Re-opened to queries today and will post a more in-depth #MSWL soon but I'm especially on the hunt for contemporary YA. If you can comp Katie Henry, Ben Phillipe, Nicole B. Tyndall, Becky Wallace, David Yoon or Jeff Zentner, to name a few, send them my way!

I’m most actively looking for MG and YA graphic novels by BIPOC creators. I’d love to see contemporary projects or stories with a touch of magic. Would also love to see more nonfiction GNs. #mswl

In young adult:

-Romance! Rom com all the way through "the universe must have put us together" love.

- voice-driven contemporary set against a big, pivotal point in the MC's life

-psychological horror that has something bigger to say about who we are as a society #MSWL 5/7

Agents, my #MSWL page is now live! Please check it out to see what we’re looking for @JoyRevBooks !

#MSWL but make it contemporary YA 💖

“I am interested in a variety of YA genres: contemporary, magical realism, horror, mystery, thriller, and light fantasy. I enjoy literary prose combined with a strong voice and high concept.” @msmariavicente #MSWL mariavicente.com/representation

⟡ Contemporary fantasy or magical realism like BIPOC ADDIE LARUE or THE MIDNIGHT LIBRARY.

⟡ Anything that comps SPACE SWEEPERS, THE UMBRELLA ACADEMY, Maniac (Netflix), or Warrior (HBO Max).

#MSWL #A #F #SF #MR

#MSWL “Clean” (for lack of a better term) contemporary YA romance with all the yummy feels.

Looking for contemporary realism #YA that would comp to Promising Young Woman — though a touch of magic wouldn’t hurt. Feminist dark YA comedies, please! #MSWL

Things I need more of in my query box:

MG Contemporary

Adult/YA Rom-Com

POC Historical

LBGTQ+ Historical

In general, I want commercial #fiction for MG, YA, and adult: contemporary, mystery, thriller, suspense, horror

"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/

hey agent friends, a lighthearted contemporary realistic or contemp fantasy #YA version of this is definitely on my #MSWL 🥺

I am actively building my list right now. I’m looking for high concept contemporary romances, moving middle grade novels, and thrillers that feel teen #mswl

#amwritingromance #writers #MSWL
Really hungry for some good contemporary romances right now. Romcom, serious, tortured, preferably with a slow burn romance. ♥️

I should be more transparent: I’d kill to see the adult contemporary romance novel version of Schitt’s Creek in my inbox #MSWL

4.2) Historical or contemporary fantasy with a sharp, fresh, feminist twist on old folklore. Looking for my Holly Black or YA Alix Harrow 🙏

3) High-concept YA contemporary or contemporary-with-a-twist, especially if it comes with an irreverent, self-referentially funny voice. Sarcastic or endearingly self-deprecating humor to the front of the line. I love a protagonist who feels like a co-conspirator.

(YA/MG genre continued) Like with contemporary, I am especially interested in queer, disabled, and BIPOC protagonists, especially when the books are not issue driven. But above all give me a good, page turning adventure. #mswl
