#mswl (applies to all fiction!) and shoutout to @bookculture for my cute “blind date with a book” 😻😙

"Send me Gothic fiction with possibly a modern storyline, too (like MEXICAN GOTHIC and THE LITTLE STRANGER)."

Before I close to queries, does anyone have anything like a modern take on 1984? #MSWL

The wonder @AllegraMartsch has updated their #MSWL, take peek and see if their dreams are a fit for your writing. ladderbird.com/allegra-martsc…

Oop! Just want to clarify something because I realize I may have been unclear: I am looking to represent picture books and graphic novels ONLY. I'm happy to look at queries for authors, illustrators, and author-illustrators, but at this time I'm not looking for prose novels.

🚨OPEN TO QUERIES🚨

Laura Bradford is back open to queries!!! Hop on over to our website for more on her #MSWL and how to submit material: bradfordlit.com/about/laura-br…

I’m not a good fit for stories that feature: Suicide or suicidal idealization, Harm to animals, Sexual assault, Police violence, Picture books that just focus on morals or ‘lessons’
I will not be accepting AI-generated submissions.

Hyper-specific I LOVE: Ensemble Casts; Found family; QPR (queerplatonic relationships); Time travel/multiverse jumping; witch covens as femme solidarity; Non-traditional sports (roller derby, parkour, pro wresting); Tabletop RPGs (and it doesn’t just have to be D&D!)

YA and up: Family dramas that make you LOL or weep, no in between; Cute romances; kids trying to find their people and find themselves on the way; All sorts of spec-fic; all kinds of horror; cyber/solar-punk, with an emphasis on the punk; books that will radicalize kids

MG: Fun, commercial stories; whimsical Ghibli-like adventure; accessible fantasy; spooky, monster-focused horror

PB:
-Books that instill a sense of wonder and curiosity, both about the world around them and about their peers
-Books that respect kids' Big Feelings
-Soon-to-be iconic characters and their adventures
-Nonfiction where the author’s passion jumps off the page, ala Bill Nye

Overall: I am looking to represent authors and illustrators for picture books and graphic novels (from MG through Adult). I am also looking to uplift and highlight BIPOC and other marginalized voices.

#MSWL an adult psychological horror novel that features dark academia or a secret society at a college

Dreaming of a witchy horror comedy YA novel with a killer ensemble... #mswl

#mswl Give me #aapi and #bipoc pirates upending empires and living their best life. Goth pirates are a vibe as well💀🏴‍☠️

"I'm looking for sports romance, especially if it examines athletes/fans and their relationship to sport, like FROM LUKOV WITH LOVE by Mariana Zapata."
