ADULT ROMANCE (1/2)

🌹 Low-stakes, realistic contemporary romances

🌈 LGBTQ+ rep! Bi and lesbian women! Trans characters!

🏛️ Historical romances set in unusual settings

🌸 Diverse, funny, and voice-y rom-coms!!!

I’m on a serious hunt for a funny, commercial middle-grade mystery series a la Stuart Gibbs. Sharp characters, a strong voice, and neat plotting, pretty please. #MSWL

On my #MSWL: I like funny and dark at the same time. If you have a HOT PNR or UF with an HEA or HFN that twists a trope, send it. Bonus points if it's 75K or under. QueryManager.com/LisaGreenQueri…

For that matter, I'd love a funny adult book with a protagonist who has the same corny energy and earnest passion as Miss Jenn. #MSWL

Love the Oceans franchise. #mswl a smart, funny heist series.

DIAL A FOR AUNTIES @thewritinghippo is my latest #MSWL obsession! It's the romcom I'd like to rep: dark AND funny; accessible AND intelligent. I also 💜 how it's the story of a dysfunctional family & a trad b-meets-g love story. Please query me if your work is a comp!

I adore Adult Fantasy like THE ROOK and HENCH. Funny, trope twisting, smart, and that shows the mundane side of something fantastic and the fantastic side of something mundane. I’d love to see more of it in my inbox. #mswl

7. Funny contemporary YA—I know I tend toward dark stuff, but I also adore comedy, & I would love some super-voicy YA that makes me laugh out loud. Rom-coms included. Ditto adult for fresh & funny book club/contemporary fiction.

27. UNDEAD GIRL GANG by @ms_lilyanderson

I LOVE this book. It’s funny, it’s witchy, it has teeth—and it’s also about friendship 💜 The vibes are just perfect.

(Ahem #MSWL for anything comped to this book for those reasons)

Finished 6/10

#mswl I’m really wanting to find a great YA where one of the MCs is transgender. If it’s cute or funny or lighthearted, all the better. Although it can also have its serious parts too. #WritingCommnunity #amwriting #amquerying #amediting

#MSWL #A #WomFic: In this genre, I need to you tomake me gasp, cry, or LOL in your opening pages. MAKE me want to turn the page. Make me impatient for your full submission. I love sibling relationships, family secrets, and quirky characters w/funny or serious storylines.

My #MSWL is for funny, warm-hearted MG or an engaging, absorbing MG adventure, partic told from fresh perspectives. In YA, a super-fresh hook & vivid characters, whether with contemp realistic setting or with fantasy/magical elements. #OwnVoices are v. imp to me #WMPitch

#MSWL: Agents, I’d love to find a picture book that is both charming and funny. So many sad submissions in my inbox lately that I’m in need of a good laugh. #PictureBooks

for RRP MG, i want snarky, funny, action-adventure 📚 featuring young BIPOC & deeply rooted in ✨mythology & magic ✨

here too i'd love to see even more intersectional protagonists & stories that subvert the typical RRP formula, like the upcoming SERWA BOATENG! (4/6)

In our second call-out, @ce_seymour is looking for conversation-starting contemporary fiction with something to say about society. Could be funny, outrageous, something darker, or all of these. Please submit as per our agency guidelines: andrewnurnberg.com/submissions/ #MSWL #Fiction

Passing this on to you #amquerying authors--I also would love funny MG! #MSWL

#mglit #writingcommunity

Agents, I love picture books (please keep sending them to me) but I'd love to add some funny, contemporary middle grade to my upcoming lists! #mglit #MSWL
