I'm open to books set mostly in the real world, but that have speculative elements that help tell stories in interesting ways. I'm also looking for some upmarket fiction and short stories! Similar themes/ideas as in Lit Fic 6/10

Stefanie Rossitto #MSWL I am also looking for a book on menopause: I want it to be timely and hilarious - it can be a rom-com/ romance/ women's fiction

I rep everything from PB through to adult projects, both fiction and NF but see previous note about authors who write mainly PB (list is currently VERY full in that area). I also rep illustrators selectively.

#MSWL /Stefanie Rossitto - women's fiction: a story of how one incident, seemingly insignificant at the time, puts into motion a domino effect which escalates into a series of events that the protagonist can't escape

In all the excitement of the new year I realized that I don’t have my #mswl posted anywhere! If your project fits any of the below, I hope you #amquerying folks will consider me! Query guidelines can be found on the New Leaf website. Keep scrolling for specifics!

honestly? #mswl for a grounded/speculative story featuring an Ellen Ripley-esque character at its heart: a working mother (in this house Alien: Isolation *is* canon, tyvm), full of grit and tenacity, *excellent* at her job, no romantic ties to speak of, a utility-fashion icon,,,

I updated a #MSWL one-sheet for January '23, plus I'll keep tweeting and evolving like the book gremlin I am!
Also, credit to Inkyard Press for the idea of using scales to help capture vibes ::gestures to self::

Recently more interested in stories of people interacting with animals or the natural world and could really enjoy narrative nonfiction or novels that speak to our relationship to the planet #mswl

I’m always curious for more historical fiction and narrative nonfiction from non-white/non-Eurocentric perspectives about events or individuals that deserve to be more widely talked about #mswl

If you are looking to submit your manuscript in 2023, do consider sending it my way! I'm looking for new clients writing literary, upmarket, and bookclub fiction - historical and contemporary - as well as select narrative non-fiction 📚 #MSWishlist #MSWL madeleinemilburn.co.uk/agents/olivia-…

In non-fiction, if you have a strong platform or the credentials to support your writing, I am open to most ideas. A strong narrative voice that will draw me is especially important.

ok last non-fiction #mswl for now: increasingly i am made aware of how deeply capitalism influences and infiltrates our lives, in big and small ways. i would love to keep exploring that and hearing about other ways we could imagine our lives, please!

non-fiction #mswl continued:
-topics within mental health and how the societies we live in affect it 👀

-biographies of women from history, whether ones who were ignored/forgotten or maybe a revised look at a known figure!!! esp written by fellow women!

ok, some non-fiction #mswl!

truth is, i'm a nerd on a futile quest to learn everything, ever, but some topics/areas i often gravitate towards:
-pop culture & what it says about us/the times we're living in

-deep dives into cultural history of <topic/thing>

My women's fiction list is a little full; I'll be focusing on suspense, thrillers, book club historical, and contemporary novels with an edge for the first half of 2023.

i'm also over on #mswl and i've had a great time putting together my profile! please take a look here: manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/hana…

the tl:dr of the above bio? i want fun, exciting commercial & genre fiction and accessible well-researched non-fiction, specifically from marginalized creators!

(you should still read the bio though, please 😅)

Nonfiction (especially self-help or cultural commentary) from qualified sources. I want books that help people discover issues they didn't know about or see a familiar problem in a new way. Fresh perspectives are not only welcomed but encouraged! #MSWL

Upmarket women's fiction that explores issues we tend to minimize or ignore as a society. #MSWL
