Well, the secret's out. YA has crept into my heart through some of my clients so I am opening queries to the rest of y'all. :)

I'm looking for: YA horror (lite), YA paranormal (ghost stories), and YA thriller. Keep it weird and spooky, my friends. #mswl

Agent Update: If you are an author who has been waiting for me to re-open to queries, I will be reopening to queries on October 31! 🎃👻 Get those queries ready. My updated #mswl is here: manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/susa…

"I love interesting voices/POVs, dual timelines with a historical feel, rhythmic language, and anything that is both an engaging and accessible read, while being thought-provoking and layered at the same time."

I am only considering queries sent via QueryManager: querymanager.com/query/MariaCar… #MSWL

3. A genre-bending thriller (in English only). If you read Kill The Next One by Federico Axat you may understand what I mean by 'genre-bending'. The voice on the page is important. #MSWL

2. Upmarket fiction: expansive family saga, modern-love, heart-wrenching character driven novels. Think Pachinko, Homegoing, Lucky Girl, The Hundred Wells of Salaga. #MSWL

1. Literary fiction in English/Spanish/Catalan. I am usually more interested in female, non-binary writers, also authors who adopt English as their literary language. It can be challenging and experimental; also accessible. Looking for stunning writing. #MSWL

"I want crime fiction like Louise Penny, Sue Grafton and Janet Evanovich."

Waiting patiently for this #cozymystery #womensfiction #romance #upmarketfiction #MSWL

Also interested in spicy monster romance especially if under 75K words. #MSWL

LISTEN, if anybody out there has a queer regency fantasy full of yearning and secrets and also an HEA that's currently sitting in my QM inbox, PLEASE do let me know #MSWL

I would love to find an expansive family saga, upmarket/literary, written in English, but set somewhere that is not the US and not the UK. #MSWL querymanager.com/query/MariaCar…

This is the cutest, coolest thing!!! Wow obsessed. #MSWL when I open again someday 😬

"Send me Gothic fiction with possibly a modern storyline, too (like THE LITTLE STRANGER by Sarah Waters)."

Wait a minute, I think you just did something with this! 🧐 #MSWL

"I am on the hunt for nonfiction in MG. Show me glimpses of history that haven't been taught to younger students before, collections of pieces, anthologies."
