Hi! 👋🏻 I’m a literary agent at The Ampersand Agency actively building my list 📷 Here is my manuscript wishlist 📷#mswl To submit, please send three chapters/50pp to patchenlucillen@gmail.com, along with a synopsis and a brief bio.

#mswl

"Send me upmarket genre fiction: fantasy, grounded science fiction, magical realism, and horror."
mariavicente.com #MSWL

"I would love to find a super cozy and quirky mystery."
clgslr.bsky.social‬ #MSWL

"I'm fascinated by explorations of fandom and fan culture like IDOL, BURNING."
Rose Ferrao #MSWL

"Send me graphic novels or graphic nonfiction with a distinctive illustration style that makes use of the visual format for middle grade, young adult, or adult readers."
mariavicente.com #MSWL

I'd love to find a YA that is like Gallagher Girls Series or PRINCESS DIARIES. #MSWL

Closed to unsolicited subs but if you have written this book or would be interested in writing it, comment here and I’ll send you a DM!

Every time a new James Cameron Avatar movie comes out I am reminded that one of my biggest #MSWL items is books by Indigenous authors about space exploration/exploitation

My top two #mswl wishlist items for 2026 are:
- an exciting adult mystery or thriller with something to say. Something that feels like Alyssa Cole's WHEN NO ONE IS WATCHING or
kellyekell.bsky.social's MISSING WHITE WOMAN
- mg or ya set in Appalachia by someone from there. Especially with 🏳️‍🌈 or ♿️ rep

"Got a story featuring femme gore and body horror? Send it my way."

i’m looking for agented authors of color interested in writing new adult contemporary romance for our new adult imprint, requited. any agents i can connect with on this? #mswl

Note: I will reopen to author-only creators in the picture book space after the holidays 🫶

📢 AUTHOR/ILLUSTRATORS 📢
Surprise! I'm open to picture book author/illustrator queries from now until the end of the month. I will be prioritizing humor, high-concept hooks, STEM topics, and fresh approaches to evergreen topics #mswl

#mswl I've received very few graphic novel proposals since re-opening to queries, so I want to shout from the rooftops that, as a graphic novelist myself, children's comics are my jam and I want to see all of your pitches! Comics are so important!

#mswl I am gleefully losing my mind at the characters and tone of MAY I ASK FOR ONE FINAL THING and can't believe that the season is already ending this Friday. Turns out I love when elegant ladies get to punch baddies. Make me laugh while keeping me at the edge of my seat!

#mswl I adore will-they-won't-they romance, slow burn, established pairings, and more. I'm open to all YA graphic novels including romcom, but for prose I'm strictly open to children's fantasy, spy, and heist, not contemporary romance. It was listed in error on querytracker, now fixed.

#mswl - Here are some things I'm longing for in my inbox!

While I'm open to all MG and YA fantasy I'm especially craving second-world, epic fantasy adventures. Lately I've been devouring the Alanna books by Tamora Pierce. Send me stories with unusual crafting trades and competent protagonists.

"Seeking nonfic like Clayton M. Christensen's THE INNOVATOR'S DILEMMA and Michael Lewis' FLASH BOYS."
