#LitAgents, my #MSWL (Adult):
‣ Upmarket contemporary fic: Womxn; mental health; “Late” (30s+) coming-of-age; LGBTQIA+
‣ Grounded speculative fic: “ ” w/ elements of SFF/magical realism; Modern retellings (fairy tales; myths & legends; folklore; classics); CliFi (not preachy);

@bookendslit #mswl thread coming at you. I'd love to see more #ownvoices mystery and historical romance, upmarket / book club fiction, character-driven SF/F and horror, and nonfiction of all types!

Yippee! My #MSWL is now live. Send me all the things on this list: manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/kary…

Yes! Give me fantasy that with a literary bent. Womens fiction with a touch of magic. Let's start crossing genres people. Dont be afraid! #mswl

Western, set in Northern California. Any genre: historical, scifi, fantasy, contemporary, etc. Diversity a must. #MSWL

It had everything I love: an unapologetically ruthless female protag; messy royal family drama; non-Eurocentric inspired mythology. But because I wasn’t an agent at the time, I couldn’t offer rep. I STILL THINK ABOUT IT TO THIS DAY(2/3)

Ok, so...screw it. This is part #MSWL, part “the Manuscript that got away”. In 2018 someone sent a fantasy ms to one of our associates about a female protag. who was competing against her 4 older brothers to be named her dictator father’s successor (1/3)

Strong epic fantasy with a matriarchal society. Give me GoT without the boys. #MSWL

Will make exception for Oberyn Martell.

Always hunting for fem fantasy. If you grew up on a diet of Robin McKinley, Patricia McKillip, Anne McCaffrey, etc. I want to see your manuscript. #MSWL

Adult fantasy that crosses over to bookclub fiction a la THE SNOWCHILD or NIGHT CIRCUS. #MSWL

#MSWL I'm REALLY eager to find some MG with a funny voice! Fantasy, contemporary, whatever--just make me laugh!!!

SWEEP: THE STORY OF A GIRL AND HER MONSTER was one of my favorite non-Harper books of 2019 and I’d love to see more MG/YA historical fantasy that’s just as compelling, poignant, and imaginative. #mswl

Lush, high-stakes MG/ YA fantasy with series potential featuring unlikely heroes you can’t help but root for and writing that knocks your socks off. #mswl

I'd also love a serious MG fantasy series...something dark, dangerous, and with a large canvas and great world-building. #mswl

Hi new followers! If you're looking for submission info and my #MSWL then look no further! 🌟
