I am looking for thrillers and crime fiction of all types; book club and historical fiction that moves me and makes me think (including novels featuring fantasy/mythology/science fiction). In non-fiction, books which open up the conversation and take me on a journey. #mswl

Adult Fiction- writing style preferences vary from literary/more prose driven, to voicey and fast paced. However, I'm not a good fit for contemporary and lean heavily towards speculative, witchy, horror, SFF/F. I'm getting alot of LGBTQIA contemporary romances which I love as a reader, but don't rep.

Hi Booksky! I've repped a fair share of pop culture and memoir, as well as pop science. I'd love to do more pop science from authors who have strong institutional support and/or major media platforms. Also would love to sell something that helps us see Shakespeare or Nabokov in a new light.

Literary novels with a singular, strange speculative element, like THE HUSBANDS.

-I'm still looking for a fantasy or science fiction with a murder mystery plot. Should be more traditional or cozy mystery rather than a dark, crime mystery. Something light and fun with a speculative fiction setting or element.

Just a reminder, while I am open to all speculative fiction, I'm really looking to add more horror/thriller/mystery authors to the list 🕷 #MSWL

instead, i'd love to see speculative YA set in our world, particularly stories that are or play with horror, and fabulist fiction. some books in those spaces that i've enjoyed recently are: DELICIOUS MONSTERS by liselle sambury and HOME IS NOT A COUNTRY by safia elhillo

Someone must've boosted the literary agents starter pack again because my follows are blowing up, so here's my
#MSWL : www.manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/ro...

TL;DR: Send me literary & upmarket adult fiction and narrative nonfiction; closed to kidlit (inc YA) and unlikely to sign SFF right now

Some more random #MSWL wants...

LGBTQIA+ books written by LGBTQIA+ authors, especially in the romance department

Historical fiction with a fun twist from under represented voices of the time

More WF that's actually about women supporting women in healthy ways

Less well known women's sports

Queer and BIPOC romances! Desperate for more representation in my inbox. I'd love:
#MSWL
-contemporary with a speculative twist.

-Romances that feel like Talia Hibbert, Abby Jimenez, Emily Henry. Think delightful banter, big feels

-Monster F**er romances...

On the older side for nonfiction, I'd love nonfiction that was more than just what we currently have. I just read ATTACHED (so good) and I am thinking, wow if only I had read this as a kid. Where is the hip #YA NF that makes it cool to know about marketing, psychology, history of tattoos, etc #MSWL

But I also want narrative nonfiction that isn't just biographies. I want to learn things about the world. Chemistry is cool! Also biology *while cool* can be gross and cool. #MSWL #PB
