Right now, I'm particularly hungry for adult fiction, so that's what I'll be focusing on in this thread.
Time for an updated #MSWL thread! 🧵
I’m a literary agent at @RootLiterary seeking adult fiction, young adult fiction, and adult nonfiction.

Despite making up 25% of the global population, Muslims only account for 1% of characters on popular tv shows. In most of the 200 shows that researchers analyzed, Muslim characters were typically violent, dehumanized or disparaged — if they existed at all huffpost.com/entry/muslims-…I would also love to see more positive Muslim representation in submissions! #mswl

PB:
funny picture books by queer, BIPOC, marginalized authors that have nothing to do with identity. Give me the next CREEPY UNDERWEAR or DON’T LET THE PIGEON DRIVE THE BUS or PENGUIN PROBLEMS or LLAMA DESTROYS THE UNIVERSE
illustrators and author-illustrators

MG:
funny, heartfelt action-adventure featuring queer, BIPOC, marginalized voices, ideally with some magic or fantastical elements

I opened to queries today! Here's what I'm looking for! #MSWLYA: rom coms with a fresh, very commercial hook featuring queer, BIPOC, marginalized voices
dark, gothic, atmospheric horror
The MUMMY for teens

Literary Agent
Send me adult + #YA literary thrillers and horror. I am a suspense junkie, who loves to be scared, and I can go very, very dark--except please no violence against children or rape. But blood and gore are fine.
As are creepy dolls and bad romance (but maybe not together?).

I would love a laugh-out-loud #MG about a protagonist who learns (the hard way) how to lose with grace and emerges better equipped to face the future--not only to weather losses but to enjoy and appreciate the wins.
Actually, I'd love to find that story in any category

Literary Agent
I am on the hunt for a gripping, page-turning #YA thriller, where the suspects are aplenty, and the story has heft--something that would sit on the shelf next to
@KCjohnsonwrites's THIS IS MY AMERICA.

Many believed that mediums were a connection to the other side. Instead, they were mostly con artists.trib.al/IB6mIpV
#MSWL Economic realities in the late 19th-early 20th century made this a cottage industry for women with few choices. This life offered them independence and respectability. I want more about this in nonfiction and fiction.

I ran across the adventures of Pearl Heart today and would #MSWL any kind of fictionalized riff off her story. Not looking for "her story."
Just find inspiration in her. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pearl_Hart
