Stories where the protagonist builds their own community/family. 🫶🏼

Books that will radicalize teens/kids. 📢

Truly escapist fantasy with a world I become absolutely obsessed with! 🤯

Experimental (but not tooooo gimmicky) storytelling that just works! 👏🏼

#mswl

Me and Beefy girl are waiting to see the vet, so let’s do a #mswl while we wait!

Everything I list will apply to both MG and YA unless I specify… And there is no order to this chaos… #amquerying #writingcommunity

Coincidentally, these topics also represent my #mswl, ha!

Firstly, I know Querytracker says I'm closed but I am open! Just not quite open to absolutely everyone. Please query me (querymanager.com/AllegraMartsch…) if you are:
—A BIPOC spec fic writer
—A marginalized writer w/one of my dream projects (see my website)

2/3

🌿My new query policy is now in effect! Read more about it/my #MSWL here: allegramartschenko.com/agent

With this change, I will be implementing slightly more personalized form responses. Read about my forms and their meanings here: tinyurl.com/formreject

A short 🧵 1/3

I’ve added a new link in my profile that takes you to my #MSWL and info for how to query. I am open to all genres and topics noted below, and I’m especially interested in representing voices and stories in women’s sports across all genres. More info: bio.site/morganstrehlow

Yes! #MSWL

Saw this last night, woke up thinking about it this morning, so:

QueryManager.com/ErinMurphy/YA_…

#MSWL LGBTQ+ non trauma centered YA & Adult fiction. A romcom would be fun, I’m always looking for masculine presenting lesbians. BIPOC stories always a plus.

If you have something that fits this specifically DM me.

This is me begging for a YA dystopian that keeps me up for an entire week the way it did my sophomore year of college when I binged read the Hunger Games #mswl

"I love stories involving parentified children. I also love reading about characters who grow up navigating two opposite worlds (class, culture, etc.)"

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."
