10. Nonfiction about overcoming narcissistic/sociopathic abuse and how the criminal justice system is anything but just. The “brotherhood” mentality of law enforcement and how it negatively impacts victims of any kind of abuse, giving permission to the “bad guys” to be bad.

NONFICTION I’d love to see:

9. Above all else, I am hugely drawn to natural childbirth, pregnancy, unassisted birth, and motherhood. Informative and heartwarming as opposed to overcoming losses. Ina May Gaskin is my hero!

8. For example, I would love to see something in the vein of WILDCAT (Netflix series showing how saving animals in the wild jungles of South America positively impacts mental health).

7. I’m very particular about memoirs. It needs to read like fiction. Memoir Plus is huge right now; your personal struggles being affected by a universal external circumstance. A memoir is not a diary of your life; it’s a specific event that greatly impacted your life.

6. Across the board, I’d like stories that normalize blended, single-parent, adoptive, racially and/or culturally diverse, and same-sex families.

5. When it comes to Upper MG, I enjoy adventures with pirates, witches, ghosts, animals that can communicate, an underlying moral lesson learned by the main character, strong friendships, and stories of courage, overcoming obstacles, or shining in the face of adversity.

4. Speculative fiction: like our world, but one or two big differences. This is less of a pull for me, but if you’ve got something unputdownable with a massive hook, send it my way!

3. Romcoms like EVERY SUMMER AFTER. Romance: anything to do with past lives, soulmates, time travel, second-chance romance, etc. Light spice.

2. Fantasy involving ghosts, witches, etc. Vampires are ok but they need to be human-friendly like ADOW. (I *adore* ADOW!). Historical fantasy like ADDIE LARUE. With historical fiction, I prefer pre-20th century.

FICTION: Adult, YA, some Upper MG

1. My main jam is thrillers and sub-genres. Domestic suspense, psychological thrillers, gothic and supernatural thrillers/horror, etc. I love fast-paced thrillers with high tension and high stakes. Ghosts & haunted houses are a huge draw for me.

I’m ✨so close✨ to opening to queries! In the meantime, here’s a (very long) #MSWL thread to help you decide if you’d like to query me. More info can be found on my website at kathleenfoxxagent.com

🚨 Saffron is open to queries once again! She's looking for YA romantasy, fantasy, sci-fi, horror, thriller, murder mystery, and MG graphic novels.

Her #mswl is here: ashliterary.com/#saffronwishlist

A sneak peek at my eventual #MSWL —I’d swoon over a Gilmore Girls inspo with a paranormal or speculative element, anything that could comp my favorite song of all time, “Never Surrender” by Cory Hart or a story set in a coastal boating town. #amquerying #WritingCommunity

"I want novels about dysfunctional families. Extra bonus points if they're wealthy (think HBO's Succession) because, let's face it, reading about rich people in trouble is fun. Super extra bonus points if there's an immigrant angle."

Fourth Wing, and Once Upon a Broken Heart.
💀Horror is something I'm exploring more of right now. The Haunting of Hill House and The Haunting of Bly Manor are the two best comps for me.

😊For YA, I'm looking for JOY and comin of age stories ! Something similar to Heartstopper

I've been seeing some great queries lately! But I've also noticed a few gaps. Here's a brief #MSWL 🧵 for what I'm focusing on right now

✨Romantasy - My forever favourite. I enjoy all the usual themes, but I'm searching for a unique hook. Comps would be One Dark Window, ACOTAR,

"Looking for nonfiction like Joseph McCormack's BRIEF: MAKE A BIGGER IMPACT BY SAYING LESS."
