On TikTok, I saw this great advice about opening your novel demonstrating your main character's flaw in some small, but obvious way! I'm seeing a lot of manuscripts not starting with the main character at all! #writingtips #MSWL

Wait... I want this book. Someone send me this book. #MSWL

Heading into summer reading, updated #MSWL , on #QueryManager . Would like to see more YA, NA, and Adult science fiction, family saga, and unique retellings. Can have subgenres in historical, horror, magical realism, military, speculative, environmental/climate, & extinction.

Maybe it’s because there’s so much doom and gloom in the world right now, but I’d love to see YA in my inbox with more humor. I want more cozy fantasies with light-heartedness, sass, or even snark, not constant death and destruction. #MSWL

Grosse Pointe Garden Society #MSWL PLEASE

It'll be a while before I reopen to queries (I swear I'm getting to them!), but when I do, I'd love to see more manuscripts from Mizrahi Jewish authors. #mswl

Random #MSWL : YA fantasy that features tattoos in some way

hyper specific #MSWL

three musketeers. any speculative shade, as long as it’s queer

specifically the vibes of this adaptation

#MSWL for more novels. I really need more novels on my list so that is where I am going to focus my query attention for a bit.

I just found out about the Texas Gay Rodeo in Denton and now I really want a queer cowhand romance 🙏 #MSWL

#mswl greyhausliterary.bsky.social is currently looking for contemporary romances! I would love to see authors who know the Harlequin Romance Line well so when you query, showcase that knowledge! If you are a Harlequin author, feel free to query as well! Not really looking for Rom-Con now!

Over time, space will open up in my client submission schedule as different publication timelines are finalized for different projects. When that happens I'll reopen to fantasy and middle grade fiction. For now, I look forward to reading your queries in the categories listed in this thread.
/🧵

In the past year, I signed 5 clients who are actively working on YA or Adult fantasy projects, and 3 who are writing in middle grade. There are a limited number of editors acquiring those types of books, which limits the number of projects I can take on submission at a time.
🧵/

I'm not reopening to YA fantasy, adult fantasy, or middle grade fiction at the moment. I thought it might be interesting to explain to authors why that is (hint: it's not because I no longer like fantasy or middle grade books, or that they're not selling).
🧵/

Looking for the same things as usual: YA rom-coms that combine shenanigans with some deeper social issue, YA suspense focusing on local injustice, YA heists (please send me your lesbian heist novels!). Still on the lookout for a story about child labor rights.
🧵/

I also love graphic novels as a medium for memoirs. It's such a cool way to see inside the creator's head -- how they view themselves, how they view the world, how they fit themselves within that world.

Newly opening to: Graphic Novels!

I'm looking for tightly plotted adventures with a strong hook and an elevated art style. I'm interested in similar themes as in prose: children or teenagers tackling unjust systems, an intense first emotional experience connected to a larger social topic.
