Adult: Narrative nonfiction/memoir about food, Southern culture, adventure, extreme sports, journeys, science/medicine, from perspectives we have not seen before/enough of & whose narratives tackle bigger-picture subjects alongside personal narratives.
Literary Agent
Adult & YA: Lush literary fiction with a speculative twist or a healthy dose of fabulism/magic realism.
Literary Agent
MG across the board: Heartwarming & funny contemporary, mysteries, humor, horror, adventure, or some blend of all those. Touches of magic.
Literary Agent
MG horror, too: Spooky stories, stories that are a little bit creepier than you feel like they should be for middle graders. (More HIDE AND SEEKER than DOLL BONES, if that makes sense? It makes sense to me.)
Literary Agent
Adult: Horror of all stripes - psychological, body horror, folk horror, gothic, occult, hauntings, genre blends: horror/mystery, horror/thriller, etc. I gravitate more toward literary & upmarket writing than commercial.
YA: Same as above, basically!

All right, I promised a #MSWL update today, so here it is! My wishlists on my agency page & personal website are still valid, but I'm going to thread the things that are top of mind for me right now:I'll start with horror, because it's what I'm thinking about most these days. I'm looking for horror for all audiences:

Would I be foolish to specifically ask for non-Regency 18th century historical romance in my #mswl?

OK this is a specific one, but I want a book that feels like a Brandi Carlile song. #MSWL

Here's another #MSWL tweet.
From @AgentJessicaA:
"I’d love to find some historical romance to complement my Bridgerton marathon. Something like THE LADY’S GUIDE TO CELESTIAL MECHANICS or THE WISTERIA SOCIETY OF LADY SCOUNDRELS. Bonus points for queer characters."

I’d love to see:
🔹history, politics, current affairs
🔹business and finance
🔹pop culture, pop science, pop psychology
🔹cultural criticism
🔹how-to, lifestyle (health, wellness, relationships)
🔹LGBTQ and feminist issues

Have some real thoughts about historical fiction with BIPOC that grapples with colonialism and imperialism, versus stuff like Bridgerton which paints a fantasy of history that allows BIPOC to be the heroes and heroines we've long seen in regency period dramas...This 🧵. This is what I've been saying to every agent I've spoken to about the historical fiction I want to see in my inbox. #MSWL

Rest assured you will never bore me by talking about your special interest. You’re an astronomer? I have questions. You draw maps of medieval London? I love you. This world is a banquet of knowledge and each of us has brought a dish to the table. Dig in.And thus my deep love for nonfiction. Have a great idea for a book? Let's chat! Query me at QueryManager.com/Stacey3Seas! #mswl

How’s this for an #MSWL premise: YA romcom. Talented queer girl becomes trainee to be around girls and delay marriage by becoming a star. Right before her debut, she meets the love she’s always dreamed of, and has to choose between becoming a star or living her true dream life.
