This week, #MeetAPL is excited to feature @firerooster!

Stephany is an experienced agent whose recent projects include @AcharyaShunya's SOVEREIGN SELF, @verigatenun991's DEAD OF WINTER, and @samquinones7's THE LEAST OF US.

👇 Check out what she's looking for below (#MSWL)👇

“Send me all your ghost stories. I'll take adult fiction (scary or fun), a history of haunted places in America, an illustrated book-- you name it, I'm here for it.” @claire_m_harris #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

“I’d love to see middle-grade adventure novels. The next female Indiana Jones or a young Lara Croft.” @readbystephanie #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

"Nonfiction proposals with an intersectional feminist angle immediately catch my attention. A few issues I’d like to see examined: occupational segregation, equal pay, and emotional labor." @ceciliaclyra #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

“YA historical fiction about disco subculture.” @msmariavicente #MSWL mariavicente.com/representation

"Thrillers like WHAT HAVE YOU DONE by Matthew Farrell."  @CurtisPSLA #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

WordLink has been representing #authors for over two decades, but we’re new to Twitter! Thank you #WritingCommunity and #amquerying authors for helping us get established here with follows and retweets. Open to queries. Learn more at wordlink.us. #MSWL #writing

“Fiction in the motherhood space with ANOTHER big layer (i.e. capitalism, race, health, disability etc.)” @carlywatters #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

“Unique, genre-blending romance novels. For example, I wish I had worked on The Plus One by Sarah Archer or any of Roselle Lim’s breathtaking romantic contemporary fantasy novels. Give me an adult rom-com in space, or with magic.” @ericsmithrocks #MSWL ericsmithrocks.com/mswl

Meet @LightnerKayla, one of APL's newest agents!

Kayla's latest book deal, @MindaHoney's ANTHOLOGY OF ASSHOLES, is forthcoming from @LittleABooks in Spring 2023. Check out her #MSWL and her advice for people in the #amwriting and #amquerying community!

"If you’re a journalist with a story to tell, whether you’re exposing unjust systems in America or shining light on an unsolved crime, I want to bring attention to issues and people *not* always in the spotlight." @claire_m_harris #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

“Send me your baking cookbook proposals, especially allergy-sensitive ones. Reinvent the wheel on attention-grabbing cakes and easy-to-make recipes.” @readbystephanie #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

"I’m on the hunt for fiction stories told from the point-of-view of two of more women filled with so-called unsavory emotions: greed, envy, jealousy, shame. And secrets—please give me secrets!" @ceciliaclyra #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

“Middle Grade fantasy based on non-Western folklore.” @msmariavicente #MSWL mariavicente.com/representation

"History, Business, Politics, Current Affairs, Memoir." @CurtisPSLA #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

Random #MSWL request! I'm otherwise not open to queries, but I would love to find a BIPOC author with a MG horse girl story that gives me the vibes of this fabulous girl Madison Jade on the Black Equestrians Insta account: instagram.com/p/CMrw6HrHXTE/…

“Themes I like to see explored (not all at once!): nature, motherhood, identity, travel, myth of meritocracy, feminism, longevity, family, heartbreak, secret histories, individuality, modernism, trust, class, money, race, art, memory.” @carlywatters #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

“Literary fiction with splashes of time travel, secret societies, cults, and the apocalypse? Yes. Please.” @ericsmithrocks #MSWL ericsmithrocks.com/mswl

Non Fiction call out #3: @charlottemerrit would love to see proposals for literary, cultural and political biography; books that reassess famous and interesting lives. Please see our website for submission guidelines: andrewnurnberg.com/submissions/ #MSWL #WritingCommunity #NonFiction

🤩 This week, #MeetAPL starts with the newest addition to the APL team, @foldandgathers!

Selena is the star behind the scenes at @pandelectures. For her #MSWL, she is looking for dark, strange retellings that break genres. 👀 Selena will be open to queries in May!
