NEW #MSWL: a magical MG mystery a la THE WOLF OF CAPE FEN by @julianalbrandt. The mystery is deeply personal to the character, the worldbuilding is excellent, and the magic serves the mystery plot. It also doesn't hurt that the writing is gorgeous. I want more like this!

Adult historical fantasy (show me a location or pivotal moment in history I've never seen in SFF)
Contemporary YA (show me how powerful& combustible teenage relationships are)
Middle grade sci fi, contemporary, or fantasy (I'm pretty wide open; nothing is off the table!) #mswl

Hopeful contemporary MG that brims with heart. Think SONG FOR A WHALE. #mswl

Voicey MG fantasy with series potential. Think ARU SHAH or THE KIRANMALA AND THE KINGDOM BEYOND series. #mswl

A MG with Sandlot vibes. I’m missing baseball so hardcore right now. ⚾️ #mswl

This is actually like the top of my #MSWL; I love retellings and would love to see more that include characters from marginalized backgrounds (and that holds true from PB through YA for me) #askDVPit

I too would like this. #MSWL

I don't know about you, but I'm all about the escapist reading right now! Please send any queries that qualify my way, particularly MG adventure stories of all kinds. #MSWL

And a contemporary MG novel like this, featuring a boisterous & loving POC family, is an eternal #MSWL for me.

My #MSWL page is live! Agents, send me your lyrical or funny picture books, your grim and adventurous MG, and all of your dark, whimsical, and emotional YA. Graphic novels are also welcome 📚 bit.ly/MeriamMetouiMS…

And on the exact opposite end of the spectrum, I love my contemporary realistic #MG with tons of heart + humor + hope. ❤️

Would love to see a character-driven sports story, like the Track series!

#mswl

I really REALLY want to see more spooky, dark, creepy #MG in my inbox. Horror! MONSTERS!! Where u at?

#mswl

NGL I'm also consistently a sucker for...

📌Families! Siblings! Multi generational stories!
📌Witches + magic
📌Baking (bonus points: make it flirty)
📌Speculative twist? I'm there.

#mswl #MG #YA

I'm always looking for:

✨A big hook + a super strong voice + gorgeous writing
✨Unique, immersive, fully realized settings
✨Genre blending/defying stories. Give me the weird, the ambitious, the unforgettable.

“Graphic Novels: contemporary young adult and middle grade, graphic memoirs, graphic nonfiction.” @msmariavicente #MSWL mariavicente.com/representation

I think I'd also love a MG GN where it focuses on divorce/grief and how kids cope or lean on one another/pets/neighbors/hobbies to find a way forward. Bittersweet but meaningful #querytip #amagenting

Lastly, until I think of more, definitely send me MG STEM-infused plots and POC characters and boys who are allowed to feel/girls who are smart and capable and sassy. Truly looking for tons of GN in the MG sphere #amagenting #querytip

This can all be for MG, YA, and Adult btw.

I'd love a spec fic with modern witches (small spells, hanging herbs, cats and comfy seats to read the grimoire). Think Sabrina bet less superpower and more everyday crystals, brews, etc. #querytip #amagenting
