresh, feminist twist on old folklore. Looking for my Holly Black or YA Alix Harrow 🙏

4.1) Commercial MG fantasy/adventure that could launch a 5-book series. I am ready to pick some fights with editor friends at RR Presents and Scholastic! 👀

4) Who's the next big thing in YA or MG fantasy? I want to help them get there, and I want them in my inbox. ❤️ Specifically:

3) High-concept YA contemporary or contemporary-with-a-twist, especially if it comes with an irreverent, self-referentially funny voice. Sarcastic or endearingly self-deprecating humor to the front of the line. I love a protagonist who feels like a co-conspirator.

2) Whoever brings me a queer YA read-alike to Casey McQuiston's Red, White, & Royal Blue and/or One Last Stop will win my heart forever (and more to the point, a lot of money 😇)

1) ROMANTIC AF fantasy (give! me! pining!) (also enemies to lovers, sword lesbians, star-crossed high stakes, we-can't-touch-'cause-we're-cursed, etc; love me a good fantasy-with-kissing tropefest)

Officially wrapped on 2020 submissions! Agents, here's my #mswl for this year.

Before I start: I will always be looking to foreground queer and BIPOC voices, and on the hunt for killer hooks I can't even finish pitching without someone mashing the preorder button.

Let's go!

Reminder! I am only open to agented fiction submissions, unless you are a BIPOC writer. Details in the submission section of my #MSWL. I am open to all adult nonfiction submissions—agented or not.

Hello I’d love to see more books about intersectional environmentalism! #MSWL

#MSWL (but also everyone should just read @PaperAshes’ A DARK AND HOLLOW STAR)

I am SO happy to see more Native representation and celebration!! Agents, I am always looking to amplify Native voices in any genre or age range (with children’s publishing), so just putting that out there ;) #MSWL

Anaiah Press has reopened to queries. Click on the link to see what @MaisanoLaura and I are looking for. #MSWL
