I’m going to post a #MSWL list in the new year, but I’m actively looking for MG 🧵
-diverse friendships like STRANGER THINGS or THE SKELETON CREW
-True Crime mystery feel
-Magical Realism with a dystopian twist like SWEET TOOTH
-Jurassic Park
-Space Jam (sports with a speculative twist)

A very specific want for the New Year is a fantasy sports book with romance 🥹 #MSWL

#mswl I would LOVE a fictional taken on this!!

Would love to see more stories like these! #MSWL

Cannot recommend THE GOD AND THE GUMIHO & SCORCHED SKIES enough & I cannot wait to read THE GRYPHON KING & THE LIBRARY AT HELLEBORE when they release 🥹

*I do not represent these titles.

Next year, I’m hoping to find a SF project that could be described as retro futurism or hopepunk. I want space as optimistic adventure, not “this is our last hope.”

I'm still learning everyday in this position and it's one I love deeply so please understand why my list is so small and why I have to reject certain projects.

Hi! I updated my #MSWL for 2025, it's a lot smaller than what it originally was and I hope to expand it again in time but for now, I need to focus on keeping my list small and doing all I can for the clients I take on while making sure I'm not overfilling my tank. 1/?

I can’t wait to see your stories! For reference, here are our submission guidelines at Ki ✨✨✨ 9/9 ki-agency.co.uk/submission-guidelines

Please please send me things that match the vibe of these songs - and I generally love music comps (though I’m not always up to date with pop music) 5/?

As I used to be a medieval historian looking at storytelling in history writing, I’d love to rep some creative interpretations of world mythology and history. I adore Nicola Griffith, for example. 4/?

These are some of my fiction favourites from recent years (not an exhaustive list) 3/?

My taste runs towards the atmospheric and character-driven, and I love stories with a strong sense of emotional tension.
Please send me all the queer/disabled/author of colour stories - and I’m keen to represent writers who write in English as a second language. 2/?

as I’m opening to queries in a few days, it’s time for a proper #mswl . I’m looking for YA/adult SFFH and serious trade non-fic in the broad history/sociology space. I’m very keen on the literary end of genre, as well as commercial stories that say something about society. 1/?

also I am reading @sapphomancer .bsky.social’s Metal from Heaven and I’m only a chapter or two in and this is some of the most insane, voicey, incredible writing I’ve ever read. bravo.

(and also, if anyone can comp this: #MSWL )

I’ve been seeing a LOT of high fantasy in my inbox lately, which is wonderful! But I’d love to balance it with more:

🌖low fantasy
🌗historical fiction
🌘new adult
🌑dark academia

Especially with tropes like slow-burn, forced proximity, ⚔️to♥️, and forbidden love✨
#MSWL

If you can comp to Arcane, I want it in my inbox #MSWL

Still going through Query Manager. If I don't find what I'm looking for, here's my 2025 #MSWL . A Thriller comp to NONE OF THIS IS TRUE by @lisajewelluk , a Sapphic Romance comp to @DHawkinsAuthor NOT IN THE PLAN, a PB comp to @BrianGehrlein THE BOOKS OF RULES. #amquerying

I accept unagented and agented submissions. Pretty booked for the 2025 year, but you never know.
