One last #MSWL : romcoms, heavy on the “com.” I’m especially on the lookout for books starring or written by people who have not often been depicted as the romantic lead.

Excited to see more submissions when my inbox reopens in April!

For clarity, I only represent age categories MG and up. For MG & YA I’m open to all genres fiction and nonfiction. On the adult side I only work on genre-adjacent or genre-lite fiction (no straight contemporary or anything that wades too deeply into the genre space). #MSWL

#MSWL looking for a magical realism romance/romcom like Ashley Poston!

#Horror #MSWL Also, where’s all the holiday horror at? Let’s grow that out there. I really, really want a campy Christmas Hallmark meets Horror. Or a Rom Com Horror. Something like Fresh (2022 film) where it’s all going right until it goes wrong.

#Horror #MSWL Give me horror comedy! Think Sam Raimi, Eli Craig, and Edgar Wright vibes. But I would especially love to see more diverse voices in this space! I love reluctant heroes/ everyday schlubs who are forced to reckon with dark dealings. And a dash of social commentary along the way.

I am particularly on the hunt for horror-comedy, even something a bit campy (Patricia Wants to Cuddle, Bless Your Heart). Same goes for humor in mystery/psychological thrillers (Dial A for Auntie, Finlay Donovan, etc). Would be very open to a mash-up of a funny horror amateur-sleuth too #MSWL

I love hilarious writing, whether it's a fresh rom-com or cozy mystery. Bring on the funny! #MSWL

I enjoy all manner of horror novels: psychological horror, cosmic horror, folk horror, horror-romance, horror-comedy, ghosts, etc. #MSWL

Ok I lied there’s one more! #MSWL

I can’t help but love a big-hearted rom-com that takes me on a rollercoaster of emotions. Emily Henry and Talia Hibbert are all time faves.

I’d love fiction with magical realism, historical fiction, contemporary fantasy, romance/romcoms, epic/high fantasy, LitRPG, mystery, or sci‑fi. Blend them? Great. Fantasy + mystery? Great. Magical realism + historical? Great. Set in Latin America, Africa, Asia, or about diaspora lives? Great #MSWL

#MSWL I’d really love to find a dark romcom like Lights Out by Navessa Allen!

Check out my #MSWL here: manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/si..., and submission guidelines here: inkwellmanagement.com/contact/! no ai stuff pls.

#mswl I still haven't signed a YA rom-com and I'd love to! Send me rom-coms please. I love fun, bantery romance with thoroughly teenage priorities, especially when grounded in queer or multicultural identities.

Hello 2026! As we get closer to the new year—and my query inbox reopening—it’s time for me to update what I’m looking for. I saw a lot of fabulous projects in 2025 (but more on that later), and I’m excited about what I might find in 2026. #mswl

#mswl I adore will-they-won't-they romance, slow burn, established pairings, and more. I'm open to all YA graphic novels including romcom, but for prose I'm strictly open to children's fantasy, spy, and heist, not contemporary romance. It was listed in error on querytracker, now fixed.

What I really want in a manuscript right now

*A literal laugh out loud romcom- I want to have tears streaming down my face!

*A swoon worthy romance- think Serendipity, No One Wants This

#agentlife #MSWL #WritingCommunity

MSWL (4/?)
Suspense/Thriller/Mystery - open to comedy in these but do love gritty; dual timelines; cold cases; spec elements

No cop procedurals or heavy police POVs

Yes to cults; religion welcome if leaning on the cult vibes or paranormal/mythological (think Midnight Mass)

And third, while I'm craving autumn vibes, I would love to see more banter-filled romance for any season, from rom-coms to paranormal! ❤️ As long as it's voicey and full of tension, I'm in!

With only a few months left in the year, I thought it was time to update my #MSWL !

I'm not closing to any genres, but I'm eager to acquire more romance and genre fiction. It's where I've been drawn in my personal reading, and I would love my agent list to reflect those books that have drawn me in!
