I hate to do this, but I'm behind in my reading and have so many good things in my inbox that I'm going to close to queries at the close of today in order to catch up. I'll still check out #moodpitch tomorrow. #WritingCommmunity #amagenting #MSWL

Alright, I am finally on the Succession train—better late than never! And now I am itching for a Succession meets The Gilded Age historical…

If you've queried someone else at the Belcastro Agency and they've passed, you are welcome to query me. Please, only one at a time though. If you've queried me in the past but have *significantly* revised the project, you can query me again.
Random elements I'm into:
🍇Magic schools, carnivals, deserted islands
🍇Unreliable narrators
🍇MCs with questionable pasts
🍇Revenge stories
🍇Heists
🍇Ensemble casts
🍇Banter
🍇Angst
In Graphic Novels (young readers, MG, and YA), I'd love to see:
📷 STEM topics for young readers
📷 Tweens saving the world
📷 Queer teens living their best lives
In YA, I'd love to see:
🌞Queer romance
🌞Thrillers with isolated settings
🌞Horror with gothic and atmospheric vibes
🌞Historical that centers on POC stories
🌞Subversive and dark fantasy
In Middle Grade, I'd love to see:
⚽️Fantasy inspired by myths, folklore, or legends
⚽️Historical that centers POC stories
⚽️Contemporary with an environmental bent
⚽️Horror with ghosts, creepy crawlies, and witches
⚽️Growing up in non-traditional settings
⚽️Earth-based sci-fi
In Picture Books, I'd love to see:
🍎Family traditions and how they shape us
🍎Silly and fun wordplay (no rhyming books plz)
🍎Poetic, lyrical books that show emotional resilience 🍎Biographies and nonfiction focusing on people and eras that have been historically overlooked
I love identity-driven stories that reflect the first-hand, lived experiences of the creators. That means YOU. Not your child, not your sibling, not your friend. YOU.

I am open to queries and would love to build my list in 2023.🌟Query: QueryManager.com/HannahVanVels
🌟MSWL: manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/hann…
First and foremost, I'm building an inclusive list with a variety of voices and genres. I'm looking for BIPOC authors, queer authors, neurodivergent authors, disabled authors, and generally, authors from historically excluded backgrounds. #MSWL

"Across the board I love stories that are told in unique formats, whether that be epistolary, e-epistolary, transcripts, a high concept POV, etc. If it’s slightly outside a traditional novel format or voice, send it my way!"

mindy is leaving new york 💀✨ @MarindaOnline
i've said it before, but i'd love to come across more YA with teen characters who aren't planning to go to fancy universities, who are maybe going to attend community college or learn a trade or not even continue school at all. college apps don't consume every kid's life, ya knowThiiiis. College is not the only route kids take after high school. The prevalence can be alienating and honestly limits where we can go with storytelling in contemporary YA #mswl
