I did a little #MSWL refresh. In addition to my forever loves MG and YA, I'm aggressively seeking occult nonfiction and Adult SFF and contemporary romance!

manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/kell…

I would love a historical fiction of the real pirates of the Caribbean, featuring real people mixed with fictional characters that draws from actual events that took place around 1720. Adult, MG, or YA. Dark or light-hearted. #ManuscriptWishList #MSWL

aaah! sooo excited to finally be open to queries again! i'll be open for the 1st week of every month, so that i can be better about timely responses.
new #mswl is in the works, but just know that i want more MG and YA and i'm hungry to sign new clients! bethphelan.com/news/reopening…

I also ONLY rep kidlit, specifically #YA and #MG fiction. That may not have been clear on #MSWL because I got a LOT of adult fiction this time, which is an auto pass. Not to make people annoyed or that I don’t love it but because I specialize to better help my clients right now.

So far what I can say is I got (and usually get) BY FAR mostly YA fantasy, at least 70-80%, so if you have contemporary especially or other genres of #YA I’m eager! #amquerying #MSWL

"If anyone's working on an adult novel that can comp SCREAM *and* something super millennial like THE HERD or A SPECIAL PLACE FOR WOMEN, I want to see it."

Clarifying that I also want it to be Sapphic. Thank you.

#MSWL YA fantasy that isn't "dark". Dare I say fun, maybe funny? Something that feels bright? Still has to have a solid hook and story problem to solve.

Once again made the terrible (amazingly good) mistake of putting on Queenmaker.

Where is the SFF queenmaker MS of my dreams???

Reminder, as we go into the weekend! My query policy changes Monday, #MSWL

"I'd love to see a voicey spin doctor narrative in adult fiction. Think the energy of the The Good Wife's Eli Gold."
