#MSWL would love a story featuring a septuagenarian or octogenarian group of friends in genres of literary fiction, thriller, women’s fiction, etc but want older protagonists both cute and taking no shit similar to THURSDAY MURDER CLUB

I want a show about polite society in Louisiana similarly to how Bridgerton romanticized London; the whole debutante shebang with all the drama and romance with cute southern belles having men singing the BLUES over them. https://x.com/MELlSSAMICHELLE/status/1793898631931875355/photo/1

Right now I'm very interested in:
- dark academia that emphasizes the academics
- eco/climate fiction
- thrillers that aren't centered on/launched by murder
- #ownvoices folklore from cultures that are underrepresented in the English market

However, I love psychological horror, unreliable narrators, creepy retellings (think Wonderland), supernatural stories, and books with a ton of atmosphere. Comps: THE HONEYS, MEXICAN GOTHIC, Erica Waters, SHE IS A HAUNTING, Simone St. James, SMALL SPACES, etc. #MSWL

Does anyone have recommendations for a cozy fantasy mystery? Also very open to agented YA submissions in that genre!

Really interested in paranormal sci-fi all of a sudden 😂

#MSWL Remember those YA romantic dystopian books from 10-15 years ago? LEGEND, SHATTER ME - I even count HUNGER GAMES here. I'd LOVE to see some new, fresh romantic dystopian!
(No plague-based books or books where the world is dystopian because it's misogynist, though, please.)

For Marisa, her favorite tropes in romance are the ones that make the readers second-guess themselves, starting off with stronger emotions only to find themselves falling in love with the LI, at the same rate the MC does!

I'm actually hoping to open just a little early, before June if possible. It's been WAY too long and I'm very excited to see your projects. So please stay tuned--I may open again early next week, after the Memorial Day holiday!
Literary Agent
In order to keep things moving along, get back to authors promptly, and hopefully remain open to submissions--I will be opening on the first day of each month for one week, moving forward. Catching up for three weeks and then opening again. Wash/rinse/repeat. 3/

I'm also looking for non-fiction projects in the areas of current events, true crime, science, history, narrative non-fiction, sports, politics, health & nutrition(I'd love a big brain book).2/

Writers, I'm excited to say I'm open to queries again! My #MSWL is mostly the same, but I'll post updates as I think of them!

#MSWL I’m also always on the look out for:
✨genre mixing projects!
✨gap area projects!
These are books that do fun things w/genre boundaries and/or hit "gap" areas of the market: voice-y lower MG, adventurous (or romantic) upper MG/lower YA, upper YA & New Adult.
Literary Agent
#MSWL I’d love some fun, voice-y school dramas both MG and YA. Kids scheming things, kids getting away with things, kids having adventures on fieldtrips gone awry!
And I'm happy to look at projects with unusual formats like The Tapper Twins series.
