Agent friends, we did some list review yesterday, and we're looking for a fresh, high-concept MG series. Anything you're loving at the moment?! #mswl
Literary Agent
Writers: our website is still in development but I want new submissions. #mswl 🧵:
High-concept YA - if it includes & addresses untold histories / historically marginalized characters, all the better
YA horror - ALL OF IT
Literary / commercial-literary horror - see above…
Literary Agent
My client list is filling up, so I will be even more selective this time. My #mswl includes:
- high concept board, picture, and chapter books (new concept easily understood in just a few words)
- YA contemporary like Jenny Han and John Green (commercial but bends a bit literary).
Literary Agent
I'm ready to read! Where are my high concept, unputdownable, story driven manuscripts? Do you have a novel I can get lost in? Any genre of adult fiction that fits the bill (sorry no erotica). This #mswl is for the #WritingCommunity #amquerying authors. Send queries my way 📚✍️💛
Literary Agent
As some #amquerying authors have already noticed - I am open for queries!
I accept queries on Query Manager (not here). You can find info about my list and mswl on my website and the kt site.
I look forward to reading your work and to signing new clients this year!

2) Rom-coms with a high concept situation that can be summarized quickly and make people go "ooooh" (think You've Got Mail, The Rehearsals by @MsAnnetteMC , Dream On by Angie Hockman)
Calling all authors 📢 if you're querying high-concept thrillers please send them my way, ESPECIALLY those with a speculative twist or horror element #mswl
I’m open! Check out my #MSWL here: lbabooks.com/agents/amanda-preston and details of how to submit and FAQs here: lbabooks.com/submissions

I updated my #MSWL page for the first time in... a decade? And I'm looking forward to reading some great submissions in 2024.
Agents, among other things, I'd love to find a feel-good underdog sports story to weep over and/or edit. Hit me up! manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/katherine-harrison/

It's that time of yeay! A very basic one-sheet #MSWL for 2024, but as always: I love to be surprised! Next week when I re-open, you can find my queries at Query Tracker!

High concept, commercial adult SFF like BLACK WATER SISTER; EMILY WILDE’S ENCYCLOPEDIA OF FAERIES; THE FINAL STRIFE; FOURTH WING; and LAST TALE OF THE FLOWER BRIDE. #MSWL
Literary Agent
I feel like I am looking for high-concept but executed in an almost literary level way. #MSWL
Literary Agent
New year and a lightly updated #mswl . The gist is I’m always on the lookout for stories that feature joy, that have characters I fall hard for, and settings I can’t let go of.
