This is such a random #MSWL , because I'm currently watching a Brown Thrasher enjoy my bird bath outside my office window. But if anyone has a book that deals with bird watchers in any form, let me know! Romance, fantasy, adult, kidlit, I just love birds. 🐦🐦‍⬛

More underrepresented voices and backgrounds. More rare or lesser known settings. More diamonds in the rough. More retellings. Give me deep POV. If you're comps include a binge worthy show, character we love or love to hate, or movie, send my way.

In fiction: speculative, magical realism, horror, romance. In NF: narrative NF, memoir, biography, immigrant stories, cultural commentary, people in history, lesser known professions and crafts (builders, designers, architects), musicians/artists/creators, daredevils, athletes.

#amquerying #writingcommunity I am opening for queries now through end of May. Looking forward to sunshine, hammocks, and summer reads. Wishlist and link below. Feel free to ask questions or clarifications. Typos allowed on both sides :)

#MSWL Spring Break Blitz - Contemporary Relationship Focused Stories dlvr.it/T54QMB

Agent friends, we did some list review yesterday, and we're looking for a fresh, high-concept MG series. Anything you're loving at the moment?! #mswl

This list is not exhaustive, but hopefully helpful & indicative.

Send a cover letter, short synopsis & the first three chapters for my attention to UKBookSubmissions@caa.com.

And thank you for indulging my whims - what a privilege to be a professional treasure-hunter.

Middle grade is tough at the moment, but anything that does any of the above, ideally with hook & humour, I’d love to see. The formally interesting too - Benjamin Zephaniah, Ursula LeGuin or David Almond-esque.

I don’t tend to rep picture books or young fiction.

…returning to nature & to ourselves.

I will always be drawn to international stories and settings - what is unfamiliar (& uncomfortable!) to a Western reader.

I don’t tend to rep high fantasy, but love magic & a speculative hook.

Every kind of love, please.

Themes: always, always work that in some way acknowledges the ecological crisis in which we now & will always exist.

Radical reimaginings of how we might live, in terms of collective care, eradicating borders, tearing down capitalist, colonialist & imperialist structures…

Commercial-literary fiction in general: I’m a Fan, My Sister the Serial Killer, Tender is the Flesh, Paul Takes the Form of Mortal Girl are all good examples.

I’m also looking for something more sweeping, still with voice. I love Iris Murdoch, Toni Morrison, Barbara Kingsolver.

Graphic novels across the market, but see 🧵 for general themes that I’m interested in.

Literary / commercial-literary erotica. Especially if bi / queer.

‘Accessible’, light historical - both commercial-literary & literary, across adult & YA markets. Especially non-Western.

Writers: our website is still in development but I want new submissions. #mswl 🧵:

High-concept YA - if it includes & addresses untold histories / historically marginalized characters, all the better

YA horror - ALL OF IT

Literary / commercial-literary horror - see above…

Quickly popping back on here to say that I'm eager to see more women's sports stories in my query inbox.
Fiction and non-fiction.
Query link is in bio.

#MSWL Spring Break Blitz - 1920-1940 Historical Romance and Women's Fiction dlvr.it/T51qkj

Every time I remember the Ocean's 11 prequel with Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling set at a 60s Grand Prix, I think about how much I want a book like that (with or without the heist of it all) #mswl

I am open once again for #pb submissions! On my #MSWL are stories with a blend of humor and heart, stories with unusual main characters, and SEL stories that feel authentic. #WritingCommunity #kidlit #authorcommunity
