✨A Black marching band drama
✨A humorous take on puberty for girls
✨Subversive Catholic school stories
✨If something has "already been done” but it's never been done with characters who hail from marginalized backgrounds, I want to read it...

Contemporary💫 Give me your stories that focus on being 1st/2nd gen stories, multigeneration BIPOC family, returning to the homeland, and/or international settings with local protags
Editor
Historical Fiction💫 Desperately looking for projects that have a global and non-Western perspective on history
Romance💫 QBIPOC or BIPOC rom-coms/romances, and I would love to some interracial romances where both characters are BIPOC
Editor
SFF💫 I would love to see futures that star BIPOC casts and fantasy worlds inspired by non-Western folklores and myths
Horror💫 I'm looking for elevated horror that unpacks societal, community, and/or personal traumas, as well as any monster reimaginings from a BIPOC POV

I am more than ready to sink my teeth into some new submissions! And to ring in the new year, I've updated my #mswl with all the many things I'm looking for in middle grade, YA, and graphic novels...

Would still really love to find #sweetromance or #womensfiction with #culinary or #magical elements and or #beach settings. Viola Shipman-ish or Sarah Addison Allen-ish #mswl especially with an African-American protagonist.

When the transplant surgeon first broached the idea of giving the patient a pig's heart to replace his diseased one, the doctor wasn't sure the patient fully understood. Then the patient said, "Will I oink?"nytimes.com/2022/01/10/hea…Sounds like the launching point for a novel. #mswl

I want my own YA or Adult Yellowjackets novel centering queer woman, WHAT THE FUCK, PEOPLE!! Help a girl out 😭 Girls and women are the most frightening creatures in the world and should be actively spearheading their own demises as well as those they love. I WANT TO REP IT #mswl

@bookishchick Hi Kelly, just wondering what kinds of novels you'd like to see, do you handle crime thrillers and fantasy and/or science fiction? All the best for 2022!Hi! My #mswl is linked in my twitter profile and can be found here: manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/kell…
Right now I'm mostly repping Children's fiction, specifically YA and MG, with a few exceptions.

Query Alert: Is anyone working on a piece of beautifully crafted MG fiction — realistic or with a touch of sff or magical realism — about a child whose favorite book is about to be banned from all shelves, private and public? querymanager.com/query/MKanin#MSWL for lit agent @KaninMona!

(Also, rumour has it I’ll be looking for adult fiction later this year…so if you’re working on contemporary literary fiction or upmarket genre, keep me in mind.)
Literary Agent
Genres I'm on the hunt for:
MG fantasy, MG literary contemporary, YA humor, YA fantasy, YA rom-com, Upmarket Women's fiction.
#MSWL - international settings, folktale re-imaginings, funny friendship banter, twisty YA thrillers, multiple POV, found family.
