A spooky 👻 #MSWL item from @jenissamichelle!

"For MG, I'm looking for more on the spooky side: fast-paced with a main character that's easy to fall in love with & root for, or an antagonist/villian who's own journey can complement the plot"

"Crime fiction like Dennis Lehane." @CurtisPSLA #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

“I love picture books about family traditions/cultural traditions, especially when there is food, cooking, baking, or recipes involved.” @adriamgoetz #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

“Gothic fiction with possibly a modern storyline, too (like THE LITTLE STRANGER by Sarah Waters).” @carlywatters #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

“Literary fiction that genre blends, commercial fiction that takes me somewhere unknown, and rom-coms that make me laugh and swoon.” @ericsmithrocks #MSWL ericsmithrocks.com/mswl

“Psychological thrillers with new twists on classic tropes: unstable (or unhinged) narrators, missing memories or time, seemingly decent people with dark pasts, stalking, gaslighting in any form.” @claire_m_harris #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

“Is your project NF wellness or craft & hobby? I want to see it! Particularly practical, prescriptive titles.” @readbystephanie #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

“I’m on the hunt for a submission on misandry. I’m open to all categories and formats: essay collection, narrative nonfiction, short story collection with misandry as a common theme, memoir manifesto, etc.” @ceciliaclyra #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

Jessica and James sat down with BookEnds's newest agent and subrights manager, @jenissamichelle, to discuss what subrights are, her #MSWL, and life in Brooklyn. Check it out!

“YA historical fiction based on a music subculture (disco, grunge, emo, etc.)” @agentvicente  #MSWL mariavicente.com/representation

✨I would LOVE to see some queer rom-coms in my inbox✨#mswl

A thrilling #MSWL from @BookEndsJessica:

"Domestic suspense featuring anything but a cis-het marriage. Like work, friendship, parent/child. Recently read and loved THE GOLDEN COUPLE, MY SWEET GIRL, THE PUSH."

"Thriller (legal, medical, political, etc.), Mystery (cozy, private eye, police procedural, etc.)" @CurtisPSLA #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

“I would love to see mermaid stories swim into my inbox! Send me all of your mermaids!” @adriamgoetz #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

“Unique cookbook concepts by BIPOC bloggers.” @carlywatters #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

“With memoir, I love a story that feels like I’m reading a collection of essays. @JamesTateHill's BLIND MAN'S BLUFF and @m_scribe's WHAT WE DIDN'T EXPECT, an anthology of essays are two books I worked on that fit in that space.” @ericsmithrocks #MSWL ericsmithrocks.com/mswl

“Psychological thrillers with elements of horror (light on the gore).” @claire_m_harris #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

“If anyone's working on an adult novel that can comp Scream AND something super millennial like The Herd or A Special Place for Women, I want to see it.” @readbystephanie #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

“I am hungry for dark and twisty dysfunctional family stories.” @ceciliaclyra #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

“Authentic contemporary YA like Emergency Contact by Mary H.K. Choi, Don’t Read the Comments by Eric Smith, We Are Okay by Nina LaCour, and The Poet X by Elizabeth Acevedo.” @agentvicente  #MSWL mariavicente.com/representation
