hi #amquerying friends! just a quick note to let you know that i'm back open to queries again: querymanager.com/query/QueryHanaCMD

Lastly, I’m not looking for picture books, poetry, or middle grade at the moment! As for nonfiction, I'm currently closed to unsolicited queries.

YA: I love diabolical characters doing diabolical things, for both right and wrong reasons. Villainous found families, tragedies, queer voices, and dark fantasy are top of my list at the moment. If anyone has written a contemporary fantasy marching band book, PLEASE SEND IT TO ME

Adult: SFF & horror! I especially love dark SFF, whether that be epic fantasy or space opera, & I'm interested in horror that intersects with other genres. I'd love to find a horror romance, or a sci-fi horror. Would love a sapphic romantasy & any creepy, queer genre works.

I'm reopening to YA and Adult queries! My updated #MSWL is below; I look forward to reading y'all's work! ✨ querymanager.com/query/laurasouthern

#MSWL . I am closed to queries with the exception of the following:

A YA Trapped-in-Time hook: QueryManager.com/Ali/YATrappediTrappedinTime.

YA Romantasy: QueryManager.com/Ali/YARomantasy

If you submit anything outside these parameters, they will be deleted without response.

devoured six books on my vacation, and really truly loved them all! But reading Evelyn Waugh’s THE LOVED ONE made me crave a modern story set in a cemetery that isn’t horror (or could have horror elements but isn’t primarily meant to be scary). Putting it out there! #MSWL

Send me speculative fiction in translation!!! #MSWL

Totally down for a Bend It Like Beckham that isn't soccer and is actually queer lol #mswl #amagenting

I am excited to announce that I am now a part of the team @FocusedArtists ! With my new role I can expand my #mswl to include children's titles #kidlit is my passion and I am excited to read your stories!

Looking forward to being open again and seeing what hits my inbox. Please always include content warnings in your query letter! Thank you all🫶 #amquerying #MSWL

I’m no longer seeking Adult Thriller and have to be very selective with YA fantasy.

Discovered I am not the best fit for any stories with heavy religious elements, vampires (unless VERY unique), pirates/ships/water settings, and AI or VR characters/plots.

• YA Contemporary: relatable, everyday situations teens go through. Heartfelt, underlying messages or overall just a fun and feel-good read. Romance plot or self-discovery/coming-of-age. Would love to see a strong theater rom-com!

• YA Eco-Fiction: in today’s world or very near future, teens battling climate change or actively searching to save a species from extinction
• YA Thriller: edge of your seat who dunnit mystery, (Cruel Summer x One of Us is Lying)

• Adult Romance: swoonworthy, happy, believable romance. Bonus points if it's second chance and dual timeline/pov (Carley Fortune x Emily Henry)
• Adult Fantasy: either with a heavy romance or it’s a subplot, adventurous and immersive fresh takes on a fantasy world

Well, sitting at the airport so figured I would go ahead and drop that #MSWL before I reopen to queries on Monday! It’s been updated here: manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/andie-smith/

What I am actively searching for when I reopen:

But I will reopen to select YA genres as well. So it will be Adult SFF, Horror, and Mystery (not true crime). YA horror, thriller, and romance. No YA fantasy or science fiction or contemporary.

Happy to take questions for a little bit about my #MSWL . #askagent

I've replied to all queries and requested material. I should have my newest client on submission soon. So it's almost time to reopen to queries.

I'm leaning toward mainly reopening to Adult projects again this time. I have a lot of children's projects right now.

I haven't seen the sun in a month and it's affecting my #MSWL . Please send me more domestic thrillers, YA thrillers, stories about cults, and non-supernatural horror where the monsters are regular people.

Ooo! As a big Jurassic Park fan, I could definitely see loving something like this, writers! 👀🦖🦕 #mswl
