Future #MSWL & QM update:
I have less than 40 undecided queries/submissions. I plan to reopen mid-late January to a few genres. This info is not on my website or MSWL page yet— it’s just a head’s up and I hope it’s helpful!
✨ ADULT FICTION✨
• contemporary romance - think Emily Henry but low spice or Melissa Ferguson
• upmarket / book club
• cozy mysteries
✨ NONFICTION✨
- same as what’s on website -
✨ KIDLIT ✨
• PB/MG/YA - classic-style with a literary bent. Secret Garden. Bridge to Terabithia. Winnie-the-Pooh.
• PB - humorous character-driven series
‼️Not looking for SEL or rhyme.‼️

I know I'm closing to queries tomorrow, but authors keep me on your list for a "rowdy family book," preferably middle grade but YA might work too. Think in the spirit of The Best Christmas Pageant Ever or Cheaper by the Dozen. #MSWL

And finally, since I'm not seeing many of these in my inbox, I'd like to put out a call for Indigenous stories, and not limited to the US region. No limits on the topic either - I'm seeking Indigenous stories of any topic for all age groups (MG, YA, adult). #MSWL

Literary Agent
As always, I'm seeking MG in verse and MG that addresses mental health. I'm also open to these things in YA. I tend to favor blank verse. #MSWL

#MSWL klaxon! Alice is particularly keen to see MG fantasy at this time. Think Nevermoor, Strangeworlds, The Marvellers, Nic Blake...

I've updated my #MSWL ! It's gotten a bit smaller (due to my 2024 goals to focus on middle grade books).
Note: I accept unagented submissions until Jan. 14.

Adam is looking for #MG fiction featuring #LGBTQ characters in the vein of SIMON SORT OF SAYS by Erin Bow! He is especially interested in contemporary, horror, light fantasy, and graphic novels. Check out his #MSWL and querying information below:

I think I'd like to see a ya or mg that's actively anti-not-like-other-girls. I don't even know what it would look like but I'm tired of the trope. #mswl

Appropos of nothing, would love more PB and MG submissions (and YA why the hell not) about unions #mswl

As I open up to queries on November 13 until the end of the month, here are some things I’m looking for:
• psychological thrillers
• romcoms, romantasy, enemies to lovers,
• contemporary MG
• horror (psych, haunted houses)

Promotions mean a new #MSWL !!
I'm looking for contemporary and light fantasy MG and YA fiction + the select picture book, with a focus on character-driven marginalized stories that center around joy and hope.🧵
