#mswl - Here are some things I'm longing for in my inbox!

While I'm open to all MG and YA fantasy I'm especially craving second-world, epic fantasy adventures. Lately I've been devouring the Alanna books by Tamora Pierce. Send me stories with unusual crafting trades and competent protagonists.

Hey #amquerying writers and illustrators, I'm open to queries for children's graphic novels and children's fantasy, spy, and heist novels! You can find my #mswl here: jdlit.com/tori-sharp

"For YA fantasy, I would love a propulsive retelling that is distinct and fiery with something important to say. Think FOR SHE IS WRATH by Emily Varga."
Marina Green #MSWL

"I am seeking romantic fantasy, especially in the vein of Juliet Marillier, Prime’s MY LADY JANE, and EMPIRE OF SAND by Tasha Suri."
Marina Green #MSWL

I’m dipping into #questpit , but if I miss your pitch and you think we’d be a good fit, query me! I’m looking for horror, fantasy, and romance in YA, NA, and adult. Marginalized creators are my top priority.

"Send me books about surfing! Romance, fantasy, non-fiction—I’d love to see them all!"
Marina Green #MSWL

"I'm interested in inventive second world fantasies inspired by non-Western cultures or folklore."

"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.”

In addition, I'm looking for adult genre fiction, ranging from romance, mystery/thriller, and selectively sci-fi and fantasy. #Agents send me the things that blur genre too. #mswl

"I would love fantasies with unique magic systems, strong characters, and stories inspired by myth or folklore, particularly outside the Western canon."

Second, I'm in dire need of more SFF across age groups. Please send me your ✨️ magical ✨️ manuscripts!

With only a few months left in the year, I thought it was time to update my #MSWL !

I'm not closing to any genres, but I'm eager to acquire more romance and genre fiction. It's where I've been drawn in my personal reading, and I would love my agent list to reflect those books that have drawn me in!

"I'm always interested in epic fantasy with big worldbuilding, high stakes, and characters to get invested in."

"I am seeking atmospheric, voice-driven fantasies with expansive world building and slow-burn (but angsty!) romance."
Marina Green #MSWL

I'm on the hunt for an exciting anti-colonialist YA or adult fantasy. Something along the lines of Skin of the Sea, So Let Them Burn, or Babel. #mswl

Would love to come across a fantasy with a sense of cozy whimsy with some high character stakes/action/adventure as seen in the game SILKSONG in my inbox 🤍 #MSWL
