Owl! at the Library 😴🧙♀️ @SketchesbyBoze
Hallmark needs to start making Hallowe’en romances. She’s a gal from the big city seeking a new life in a small town. He’s a mysterious horseman cursed to throw his flaming head at passersby for eternity. And when these two meet one night, sparks, and heads, will fly.#mswl .....

And always on the hunt for more queer adult and YA romance! Especially if it has a speculative twist! #mswl

Agents, I'd also love to find my queer cozy fantasy or romantasy I want the low stakes, strong vibes. Or the high stakes and swoonworthy shadow daddies...iykyk #mswl
Editorial Assistant
And I'm always on the hunt for more trans genre fiction, especially where trauma isn't the main plot thread (though I can read those too!). I'd love to see more trans femme rep in my inbox! Please universe! #mswl
Editorial Assistant
Another reminder to agents that I'm on the hunt for submissions this fall! I'd love to see MORE adult and YA #horror in my inbox! Give me your books that comp to Aliens and Scream or both! Your psychological horror! Isolated thrillers! I want all things creepy!

Had a wonderful convo w/an editor yesterday and we bonded over feeling like we have to clarify that wanting romance in horror does NOT mean we are wanting to get dark romances in our inbox(to each their own, im just looking more specifically for chill romantic subplots that break up the overarching horror rather than the romance BEING the horror #mswl )
Literary Agent
Decided to open for queries early. Get those queries in! Check out genres and submit here: QueryManager.com/ErinNiumata #MSWL

– just earnest love and maybe a beautiful setting as a backdrop. Second is sharp, complicated upmarket, with bonus points for a speculative twist. (Nightbitch was my second favourite TIFF watch!). I also love anything that revolves around art and ambition in some form #mswl 🍂
Literary Agent
🍂A little autumn #mswl update from me! I am very hungry right now for two things: first, a great romance. I saw Jane Austen Wrecked My Life, a brilliant French romance film, at TIFF last week and I would love something in that vein. Doesn't need to be super high concept –

🚨Query update! I'm...behind 🫠 I'm making my way through queries and promise to get back to you soon, BUT I'm going to open up from Sept 15-Oct 15. This will be the last time I open until the spring, so if you think we'll be a good fit, you'll have a chance to share! 🚨

Junior Agent Hunter Strickland will be opening to queries via Query Manager on October 1st! Stay tuned for her #mswl ! #amagenting
Literary Agent
everyone is into fungi now so I need to keep it edgy: when I reopen to queries* please hit me up if you have a slime mold book! Def in fiction but tbh this would be the perfect foray into nf, so that too #mswl
*if you’re in my pile I can’t wait to get to you! Slowly catching up.

Ultimately, for my list, I like to think of it as a balance between dark and twisty, and warm and cozy.
If the vibes are dark academia, witchy, creepy forests, poisonous plants, cottagecore, or anything gothic (whether it’s horror or historical!) it’s right up my alley.
Editor
I also want to see cozier romantasy, where magic is woven into smaller aspects. Think kitchen and garden witches that brew intention into their hobbies.
Editor
I would love to do more romantasy. Stories that are steeped in folklore and mythology.
I’d like to see magical academies (think THE MAGICIANS or FOURTH WING), lush world building, and romance with high stakes.
Books that would be for fans of Tamora Pierce are perfect for me.
