I’ll be open widely to queries for the first time from Sept. 1st through the 7th!

querymanager.com/query/3212

I’m excited to continue building as diverse of a list as possible, and am especially looking for illustrators and author-illustrators.

Good grief. If you can write me a book that channels Glen Powell & Ryan Gosling that could be optioned for a movie I’d be all over that. #MSWL Has to be hooky & commercial with a strong plot & characters (obviously) lots of humor, swagger, action & showcases their personalities!! x.com/njhftdolans/st/njhftdolans/status/1828489144789565570

I'm noticing that many of the submissions in our portal don't include the word count or the genre. When submitting on our portal or directly to me via email, please be sure to always include the genre and word count. Looking forward to reading your queries & manuscripts! #MSWL

Lil' heads up--when I reopen to queries this fall, in addition to fiction, I'll be opening widely to ALL categories of adult non-fiction.

I'd also love to connect with some self-pub'd writers looking for an agent to help exploit audio and foreign rights! 👀

An imperfect metric, but when determining if your book is literary/upmarket speculative fiction or commercial genre fiction, the amount of jargon is usually an indicator. I love new or redefined words to describe original concepts but anything w/ a glossary, prob not for me #MSWL

I've gotten a lot of SFF queries lately, so please keep in mind:
YES - near future, primary world, humans or mostly humans, plausible tech, the supernatural
NO - alien races, fantasy creatures, swords & sorcery, invented languages, magical kingdoms, intergalactic anything
