MIDDLE GRADE #MG
Voice-driven middle grade with a captivating setting and quirky, lovable characters. In this space, I am open to horror, fantasy, magical realism, mystery, sci fi, historical, paranormal, adventure, contemporary, and nonfiction.

While I am not open to queries just yet, I have a #MSWL profile you can check out for a preview on what I'll be looking for in the future! 😉

Hello all! We are thrilled to announce that BOTH noblezobs.bsky.social and susanvcolmant.bsky.social will be opening to queries June 1-Aug 31 2025! See our handy dandy guide for a brief overview on their lists. We look forward to seeing you in the query box! #amquerying #amagenting #mswl

A few things I’d love to see in my query inbox:

1. A dark, gritty pirate story (historical or fantasy)
2. Stories featuring protagonists who have been underestimated by society
3. Stories with an unlikeable female protagonist

After three years of working as an editor, it finally occurred to me to create a #mswl . Romance and Craft authors/agents, my inbox is open!

I have got SUCH A NEED for fantasy with archaeological, paleontological, or anthropological elements at the minute, bonus if it's got a historical/Victorian and academic aesthetic similar to Emily Wilde #mswl

I’m looking for ALL genres of MG and YA, but might be slightly prioritizing….
- MG magical realism
- MG animal fantasy
- YA fantasy/sci-fi (DYSTOPIA)
- YA contemporary
- YA thriller
- historical fiction OR alternate history in both age groups

For #YA , I'm on the hunt for an unforgettable voice. High-concept stories that can be summarized in a single sentence, grounded fantasy, historical fantasy, unique paranormal, and historical with high stakes and universal themes from an underserved viewpoint or unique time in history.

Heading into summer reading, updated #MSWL , on #QueryManager . Would like to see more YA, NA, and Adult science fiction, family saga, and unique retellings. Can have subgenres in historical, horror, magical realism, military, speculative, environmental/climate, & extinction.

Team howlandlit.bsky.social made me a gorgeous new #MSWL brochure. Here’s what I’m looking for when I open back up to queries in May.

Now that it’s PW official! I’m so excited to announce that I’ve joined jenazantian.bsky.social’s wonderful agency as an associate agent 🥰

And yes, I’m open to queries! Please check out my MSWL and submit to me via QueryTracker!

@ecniumata & I are open to queries! Particularly on the hunt for genre-blends (like hist/SFF) & sharp contemp w/ spec elements or inventive mixed-media. Anything comped to Grady Hendrix, Freya Marske, Mona Awad, Victor LaValle, T. Kingfisher, Carissa Orlando & Simone St. James

*historical romantasy but #mswl

Monsters, historical, trans and POC horror, horror romance, space survival. Onto fantasy: give me epic, political, sweeping and expansive. Murder mysteries at court, backstabbing gentry, fantasy of manners…

Jess is craving contemporary historical (1960s-90s) with a voice. Think Demon Copperhead but for another era. Literary-leaning, immersive, and the kind of book people argue about. #MSWL

Well my friend just sent me this so when i say I need a strong hook for anything historical, this is what I mean! #mswl

Happy #MSWL Day to all who celebrate.🥳

Happy #MSWL day, #writingcommunity !

I’m looking for…
- Intricately plotted #A fiction & mainstream #YA (any category).
- High concept suspense #T in unusual settings.
- #WF that hooks readers on characters & their stories.
- #R , sexy or not. Bonus for happy endings! #Hs & contemporary are welcome.

One of my dream #MSWL books is a horror novel set in a cave -- think The Descent for books. Claustrophobic, dark, encroaching madness...bonus points for historical setting, an ambiguous ending, or a queer romance subplot. Antarctica horror would be cool too I guess 💁‍♀️
