#MSWL

I’m prioritizing BIPOC and queer & trans writers atm! I’m really hunt for
- MG horror & mystery
- YA horror & mystery
- Adult spec fic, gothic horror, horroromance, romantasy
- sister stories
- mother daughter stories
- mermaids
- stories in the PNW, Appalachia, or arctic!
- dual timelines

New #MSWL : I want ROMANCE!!! NA and adult contemporary, romcom, and romantasy! My box is full of thrillers and kid lit, so I'm closed to those for the moment. I still want horror, mysteries, and nonfiction projects! Query me: QueryManager.com/QueryLynnetteNLynnetteNovak. #amquerying #writingcommunity

We are closing to queries at @LCSLiterary on November 15, 2024.
When we re-open I will have a new #MSWL . I will be primarily seeking adult - women's , historical , commercial, book club, upmarket/literary fiction, psychological suspense, thrillers - and YA contemporary Fiction.

TLDR: satirical novels about high society; grounded speculative fiction; sweeping family sagas; upmarket suspense & thriller; voice-driven contemporary fiction; postcolonial fiction; global stories; social & political critiques; stories exploring love, loss, grief, nature of time

🕷 Happy Halloween 🕷

I'm looking for some very *specific* fantasy/speculative/mystery to fill my *adult* list so I thought I'd share a visual #MSWL

If you have anything that fits, I'd love to see it.

Reminder that my query box is OPEN, link in pinned post. #mswl tldr: Hard sci fi with feels, spec fic with disability rep, queer romance. Full mswl at my profile on the CLA site. (pinned post) #amquerying #amagenting

Looking for literary to upmarket fiction and narrative non-fiction that’s ambitious and sticky and can momentarily distract from the world’s horrors but ultimately deepens our relationship with ourselves and fortifies us to engage with and fight for humanity.

As you can see from the above image, there's some changes in my MSWL. My amazing clients have mostly filled my kidlit roster, but I am starving for some adult! Especially thriller, speculative, and sci-fi. If you've got a weird little book, I want to see it! #MSWL (2/6)

I'm not participating in PitDark, because I have some exciting news! I will be opening to queries for the first week in November (1-7) to diverse own voices ONLY. Starting January 2025, I'll open the first week of every month to everyone. #MSWL (1/6)

Now Frankfurt is over, I’m so keen to find new authors to add to my list at
@MMLitAgency . If you’re a writer of literary/upmarket/book club fiction, I’d love to hear from you!

For contemporary stories, I am looking for confident high-concept speculative novels à la Ann Liang. I am very selective in the YA realistic space, and I’m looking for super commercial, funny, and well-plotted.

Speaking of which, a specific ask I have is more speculative heist novels. I am dying to see more books that have the delightful sleight of hand of Leigh Bardugo or Scott Lynch or Margaret Owen. Not assassins. Con artists, doing con artist things!

For adult fiction only (since these genres don't apply to children's): 4. Bookclub/women’s fiction: Voice-driven, high-concept novels across these categories. 5. Romance: Upmarket romance with a great one-line pitch. Happy with spice.

The 40 will comprise of adult fiction, mainly, with the odd non-fiction project thrown in. I'll do a more specific MSWL in the coming days ready for when I open up. I will use Query Manager like before and will keep my semi-personalized rejections system.

idk this is kind of a #mswl vibe … liminal spaces … nineties neon coding … speculative horror … mmm yes
