As many things as are on my #MSWL I am always open to something I wasn't expecting that blows me away. The one caveat is it HAS to meet these guidelines: cityowlpress.com/queries/#mysti… If it doesn't and I love it, we will both be sad. If it DOES? Query me here: QueryManager.com/LisaGreenQueri…

“YA non-fiction: Memoir, essay collections, you name it. Queer There & Everywhere is probably my favorite YA non-fic title in recent memory, and a great example of what I’d like to see.” @ericsmithrocks #MSWL ericsmithrocks.com/mswl

If any of these things fit the bill, check out the submission guidelines @fluxbooks and @jollyfishpress and mention my name in your submission! I’m so excited to find my new favorite book! (6/6)

- YA historical featuring a lesser known historical period or experience
- YA sci fi that blends genres to share human stories through a fresh lens
- Narratives told in unique formats, such as nonlinear, epistolary, etc. (5/6)

- Other diverse experiences, such as neurodiversity, mental illness, physical disabilities, chronic illness, or non-nuclear/“found” families
- Compulsively page-turning YA thriller with deep emotional engagement
- Immersive YA high fantasy that’s dark, twisty, and queer AF (4/6)

- Stories featuring LGBTQIA+ characters! (esp. trans, bisexual, and asexual youth—though not necessarily with a focus on coming out)
- Stories featuring characters from racially or culturally diverse backgrounds (3/6)

I’m on the hunt for well-crafted YA and MG! Here’s some things I like/am looking for:
- “Out of the box”/quirky narratives
- YA contemporary
- Stories with feminist themes (esp an intersectional framework. Bonus points for teen activism!) (2/6)

Thrilled to announce my return as an Acquisition Editor for @fluxbooks and @JollyFishPress! Working with authors to shepherd their books into the world has been one of the great loves of my life, and I'm over the moon to get to work in this capacity once more.

“Pop psychology & fun self help projects, especially from a qualified position (i.e. therapist, psychologist, life coach, etc). I love books that can provide tangible ways to improve yourself, while also being considered a fun read.” @claire_m_harris #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

I would reaaaally love goofy, comedic adult fantasy in my inbox! I was just rewatching The Hobbit and I just love the quirky character dynamics within that epic adventure. Please! Sweep me away while making me laugh at dorks! #mswl

Though I think it goes without saying, within these genres, I'd love to work with writers from underrepresented communities.

On another note, agents & publishing folks, if you're interested in chatting, I'd love to meet more people to talk books and anything/everything else! 🥰

Mystery: I'm interested in millennial cozy mysteries--something quirky, smart, and fun, but also still spooky and sharp. Would love one with a unique setting (out of the usual small town setting). General mysteries are also welcome!

Suspense: To balance out all the ~feels~ I'm looking for something darker, particularly psychological suspense that will make me second-guess e v e r y t h i n g. I'm looking for incisive writing that with an unforgettable twist.

Women's fiction: My interests in wf kind of align with general fiction, but I'd love millennial wf that isn't focused on a woman's romantic relationship, and is more about everything else in their life (some romance ok). If it can make me ugly-cry & snort-laugh, that's a plus :)

General fiction: Stories about unique experiences/people, complex families and history, siblinghood, friendship, self-growth. Looking for works that speak to the peculiarities of the human condition with a unique protagonist. Interested in quiet stories with big impact!

Romance: I'm looking for contemporary romance and rom-coms with a fresh hook and voice, high concept, as well as clear chemistry. I don't currently have a favorite trope, but I always love tension of all sorts and lots of humor :)

Hello! Some happy news✨ I'm fortunate to love what I do, and I'm excited to continue to be a part of authors' journeys and help get amazing books out there! I've been acquiring, but as a refresher, see thread below for my current #MSWL

“A middle-grade Wynonna Earp sff western is for sure on my #MSWL.” @readbystephanie #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

This is always on my #MSWL.

Break my heart open!!!
