My #MSWL has been updated. It is password protected for agents b/c I was getting unsolicited submissions otherwise (sorry!): manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/naom…
I'm looking forward to seeing new submissions in my inbox in 2022!

SOMETHING I’VE NOTICED — a tiny rant. A lot of PB art portrays grandparents as oh-so-very old. Canes and pure white hair and sit-on-the-porch-and-rock old. 1/4Yes, always looking for healthy grandparents and still kicking great grandparents 💪 #MSWL

Finally, I adore reading retellings of classics and fairytales, and I would love to rep them, too! Bring me your takes on Jane Austen, Hans Christian Andersen, Shakespeare, Edgar Allan Poe, and (need I say it) Wonderland. Anything you can think of! #MSWL

The next HELLO GIRLS remains on the top of my #MSWL, but as I consider endless, emotional, meaningful platonic love and the types of female friendships that are ride or die in the way my own have been—especially as teens, in high school, in YA—let's add BOOKSMART as an example.I cannot and do not have enough stories about tight-knit female friends. I don't care what they're doing or what genre they're in as long as they're together, rejecting all the expectations put on young women, and refusing to be separated. #MSWL

Today's #MSWL is a heist story. Young adult (like SIX OF CROWS) or adult (like MONEY HEIST), or even MG (for which I can't think of an example)—I want to see the mastermind behind the planning, the action, the drama, the romance that blossoms with danger around every turn!Please, somebody, send me a rollicking multi-POV adventure for YA and MG! I want a journey, a heist, a cast of characters who each bring a unique voice and talent to the table! Make it dark, or make it break conventional tropes, but send it my way! #MSWL

Also, bring me the opposite: dark, suspenseful, unsettling, atmospheric (YA) mystery and horror. Make it creepy and intense and full of wonderful characterization, and keep me guessing. I'm talking HOUSE OF HOLLOW, ACE OF SPADES, TRULY DEVIOUS, THE HAUNTING OF HILL HOUSE... #MSWL

Speaking of feels, I deeply want to rep a tropey, meaningful, nuanced, hilarious, and swoony contemporary romance. I don't have a single traditional romcom on my list at the moment, and it's a genre I love! Bring me WELL MET, THE KISS QUOTIENT, CHLOE BROWN, BEACH READ... #MSWL
Literary Agent
Specifically, across genres, I am ready for EMOTIONS. I want to laugh out loud, and ugly cry, and full-on swoon, and feel all sorts of secondhand embarrassment for characters if that's what it takes. Bring me all those feels we've been suppressing since 2020! #MSWL

As we all-too-rapidly approach the date that CMA reopens to queries, I think now is a good time for me to be extremely specific about the vibes and details I'm looking for in manuscripts for 2022! #WritingCommunity #AmQuerying #MSWLFirst, I'm going to focus a lot of my time and attention on submissions from minority voices. That's always a goal of mine, but as I grow as an agent, I'm also growing pickier about the projects I offer on. I'm striving to make sure those projects are diverse across genres. #MSWL
Literary Agent
when I reopen to queries, I'm hoping to see a lot more nonfiction! investigative journalism, cookbooks, self-help, climate/environment, + anything that makes a niche subject accessible to a broad audience

My Christmas wish? A query for the first book in a long hot-as-hell, sexy-as-sin paranormal romance series with complex characters, multiple species, plenty of tension, and laughable moments. #MSWL

I'm looking for arctic, winter, snow, Alaskan horror novels written in the last five years. Other elements include sin-eaters, isolation, monsters, folklore, traditions, rituals, and hope. And if there is a resource I'm unaware of for comps, let me know that, too. Thanks! pic.twitter.com/FR7xWo3GiAI'm closed to queries right now but damn if this doesn't neatly describe my #mswl vibe #amquerying #WritingCommunity
