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...

Please feel free to query me with anything on my broader wishlist, within SFF and romance for YA, NA and Adult.

But these are the books that I will be especially excited by right now, based on what I am missing in my list and/or what makes me clap my hands with glee!

I can't wait to dive back in!

AND FINALLY

8) College-based stories (especially romance, but possibly fantasy too)

9) Romances feat. ace, demi, & trans characters. I always like any flavor of queer, but right now those feel the most urgent stories for me to get into the world.

Think of it like the middle finger to JK.

6) 5) Urban Fantasy - our world plus magic or magic creatures (the vampire nextdoor, magical tattoos, alt. history w/ magic)

7) Magic schools, but for the parents and teachers rather than the kids (think The Incadescent or Grimmoire Grammar School Parent Teacher Association)

#mswl

3) Artemis Fowl, but for adults

4) Dungeons & Dragons inspired fantasy that has the adventure and whimsy and puzzles, and most importantly the absolute dumb-fuckery of any good D&D game

5) Stories that read like fanfic (complimentary)

#mswl

1) African and/or Caribbean inspired, anti-colonial fantasy (from someone of that background or ancestry)

2) A REALLY GOOD adventure - think Indiana Jones, Clive Cussler, Pirates of the Caribbean

Bonus points for swashbuckling and impossible escapes, but consistent rules/magic

#mswl

I’m open to queries through the 7th!

I am on the hunt for MG and YA mysteries/thrillers, gothic horror, and intricate, inventive fantasy!

I’m especially looking for stories from BIPOC and queer writers.

Check out my updated wishlist here: www.manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/al...

#mswl

Romance novels with a fantasy element -- give me witches in every day life, I'd also consider vampires and werewolves (as long as the romance is center stage! This is the most important part)

I will be on vacation from June 13-22, and so that makes sense to me as a trial run for this new method. I'll give as many reminders as I can in the meantime, and I will still only be open to Adult & YA, SFF & romance.

Important: Do not submit to me anything that contains generative AI material.

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'm looking for fantasy novels with shorter word counts and immersive worldbuilding. Ex: GODKILLER by Hannah Kaner, EMILY WILDE'S ENCYCLOPAEDIA OF FAERIES by Heather Fawcett.”

Apparently I never Manuscript Wishlisted my love of messy immortals in SFF+horror? #mswl me your characters who live for centuries alongside their friends, enemies, exes and polycules and all of those things at once because across the many years the only constant there has been is each other

"Send me upmarket genre fiction: fantasy, grounded science fiction, magical realism, and horror."
