I'm currently most interested in contemporary or deeply researched historical literary/upmarket fiction by BIPOC writers and nonfiction from authors with existing platforms or previous publications (including academics), and I'm closed to kidlit except by referral or request #MSWL

Really hungry for adult/New Adult contemporary romance: sweet, steamy, romcom, poly, why choose, forced proximity, enemies to lovers, slow burn. YA contemporary rom, dark academia, gothic, horror, sf. Adult horror, thriller, psychological. Soft-med fantasy, sf, space opera #MSWL

Adult or YA contemporary romance with a speculative element (think sliding doors, time loops, things like that!) .
#mswl

Literary / commercial-literary horror - see above…

Graphic novels across the market, but see 🧵 for general themes that I’m interested in.

Literary / commercial-literary romance. Especially if bi / pan / queer. I’m looking for both something sweeping & epic, & something more contemporary.

New #MSWL : I want ROMANCE!!! NA and adult contemporary, romcom, and romantasy! My box is full of thrillers and kid lit, so I'm closed to those for the moment. I still want horror, mysteries, and nonfiction projects! Query me: QueryManager.com/QueryLynnetteNLynnetteNovak. #amquerying #writingcommunity

We are closing to queries at @LCSLiterary on November 15, 2024.
When we re-open I will have a new #MSWL . I will be primarily seeking adult - women's , historical , commercial, book club, upmarket/literary fiction, psychological suspense, thrillers - and YA contemporary Fiction.

TLDR: satirical novels about high society; grounded speculative fiction; sweeping family sagas; upmarket suspense & thriller; voice-driven contemporary fiction; postcolonial fiction; global stories; social & political critiques; stories exploring love, loss, grief, nature of time

Something about fall is putting me in a romantic mood. In addition to my usual list, I'm now craving Romance on my #mswl Contemporary, Historical, Thriller, Suspense, Horror--I'd love them in my inbox please! (Please remember I'm not taking Romantasy)(LGBT, POC, disabled is a +)

FYI: I am opening to #submissions tomorrow! I am particularly keen to find more MG and YA, as well as new voices in the romance space (both romantasy and contemporary) for new adult/adult readers. Bio here:

For contemporary stories, I am looking for confident high-concept speculative novels à la Ann Liang. I am very selective in the YA realistic space, and I’m looking for super commercial, funny, and well-plotted.

Ok, agents and authors. It's me! Your friendly, local editor. I'm starting to build my 2026 list. Interested in what I'm looking for? Sure, you are. Here's my #mswl .

Specific #MSWL :

I’d love a snappy, highly commercial YA series with a sticky hook and a memorable/endearing main character; probably contemporary (any subgenre), comparable to what GALLAGHER GIRLS was but with an unrelated premise.

#MSWL My current Wishlist:

📍Contemporary novels centred around a courtroom drama/legal setting
📍Stories about female friendships, especially millennials
📍High concept crime, historical, bookclub, and grounded fantasy
