I'd love to see some more #adult projects in my inbox. #speculative, #contemporary, #historical, #romcom--I'm open to almost ANYTHING, but looking for a great hook & great voice. Something that I'll have hard time putting down #mswl #a (still also looking for #MG & #YA)

“Young Adult: historical fiction, LGBTQ+ romance, a story about a boy band, mysteries and thrillers, magical realism with gorgeous prose, a novel-in-verse, experimental story structure.” @msmariavicente #MSWL mariavicente.com/representation

Historical with fabulist elements. Think Alice Hoffman — literary prose, a sharply defined setting, just a hint of magic. #MSWL

#MSWL A queer historical novel about these women!

-locked room mysteries/thrillers with a big cast of characters

- I like historical-set fiction but only if it is a genre I love (horror, rom com, etc) set in a different time period #MSWL 4/7

Agents, my #MSWL page is now live! Please check it out to see what we’re looking for @JoyRevBooks !

⟡ Historical fantasy like JONATHAN STRANGE but from a different culture.

⟡ Anything that comps Claire North.

⟡ Fabulist Urban Spec Fic like China Miéville's PERDITO STREET STATION.

This is what I’m looking for in historical fiction. I’d love a YA along the lines of Pachinko #mswl

POC Historical

LBGTQ+ Historical

What an amazing historical novel idea. #mswl. I love historical fiction based on real people. I know a few BIPOC authors who would rock this idea.

Agent #MSWL Just throwing this out there once again: If you’ve got an Adult #HistFic featuring Eliza Schuyler/Schuyler Sisters, I’d love to see it!

I loved everything about Sylvie's Love on @PrimeVideo: the 50s Harlem setting, the music scene, the love story. It's made me eager to find more historical romance/women's fiction featuring BIPOC characters. #MSWL

7) An outrageously, wryly funny historical romp or rom-com.

4.2) Historical or contemporary fantasy with a sharp, fresh, feminist twist on old folklore. Looking for my Holly Black or YA Alix Harrow 🙏

For nonfiction: self-help, lifestyle, gardening, decor etc. Historical, especially women or little-known events. No memoirs at this time.

Query tip: research. You have the best shot of finding the right agent if you check out their #mswl before querying. Here's mine: adult or YA fiction or non, for fiction specifically rom com, hist, mystery, true crime, spec. Love strong female leads, diverse voices.

Also, I’m forever on the hunt for diverse historical romance set in the Georgian, Regency, and Victorian eras. Hit me up! entangledpublishing.submittable.com/submit/ #mswl #amquerying

I want to acquire a YA regency romance with a diverse cast of characters. Who’s got one? Black historical romance authors are strongly encouraged to query. I’m interested in all angles of that period. #YA #mswl #amwriting

In fiction I’d love to see high concept love stories for both commercial and reading group/literary crossover readers. I’m keen to see historical fiction and gothic horror - think Stacey Halls, Laura Purcell and Bridget Collins.

And who's going to let me bath or @RebeccaPodos for this??? #mswl
