PB:

-The ocean (I love dolphins & beluga whales!)

-Climate change, recycling, etc.

-The outdoors (e.g. camping/hiking)

-Sharing experiences of kids from nonwhite/non-Western cultures and backgrounds

-Tackling serious topics like grief for young readers

I'm interested in a wide range of fiction & would love to add more nonfiction to my list. I prefer NF to be accessible & conversational (in the vein of Mary Roach for kids), & often like nonfiction lessons packaged in a fun fictional story (like my client @Stef_Wade's books!).

MG: This is the area I'd most like to expand!

YA: My first love! I'm always looking for YA that stands out.
Select adult SFF & horror.
Always open to author-illustrators & graphic novels. Plus @DanieleDHunter & I LOVE novels-in-verse! We tend toward lyrical writing generally.

PB: I'm looking for PB much more sparingly than before, as my list is very full in this area. I'm not looking for rhyming PB.

Chapter books/early readers: Not looking for new authors here, I already have amazing clients writing these!

First and foremost, across all categories & genres, @DanieleDHunter and I are looking to uplift BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, neurodiverse, and disabled/chronically ill experiences (though we would not force an author to publicly share their identity if they aren't comfortable doing so).

quick #mswl update, I am primarily looking for MG (all genres), YA Contemporary, Historical (all ages), and Graphic Novel (all ages/genres). Those are my heaviest focus. BUT, also open to others, so check out my MSWL page!

“Fiction in the motherhood space with ANOTHER big layer (i.e. capitalism, race, health, disability etc)” @carlywatters #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

Y'all I got to talk with @rebroddreads today and she is amazing. Definitely send her your stuff (so then she can sell it to me and we can all work together).

And I want everything in this list #MSWL

Writers! It's your turn this year! APPLY APPLY APPLY! #wndb #mswl #amwriting #amagenting

Also, seems like the perfect time to share my #MSWL at carolinaiortiz.com/manuscript-wis… Looking forward to seeing those submissions come in!

And agent colleagues, if it's been a minute since we've connected or have never had the chance before, I'm always up for a call or zoom coffee 😁

"Sci-fi & fantasy novels. I love them. I read a ton of them. But they have to be accessible. What does that mean? It means that readers who don't traditionally pick up much sci-fi/fantasy, can pick up one of these novels & enjoy it.” @ericsmithrocks #MSWL ericsmithrocks.com/mswl

I would also like this novel ❤️ #MSWL

I wouldn't be sad if someone sent me a story about a modern-day harem, reverse harem, etc. #mswl

Getting dangerously close to reopening to queries! Stay tuned for more details and an updated MSWL! #amquerying #agentlife #mswl

New #mswl: mysteries a lá #ONLYMUDERSINTHEBUILDING. I spent the weekend binging it and am obsessed. I love mismatched strangers coming together to solve a crime, the limited setting of the apartment building, the secretssss, & the comedic approach to crime fiction. GIMMEE MOREE

Hey, everyone! I've gotten a lot of questions about opening to queries, so it seems a lot of you have things you'd like to send my way!

I'm open to queries from now through the end of November. Send me your #F and #SF in #A & #YA. and check my #MSWL at erniechiara.com/mswl.

#MSWL - I think.

"Dark, twisted, borderline disturbing… words I’d use to describe my interest in thrillers. Not looking for gore at the moment, but definitely into psychological elements. Especially fictionalized accounts of actual crimes." @claire_m_harris #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

Yep, open to queries!
On my #MSWL: adult SFF, MG (particularly fantasy), YA (also particularly fantasy, but I love contemporary too), and PB. I'm looking for exciting new projects and dynamic voices. Surprise the heck outta me.

I am opening to queries tomorrow! To celebrate, here is the link to my update #MSWL page. I hope to see all the lovelies. manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/tara…
