Help me make my YA list more genderqueer! I’d especially love to see high-concept, layered novels from trans voices (especially intersectional) but am open to folks across the entire genderqueer umbrella. Some of my faves: The Honeys, Hell Followed With Us, Felix Ever After, Cemetery Boys #MSWL 1/3

Continued #MSWL :

Reminder that I’ll be open for the first week of August starting this Saturday! Here’s a bit about what I’m looking for… #MSWL #amquerying

🧵 1/8: Hi authors + illustrators! As a new literary agent at Storm, I’l open to queries soon. I wanted to share my #MSWL .

I’ll be searching broadly in June. Here’s what I’d love to see in my QueryTracker inbox for YA to New Adult.

Full: jackiegarciamorales.my.canva.site/hello/

Specific wishes in Adult Fiction:
High-stakes fantasy where characters face impossible decisions
Boundary-pushing Queer horror, like Andrew Joseph White
Weird girl fiction, like Callie Kazumi and Monika Kim
litRPG, like Matt Dinniman’s DUNGEON CRAWLER CARL
Cottage gore and botanical body horror (think the aesthetic of the movie Gaia)
Thrillers with extremely high-concept hooks, like Marisa Walz’s GOOD INTENTIONS and Caro Clare Burke’s YESTERYEAR
Unhinged female protagonists, like Marisa Kashino’s BEST OFFER WINS

I am drawn to commercial hooks, lyrical writing, and voicy characters who jump off the page and pull you in. I love books that explore underrepresented folk stories and mythologies. Similarly, I am interested in non-Western settings. In fantasy, I adore a unique magic system. I am also a big fan of books about books. Across all genres and age groups, I would love to see projects from BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, disabled, neurodiverse, and chronically ill communities.

Don’t forget, queries are open each Friday all of June. Today, submit your queries for stories about queer joy and queer love! #mswl #literaryagent #queriesopen

Submit at: www.yesandlit.com/query

I'll be opening queries each Friday in June for pride month with a unique theme for each week. Make sure to get your query in on Friday's if you have a story that aligns with the weekly theme and my wishlist.
