I’m feeling really great about where I’m at with my QM, so I decided to reopen just for a tiny bit before summer. I’ll post a more detailed #MSWL later today but I’ve reopened to Adult, which I haven’t done for a while, and I’m still extremely interested in MG.

(My website still says closed but I’m driving all day and can’t change it until later. QM genres are open.)

FORMATS:
I just did the deal for books 12 & 13 in my first 12 months as an S&S editor (🎉)—and many of them are picture books! (My first & forever love.)

So this year, I’m especially eager to acquire more MG and YA: novels/verse, graphics, nonfiction.

I really want a MG voice that gives me that early 2000s, *record scratch. Freeze frame* "yup, that's me. You're probably wondering how I got into this situation..." vibe. #MSWL

I am officially open to queries again! 🎉 Looking forward to seeing all of your amazing MG and YA submissions in my inbox 🤗 Check out my MSWL to see what I'm looking for!

Attn: writers seeking agents! My queries are open! Find out more about my updated #MSWL and how to query me here: manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/kristin-ostby/ #amquerying

Thank you and welcome to all the new follows I’ve gotten since posting my new Manuscript Wishlist profile! If you don’t know me yet, I’m a YA and MG agent and former Big 5 editor. Very gay, very liberal, very geeky. Actively growing my list. My query link is in my bio. 😊

Middle Grade: I'm really looking to build my MG list! I'm looking for a little bit of everything--fantasy, retellings, adventure stories, touches of magic, mysteries, spies!

My agent profile is finally up at MSWL! Check me out at:

I'll be opening to queries June 1-30. I'm specifically looking for #MG and #YA written by #LGBTQIA + and/or #BIPOC authors. The only genre that I'm not looking for is fantasy.

"I am always looking for creepy horror stories for middle grade, young adult, or adult readers."

MG: Fun, commercial stories; whimsical Ghibli-like adventure; accessible fantasy; spooky, monster-focused horror

Overall: I am looking to represent authors and illustrators for picture books and graphic novels (from MG through Adult). I am also looking to uplift and highlight BIPOC and other marginalized voices.

"I want stories that celebrate neurodiversity, from authors who are themselves neurodivergent, both in fiction and nonfiction, middle grade, young adult, and adult."

Spent my weekend at an air show and had so much fun! #mswl MG/YA/Adult Romance that features planes, pilots, airports, or an air show!

Hi authors who have just found themselves in need of an agent - I’m happily open to queries (PB thru YA) and would love to hear from you if you think we’d be a fit! #MSWL in bio! #writingcommunity #amquerying

I *loved* HONEY, I SHRUNK THE KIDS and would love to see them reboot it somehow. (Also a great premise for a fun middle-grade novel…. #mswl)

1. MG fiction. Accessible MG across genres, including SFF, horror, adventure and contemporary. Stories with plenty of surprises and a strong message. A voice that really taps in to that 9-12 POV.

Unique hobbies but not too quirky/MPDG. ❄️

Joyful queer MG! 🎉

Fun voicey fantasy! 🎤

Fat BIPOC! 🥰

Stuff that is genre-bending/mash-ups, unexpected but effective! ⚔️

#mswl

Me and Beefy girl are waiting to see the vet, so let’s do a #mswl while we wait!

Everything I list will apply to both MG and YA unless I specify… And there is no order to this chaos… #amquerying #writingcommunity
