"I want contemporary romance with a really strong b-plot (think THE ARC by Tory Henwood Hoen)."

ROMANCE!! 💕

it's the one genre I've been looking to add to my list. some fave dynamics include

- the delinquent/A+ student
- black cat/golden retriever
- the one who thinks theyre a monster/the one who loves them anyway

ideally contemporary, but romance-driven sff or mystery is welcome too!

to lovers -- somebody making it out of the friendzone.

Thriller: I would love a psychological thriller! Something that really makes me think and has me on the edge of my seat!

In MG: I would love a funny contemporary story that is relatable to all -- friendship breakups,

More book club/contemporary fiction please! I'm in a book club myself and I'd love to represent the kinds of titles that you're excited to chat about with a group. Examples include: THE LIST by Yomi Adegoke, REMARKABLE BRIGHT CREATURES by Shelly Van Pelt, YELLOWFACE by R.F. Kuang

Your 'weird' or literary-leaning YA books may be for me. I'm interested in younger YA/teen as a category and would especially like to see contemporary, emotional novels (think John Green) and horror for readers aged 13+.

In contemporary YA, I’m a sucker for gorgeous, meticulously crafted prose—think E. Lockhart and Jandy Nelson. #MSWL

I will be opening my #queries July 1-15. Find me here bit.ly/MeaganB
My #MSWL includes:
Adult & YA Fiction in these categories:
Women's fiction
Romantasy
Paranormal & speculative stories that aren't afraid to get weird
Contemporary YA
Novels by LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC authors
Remember #EditEditEdit !

High heat contemporary romance and romantasy! (I’m always looking for low heat romance too, but I tend to see more of that in my inbox.) #MSWL

Small town contemporary/women’s fiction with elements of romance, in the vein of SWEET MAGNOLIAS and VIRGIN RIVER. Deals with big topics in a warm, community-focused setting. #MSWL

Contemporary novels in the upmarket and literary space! I love workplace novels, complicated relationships (platonic, romantic or familial), and second coming of age stories. #MSWL

"I want literary and upmarket fiction about contemporary life, queer characters, mental health, friendship, nostalgia, existential dread—anything with 'cool girl' or 'sad girl' vibes."

My #MSWL is officially live, and I can publicly announce that I've been promoted to Associate Agent at jenniedunhamlit.bsky.social. This is a dream. I'm so excited to begin building my list, and can't wait to hear from you! <3 www.manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/le...

I’ve answered all queries so I’m doing a soft re-open, narrowing down my #MSWL to focus on areas I didn’t receive many queries when I initially opened. I’d 🩷 to see your chapter books, MG: contemporary, MG: nonfiction, MG: novel in verse, YA: contemporary, & YA: novel in verse

UPDATE: I'm currently open to queries for historical romance (yes, that's new!!!), romcom, contemporary romance, dark romance, romantasy, horror, women's fiction, and adult nonfiction. For more deets, go to my #MSWL page:

I'd also like grounded fantasy or magical realism, sci fi, dystopian, paranormal, and select romance. Additionally, I'm seeking contemporary, coming-of-age stories with characters from low-income families and historical fiction featuring historically underrepresented identities.

MIDDLE GRADE #MG
Voice-driven middle grade with a captivating setting and quirky, lovable characters. In this space, I am open to horror, fantasy, magical realism, mystery, sci fi, historical, paranormal, adventure, contemporary, and nonfiction.

CHAPTER BOOKS #CB
Character-driven stories with a strong, commercial hook and series potential. I am looking for fantasy, magical realism, mystery, contemporary, nonfiction, light horror, paranormal, and adventure tales here.

I represent #kidlit of all kinds, but what I’m most interested in receiving in my inbox when we are #opentoqueries on 6/1 is: uplifting contemporary YA, non-fiction for all age groups written in compelling prose, projects from author/illustrators, and novels-in-verse! #MSWL

This might be an exception, but I’d be open to a cozy/or high tension contemporary romance that specifically has themes of nature, eco-centric premise, & lovely prose. Give me women in STEAM; Marine Biologists, conservationists, archeologists, park rangers, etc. #MSWL
