A lot of things have changed for Rising Action over the past few months which is great! But it does cause my reply rate to be slower than usual. Being added to the Simon & Schuster fold for distribution is awesome so apologies for any delays! (2/?)

I am down to 10 submissions and 5 undecided queries so it's time to open back up to #amquerying authors! My full #MSWL is available here manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/alexandria-brown/
Somethings to note (1/?)

#writingcommunity #amquerying

I am drawn toward books with a commercial hook and gorgeous writing, books that say something new and demand a place on the shelf. I’m so excited to read what you send me!

I am so excited to be opening to queries again! I will be open beginning tomorrow, June 3-June 10. #amquerying #writers , my #MSWL remains much the same but this month I am especially on the hunt for #YA and #mg genre fiction from diverse perspectives.

This dynamic is also #MSWL

Every day of Pride, I'm going to a #MSWL that is just a queer thing. Today, I want everyone to know that Hacks should be a romcom and if you wrote that fanfic ...

for a more wordy, overly detailed mswl: jynastiealazai.com/wishlist

#kidlit #mswl

Reminder--I'll be open to queries from June 1st to June 7th! Check out my #MSWL manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/linda-camacho/

Friends, it's been a long time coming, but I can FINALLY announce that my MSWL is live and I'm officially open to queries.

My #mswl also I think celestial academia maybe?

And lastly, for any #AmQuerying #kidlit authors, please send your material directly to me (the link to my page on our agency website is floating around but I will also pin) and tell me twitter sent ya x

A more detailed (read: rambling) mswl can be found here but as I say on it, I love being surprised, if you can send me something I love that I didn't think to ask for I will love you forever manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/deirdre-power/

Middle grade fantasies that are set in our world (so low/lighter on the fantasy side), or stories with a meta layer to them a la lemony snicket, detective fiction, and STEM

Picture books with heart and humour! Anywhere on the scale of funny to gentle, please just send your best three texts.

Also for teen/YA - all your thrillers, murder mysteries, horrors. Please send your heists and spies. Ally Carter is an auto-buy, and my new fave is Ravena Guron.

YA romance/romcoms - if I had to pick just one thing, this is definitely the asylum where they raised me. Some faves: Michelle Quach, Ann Liang, Eva desLauriers, Emma Lord, Huntley Fitzpatrick, Emma Mills, Sophie Gonzales, William Hussey, Stephanie Perkins - you get the idea
