Dying for some dark, romantic, magical YA fantasy in my inbox this new year 😈 #mswl

Although my tastes are eclectic, certain things show up in lots of the books I work on:

Angry girls and sensitive boys
Unlikely heroes
Mysteries, murders and conspiracies
Authentic representation
Fantasy with an agenda
Opposites attract friendships
Finding your true self

I need some escapism this year, and I found a lot of it in romance, fantasy, and intriguing horror novels in 2022. I’d love to see more of that in my inbox! #MSWL

… deep MG with a strong message; sweeping YA fantasy; women’s fiction with characters I’d kill for; banter-filled contemporary romance; and meaningful and well-written nonfiction for any age. They’ll fill in some gaps on my list! #MSWL

#MSWL for 2023: AKA what I'd like to see in my agent inbox scribblesandwanderlust.com/2022/12/30/msw…

#mswl

Now back open to submissions in a limited capacity.

Sabrina loves to learn and is looking for fresh perspectives; come at me, authors from historically marginalized backgrounds (anything from non-fiction to crazy fantasy).

5) Finally, do keep in mind my #mswl for queries. I really only accept romance & SFF, and so general contemporary fiction is not for me, even if it features the type of characters/relationships that I like.

Thank you all for your amazing queries, and I hope this helps some.

Also if you have anything “inspired” by these stories, I’m also open to historical fiction or historical fantasy

✨I'm now an SFF agent @ladderbirdlit & open to queries! Super excited to join such an amazing team— I look forward to connecting w/editors in Jan !!

While I remain at UPC acquiring nonfic, I always knew I'd get back into the world of SFF someday. 😊 Read on for a #MSWL thread

"I read widely in YA, and enjoy just about every genre in it. I love moving contemporary reads, thrilling sci-fi, and lush fantasy."

I’d really love to see more cozy and warm contemporary fantasy projects, full of whimsy and fun, in my query inbox. It can be adult, YA, or crossover.
I’m a bit burned out on the dark and heavy stuff right now. Basically, looking for a hug in book form. #mswl

I have a manuscript wishlist now 🥰🥰 i'm but a humble EA but send me things and if I love them i'll do what i can! #mswishlist manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/tova…

Still hunting for the perfect Mystic Owl novel. Under 75K, Spicy heat level, and some form of fantasy or sci-fi. #MSWL

I am looking for stories from Black creators and from marginalized communities.

Bring on the MG fantasy, sci-fi, contemporary, and/or coming-of-age stories centered around black characters, experiences, and BLACK JOY!
