Attention #YA writers! A few things I’d love to see in my inbox:
1) Millennial nuns (I’ll always be waiting for this one)
2) 20th cent. historical set during one of the dictatorships in either Chile or Argentina
And one more that deserves its own tweet....#MSWL #wishlistwednesday

overall: I represent mostly-adult, mostly-fiction across the literary-commercial spectrum from weirdo short stories to "book club" novels to historical fiction to trade romance. I *rarely* read thrillers or hard SFF. You can query me right here: aevitascreative.com/contact/ #MSWL

Summer #MSWL refresh:

YA:
-still looking for great contemporary (or historical) YA thrillers & mysteries!
-would love to find a YA historical set in Asia, Africa, or South America
-smart, upmarket contemporary rom-coms by BIPOC authors

#MSWL Amish Romance, Cozy Mysteries, RomCom, Historical Mysteries and Romances, Suspense, Inspirational Romance, Mysteries, Romantic Suspense, Middle Grade Mysteries, and Graphic Novels for adults and Middle Grade. blueridgeagency.com

#mswl If you have an Adult #histfic about the Schuyler sisters or otherwise connected to the Founding Father’s, I’d love to see it!

At the risk of seeing my inbox explode... #amquerying folks I am not getting enough Adult Romance submissions! Please send all the contemporary and historicals my way (I'm not the best match for Rom Suspense or Paranormal) #mswl

Historical fiction that is not set in the US or Europe. #MSWL

Time periods I like to read about: 1920s-present day. I don’t read a lot of historical fiction older than that. (Madeline Miller is really the only exception.) #MSWL

Again, still looking for my Ruby from Cold Mountain type of gun-toting, foul mouthed, take no ish character in lands that didn’t have laws. Historical? #MSWL

Also really looking for some amazing African mythology and cultural beliefs/customs via contemporary fantasy, historical fantasy, or just plain fantasy. #MSWL Saw one in my box and am saving it to circle back. I’d love more!!!

I’m also still begging for my King Louis XIV sun king historical court intrigue with maybe a little magic? Historical Fantasy? I could go for just historical too if the writing fits! ❤️ #MSWL

Just got through my first batch of manuscripts. Ready for more. #mswl includes history, business, how-to, and self-actualization. Historical fiction also being considered. For Query guidelines go to amysadvice.com

Spoke to an editor this morning and reminded myself how much I want a historical in MG, YA, or Adult about a gun-toting, foul mouthed, self-sufficient woman like Ruby from Cold Mountain. Any country or continent or sexuality or skin color. I’m tired of petticoats. #MSWL

I'm acquiring for Love Inspired, Love Inspired Suspense, Love Inspired Trade, and a limited inspirational historical romance program. I'm particularly interested in adding AOC to my list. My DMs are open for any questions or pitches from Black authors. #mswl
