We are craving some more Literary Fiction & Upmarket! We are looking for stories that explore the subtleties & complexities of language while still being firmly rooted in modern or futuristic living, character- or plot-driven. Does your story match our Wishlist? 🧵 #mswl #writers

“Picture Books: stories with literary sensibilities, nonfiction (not biographies) the Wheel of the Year, cultural traditions/folklore/history.” @msmariavicente #MSWL mariavicente.com/representation

In our fourth #fiction call-out, @ce_seymour is looking for literary and reading group novels about families, friendships or relationships. Could be a brief snapshot or a sweeping intergenerational story. Our submission guidelines: andrewnurnberg.com/submissions/ #MSWL #WritingCommunity

I had so much fun putting my #MSWL together! I'll continue to update my profile with my interests, and when @LGLiterary has re-opened for submissions 📚

Check out her recent projects, her #MSWL, and her #amwriting advice below 😍

“I really love literary fiction that takes you into small worlds and communities where I'm an outsider. A glimpse inside a complex family, or a workplace.”
@ericsmithrocks #MSWL ericsmithrocks.com/mswl

.@LarkWords is again open to queries! I’m retweeting my latest #MSWL tweets because they still apply... looking forward to seeing your words!

In our first call-out, @JennySavill1 would like to see literary ghost stories and speculative fiction, perhaps with a touch of creeping horror. Please submit as per our guidelines: andrewnurnberg.com/submissions/ #MSWL #Fiction #WritingCommunity

Finished Haunting of Bly Manor and would love to see something like this in my query box!

#mswl I am especially on the hunt for adult literary horror, with lots of psychological twisty-ness.

More specifically in MG, i love a great, accessible voice and humor across the spectrum, but also more serious literary stories. MORE specifically:

1. Madcap adventures in any genre

Been meaning to mention that I have an editor #MSWL page a la @ManuscriptWList.

#Writers: this may also be a helpful starting point to see what a #literaryagent is looking for in #submissions.

“Literary fiction with splashes of time travel, secret societies, cults, and the apocalypse? Yes. Please.” @ericsmithrocks #MSWL ericsmithrocks.com/mswl

Send me your manuscripts, I can't wait to read them! 😊 📚📚📚 #mswl

In Middle Grade: Stories that are lyrical and on the more literary range of the spectrum. #MSWL 7/7

Also #amquerying really looking for *grounded* SF&F right now—MG, YA, A.
✨Usually not the right match for high fantasy.
✨Love to be based in myth/folklore/etc.
✨Love to be grounded with a clear emotional arc.
✨My tastes tend quite literary for Adult.

"Romance, Literary, Commercial, Suspense, Young Adult, Middle Grade, and Picture Books." @CurtisPSLA #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

I see so many things comped to Naomi Novik that those comps have kind of lost meaning for me, but nevertheless I love romantic and literary fantasy that draws from folklore, especially if it's interrogating heavier topics, as SPINNING SILVER interrogates antisemitism. #mswl

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

“Literary fiction that genre blends, commercial fiction that takes me somewhere unknown, and rom-coms that make me laugh and swoon.” @ericsmithrocks #MSWL ericsmithrocks.com/mswl

“I am interested in a variety of YA genres: contemporary, magical realism, horror, mystery, thriller, and light fantasy. I enjoy literary prose combined with a strong voice and high concept.” @msmariavicente #MSWL mariavicente.com/representation
