Hello! Just a #MSWL reminder as we look ahead to next year: I'm hungry for MG and YA across all categories, and particularly excited to find MG series/SFF/adventure and YA paranormal, contemporary, and thrillers/mysteries...and anything fun & soapy or spine-tingling & spooky!

This is true, I would love to find all of these things! #mswl #submissions

“Young Adult: Contemporary that reads like super fun fanfiction, magical realism novel with gorgeous prose, experimental formats.” @msmariavicente #MSWL mariavicente.com/representation

"If you have a contemporary family drama set in the Midwest (especially in my home state of Wisconsin), please send it my way." @claire_m_harris #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

Contemporary YA featuring immigrants or children of immigrants. Think Nicola Yoon, Ibi Zoboi, Erika L. Sánchez, Mitali Perkins

Right now, the ONLY new submissions I want to receive ARE: Contemporary YA novels, AND YA and MG graphic novels. #MSWL.

“I am interested in a variety of YA genres: contemporary, magical realism, horror, mystery, thriller, and light fantasy—just to name a few!” @msmariavicente #MSWL mariavicente.com/representation

My list is getting a bit YA fantasy heavy. I would love to see more MG fantasy/horror, YA contemporary, and MG and YA graphic novels. #MSWL.

ROM COMS OR CONTEMPORARY ROMANCE. Let’s make it queer, inclusive, diverse. If fans of Talia Hibbert, Helen Hoang, Alexis Daria, or Casey McQuiston would read it—I want it!

SUCH A FUN AGE and QUEENIE are brilliant examples of this!

First up, we’re looking for contemporary novels that have something to say about modern life…

I’m in like full “I need escapism” mode right now (& I’m really privileged to be able to check out sometimes). Desperately need someone to send me a fluffy and lighthearted YA contemp romance. Plot can be anything, as long as it has YEARNING and TENSION🥺 #mswl

#MSWL YA and adult romance: rom coms, rom sads, contemporary, historical, particularly love enemies to lovers and fake dating (agented only)

Oh to get a lighthearted YA contemp romance that is SO FILLED W/ *ROMANTIC SLOW-BURNING TENSION* that it makes ME want to spend the rest of my days in a secluded forest singing to the stars every night of my ~yearning~ until I’m 1 with the trees

Or something like that.

#MSWL

these are a few of my favorite things #MSWL📖 💫

Writers! I am craving adult books. Send me your contemporary romance + romcoms, your suspense and thrillers, your horror + SFF, and your non-fic as long as it has a platform! I’m also very interested in reading genre bending books, so send those too! #mswl

In Adult, my main focus will be historical, contemporary romance, and select fantasy/paranormal. Adult is a harder sell for me, so it HAS to really be unique, new, and with strong voice/conflict

In YA & MG, I really want historical, paranormal, contemporary, fantasy (of all kinds!), and non-graphic horror

Keep in mind, I'm super on the hunt for LGBTQ+, diverse voices, and new settings/events/creatures that aren't mainstream

Only 3 more weeks until I open to queries at @BrittSiessCM on Nov 1st! I'm really looking forward to seeing some fantastic graphic novel queries. I'm particularly on the lookout for standout contemporary stories! #MSWL

#MSWL I would love a YA contemporary following an 18 year old who’s recruited into military service. Something that explores the complex socioeconomic issues pushing teens to enlist
