For #MG think of me for spies! heists! and high stakes adventure. I am looking for standout voice, laugh out loud moments, and irresistible characters. I'd love MG fantasy in my inbox, but it needs to feel fresh and new. And I am interested in younger MG with illustrative potential.

I'm going through such a Cozy Fantasy phase right now. Please send me all the Cozy Fantasy. Here are some recent favorites. #MSWL

The Teller of Small Fortunes by Julie Leong
The Spellshop by Sarah Beth Durst
Grave Situation by Louisa Masters
Half a Soul by Olivia Atwater

to expand on this: *greenery* in my fantasy, pls! a fantasy set in a garden or a greenhouse, with carnivorous plants, with academic vibes... 🌱#mswl

Manuscript wishlist #mswl : Conclave in a sci-fi or fantasy setting. With heresy and murders #letshaveaconclave #Iwannahaveaconclave

and if I said I wanted cottagecore, whimsical, cosy-with-some-teeth fantasy.................. what then #mswl

Cozy fantasy in MG #MSWL

Really been craving more nature-centric stories with blends of cozy magic, botany/alchemy, horror, fantasy, & speculative. #MSWL

⚔️ Fantasy (with teeth): Layered and dynamic characters and world-building. I'm a sucker for non-western mythology and themes of rebellion, autonomy, feminism, and gray morality. I'm also dying for my perfect werewolf book (🐺!)

My current #MSWL :
Adult Narrative Nonfiction (NOT memoir), Adult Fiction: Thriller, Suspense, Horror, Romance.
YA Fiction: Thriller, Suspense, Horror, Rom-com,
Boarding school settings, Fantasy.

Maybe it’s because there’s so much doom and gloom in the world right now, but I’d love to see YA in my inbox with more humor. I want more cozy fantasies with light-heartedness, sass, or even snark, not constant death and destruction. #MSWL

Random #MSWL : YA fantasy that features tattoos in some way

Team howlandlit.bsky.social made me a gorgeous new #MSWL brochure. Here’s what I’m looking for when I open back up to queries in May.

After many months (years? decades? centuries??) I am settled in at Neighborhood Literary, and open to queries! I accept queries through QueryManager here:

@ecniumata & I are open to queries! Particularly on the hunt for genre-blends (like hist/SFF) & sharp contemp w/ spec elements or inventive mixed-media. Anything comped to Grady Hendrix, Freya Marske, Mona Awad, Victor LaValle, T. Kingfisher, Carissa Orlando & Simone St. James

Would love to get a manuscript in my inbox reminiscent of Frieren, with that perfect mix of love, loss, and a fantasy adventure quest. #mswl

Niche interest: fantasy military-style schools. #MSWL
