Everything listed on our website still applies, but I really want to see contemporary GNs in MG & YA, contemporary novels in MG & YA, & YA & adult thrillers. #MSWL Send to Query Manager before Sept. 1, or query me when I open again. #WritingCommunity #Amquerying @seymouragency

This looks INCREDIBLE! #MSWL
Sajni Patel’s A DROP OF VENOM, pitched as a feminist reimagining of Medusa’s origins, inspired by Indian lore, which follows a young Serpent Queen’s rise to power and the Slayer sent to kill her, questioning what it truly means to be a "monster."

Hi #SFFpit my plan is to pop in and out of the feed today. If I give your pitch a like, I’ll provide instructions in the replies. If I miss your pitch and you think we’d be a match, I’m open to queries. Links to my QM and #mswl in my bio. Shoot your shot. 💜🚀

I’d like the next LAKE HOUSE! #MSWL

"Compelling historical YA like THE WEIGHT OF OUR SKY by Hanna Alkaf." @agentvicente #MSWL

Also this week two of my books were compared to Alyssa Cole's WHEN NO ONE IS WATCHING and of course! I wanted more books just like that. #MSWL

Finished WHEN WOMEN WERE DRAGONS--loved--and this cover copy is everything #MSWL "[Title] exposes a world that wants to keep women small--and examines what happens when they rise en masse and take up the space they deserve" -- more of this please!

Ok I have to #mswl this, we see so many “new quiet kid at the big scary school” stories… I love this.

-LGBTQIA+, BIPOC, and neurodivergent narrators and stories are always welcome!

If your manuscript matches any of these items, I’d love to see your work! Submission guidelines can be found on the @fluxbooks and @JollyFishPress websites. 4/4

-contemporary fantasy in YA or MG
-MG whimsical fantasy a la Hayao Miyazaki/Studio Ghibli
-YA or MG high fantasy with a unique magic system / based on mythologies underrepresented In literature / that subverts the tropes of the genre

#mswl 3/4

-character-driven YA sci-fi, especially if it explores a theme such as our relationship to technology or what it means to be human
-YA sci-fi blended with any other genre—sci-fi horror, sci-fi fantasy (I’d die for a YA Gideon the Ninth!), sci-fi mystery/thriller, etc.

#mswl Would love to receive #tarotcard or #oracle deck and guidebooks from experienced tarot readers with a nice online following. Or guides to using tarot. Open to ALL THEMES. BUT Who's written the Black woman's guide to tarot? Or tarot with a hoodoo theme? Send me all of that.

Next week is September which is practically October which is practically Halloween, so I declare spooky season officially open. Writers, bring me your witches, your murders, your haunted houses, your true crime, your spooky nonfiction. Bring it all. #mswl

You can see my full Manuscript Wishlist here! I won't take anything animal-related off of it since this is by no means a permanent request and I would never say no to a *perfect* animal fit, but it's otherwise accurate 🙂:

I love me some animal books! You may have noticed quite a few in my announcements recently (and will notice more 👀). So excited as I am about them, for now I'm hoping to see some more human-centered submissions to rebalance my list! #MSWL

If the tone is literary, I'd love to see this type of stuff #mswl

I'm really craving something dark and psychologically twisted in my submissions inbox right now... spooky season approacheth. 😈 #MSWL #YA

And for MG contemporary, I'm on the hunt for affecting, voice-y middle grade with a hooky premise, friendship, and emotional depth--coming-of-age books that tow the literary-commercial line like Dan Gemeinhart's and Erin Entrada Kelly's books! #MSWL

Or a dash of speculative in contemporary is great too! For YA fantasy, I love swoony, action-packed stories with fresh magic systems and diverse worldbuilding #MSWL.
