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

🚨 Loving reading all the #QuestPit pitches. If I like you're project and you'd like to submit, please send your submission to rebeka@darleyanderson.com and include your tweet and #QuestPit in the subject! Can't wait to read them.

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…

We are back open & I've updated my #mswl and genres I'm looking for. Anything not on the drop-down menu, I am not accepting at the moment.

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
