I spent some time this weekend revamping my Publishers Marketplace page and manuscript wishlist (linked on PM). If you're an author getting ready to query your work, check it out! I'd love to hear from you. #MSWL #amagenting #WritingCommunity bit.ly/melaniefigueroa

“Commerical fiction I loved (from the past year or two): SEVEN DAYS IN JUNE, THIS TIME TOMORROW, and THE GUNCLE.”

Agents: So what’re you looking for these days?

Me:
#mswl

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???

#MSWL

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."

if you have a YA written by a trans woman that comps to ethel cain's preacher's daughter I am begging to see it #MSWL

#mswl LitRPG, please! Why haven't I seen this in my inbox yet?

#MSWL but Amy is already writing it so ... ;)

Loving all the book recs, though more what I'm looking for are projects in the vein of these titles to represent, so please query me with your dark "bad mom" books! #MSWL

I want a novel about the ‘It’ Girls of yesteryear #mswl thecut.com/article/new-yo…

I have been waiting for this, and would LOVE to subs with this vibe in my inbox! #MSWL

Niche #MSWL: a novel that includes day trading as part of the plot!

I used to do a lot of adult nonfiction: celebrity memoirs, how-to books, popular science, pop culture.
I would like to do more of those. #mswl

If I didn’t mention something, that doesn’t mean it isn’t a good fit. Unless it’s a genre I don’t represent, you’re more than welcome to query!

My submission guidelines are here: psliterary.com/submissions/

This is getting long, but all of this (and more) is now on my MSWL page:

manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/rose…

Send me contemporary fiction that gets a little weird, like the virgin birth premise of SMALL PLEASURES, the animal illness of SHARK HEART and the eerie horror of OUR WIVES UNDER THE SEA.

I love mystery thrillers that explore a ‘true’ crime and its repercussions. Think A GOOD GIRL’S GUIDE TO MURDER, MY FLAWLESS LIFE, NOTHING CAN HURT YOU and JACKAL.
