My life was a puzzle that didn’t make sense until I embraced being queer and genderfluid. #mswl more queer books, especially for MG/YA and new adult graphic novels and literary YA/coming-of age like Aristotle & Dante Discover the Sectets of the Universe or Last Night at the Telegraph Club

Update: I'm building my list in New Adult and Adult Fiction, with a focus on Literary and Speculative Fiction. I’m especially interested in representing Latino/Hispanic, LGBTQ+, African-American, and Asian American writers. Please follow the submission guidelines before submitting. #MSWL #queries

**Please make sure to attach the 40,000 words in a Word doc.

3. In adult novels: women’s, literary, historical, and book club fiction. Give me fresh premises, people being badass in real/believable settings, and anything that helps me see real life in a new way.

3/5

#Mswl : literary voice-driven middle grade w/a high-concept hook; speculative/fantasy or slice-of-life but I want to see gorgeous, engaging prose or verse; profound coming-of-age themes; and beautifully drawn characters. If it’s a heavier story, there should be love and hope reverberating throughout

Your 'weird' or literary-leaning YA books may be for me. I'm interested in younger YA/teen as a category and would especially like to see contemporary, emotional novels (think John Green) and horror for readers aged 13+.

Contemporary novels in the upmarket and literary space! I love workplace novels, complicated relationships (platonic, romantic or familial), and second coming of age stories. #MSWL

"I want literary and upmarket fiction about contemporary life, queer characters, mental health, friendship, nostalgia, existential dread—anything with 'cool girl' or 'sad girl' vibes."

My adult #MSWL is similar to my kidlit wants! I’m very interested in non-memoir non fiction (though I’m always open to a good memoir), uplifting literary fiction, and fun genre fiction that pushes boundaries and/or offers something innovative. See previous post about what I DON’T want. Open on 6/1.

"Literary speculative fiction in the vein of THE LIGHT PIRATE and THE AGE OF MIRACLES."

I'm open to new genres and categories! First up: Horror.

I love literary, psychological horror. I've described my taste as "Is the magic a metaphor? Oh no, it's real and she's literally eating her abusive ex." Huge fan of folk horror and speculative explorations of structural marginalization.
