Nonfiction is harder for me to pin down, but I am mostly interested in subjects that relate to humanity and community. Some topics I will be looking for include: spirituality, intuition, natural living, culture, food, and agriculture.

I would love to find something that breaks the expected norms of a trope in a satisfying way, and am happy to look at things that bend or combine genres!

I love contemporary romance, but prefer it to be part of a "bigger picture" story (think THE ARC by Tory Henwood Hoen)

I am drawn to dark stories, especially with weird or whimsical elements (BUNNY by Mona Awad is a fav, as well as GOOD RICH PEOPLE by Eliza Jane Brazier)

In fiction, I am only taking on adult novels. I am also limiting myself to contemporary only—mild speculative elements are okay if they are very grounded, but I'm not taking sci-fi or fantasy (sorry!)

"I'm on the lookout for mystery thrillers that explore a 'true crime' in their fictional world. Who does it impact, and how? What is justice? Think A GOOD GIRL'S GUIDE TO MURDERING, NOTHING CAN HURT YOU, MY FLAWLESS LIFE, and JACKAL."

Would love to see more LGBT+ content in my inbox! #mswl

While I'm going old school, I'd also be interested in something along the lines of Brave New World. I especially like the technological elements of this, like the hatchery. #MSWL

#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)."

Barring some fulls and a couple of partials, I am caught up on queries! With that in mind, I'm widening my wishlist and am now open for MG and YA as usual, as well as, apropos of [REDACTED], adult romance. Think Emily Henry, Talia Hibbert, Ashley Poston! Can't wait to read! #mswl

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
