A good reminder about how I will be reading the difference between New Adult and Young Adult.

A good reminder about how I will be reading the difference between New Adult and Young Adult.

Next up, I am opening to New Adult for the first time. I am looking less for spicy sexy times, and more for that new adult story. So comps for me would be BEGIN AGAIN, YELLOWJACKETS, SADIE, SEX LIVES OF COLLEGE GIRLS, THE MAGICIANS.

I tend not to get super specific on my PB MSWLs since I love to be surprised but what I am looking for is the "heart of gold" in the story. Your book can be weird, sweet, funny, lyrical, commercial, whatever, but I want heart.

First up, I am looking for picture books with heart. If your books comps with GRANDPA GRUMPS, NOT QUITE NARWHAL, SKULLS, or any of these, I want to see.

I'm open for Smart Book Club Fiction, Upmarket Women’s Fiction for one week only. I’m looking for: propulsive storylines, rich characters, complex relationships, can have humor and romance (not straight RomComs). Submit here: QueryManager.com/ErinNiumata #MSWL

"...subjects that have had sales gains include robots and dragons..."

You know what to do. #MSWL

And I lowkey would love to find a queer story collection a la Bryan Washington or Anthony Veasna So! #MSWL

Or just anything speculative generally. Books than can feel of our world but with a twist! #MSWL

Romance! Happy to consider any and all queer and BIPOC stories, would especially love a cozy fantasy with romance, a horror romance, something speculative/five minutes in the future.

Anything that can be comped to Talia Hibbert, Helen Hoang, Emily Henry, etc. #MSWL

An isolated thriller! I eat them up like popcorn!

I'd also love to see a thriller following a queer friend group or found family! Recently enjoyed First Lie Wins.
#MSWL

All things horror. Give me your slashers, body horror, horror as a vehicle for exploring trauma, psychological horror, horror in film and tv.

Think horror in the vein of Malice House, Manhunt, The Shining, or Maeve Fly. I want it all! #MSWL

Queer characters across all genres. I'd love to see more trans femme stories, especially with joy and/or being the center of some adventure or solving a mystery/crime/murder! #mswl

Hi, Agents! Annual reminder that in addition to all things young readers, I'm also acquiring in the adult space! Some things that I'm on the hunt for: #MSWL 🧵

Book club is reading A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder right now and again I am SO hungry for a YA thriller/murder mystery pleaseeeee!!! #MSWL

#MSWL 🤣

I've got a lot of dark fiction submissions in my inbox right now—which is great, I love dark fiction—but I'd love to see some more happy, lighthearted stories too! #mswl

This, but lesbian, is exactly what I want in a thriller #MSWL
