Today is the day!! The submissions email is open! 😁

Pitch me your work about:
Women in STEM
Groundbreaking and boundary-testing historical characters
Pop psychology pieces

Stay tuned for more from my #MSWL.

I would love to see a book proposal for a non-fiction book about the history and politics of the concept of “nice.” #mswl

It begins. I'm open to queries again at @PSLiterary!

You can check out my #MSWL over on my blog.

Happy New Year, let's make some books. ericsmithrocks.com/blog/2019/12/2…

So, with all of that said, I'm really looking for some well written Adult Contemporary Romance. I'm super into Tinder date fails rn, enemies to lovers tropes, BFFs to Lovers tropes, and boss a$$ women who don't sacrifice their work for any man. #MSWL Slow Burns favored! 😉

I will still be open to YA stories, but will be much more selective about them (or I will TRY to be! I keep picking them up, gosh darn it! I've been trying!) However, I currently have 6 mostly YA authors on my roster, and I need more adult and MG authors! #MSWL

For 2020, I am mostly looking for Middle Grade (Upper) and Adult stories! This includes MG Fantasy, Sci-Fi, Contemporary, and Historical or any mix of the above! It also includes Adult Contemporary Romance and Adult Fantasy and any mix of the two! #MSWL

To query me: corvisieroagency.com/tara-gilbert.h…

Misc. wants:
- Artist and Illustrators for picture books and graphic novels.
- Tarot card proposal.
- Middle Grade and YA nonfiction by underrepresented authors and spirituality.
#mswl

In General Fiction, I'm super picky, but would like:
- Literary Fiction by diverse authors.
- High concept Romance like RW&RB.
- Books that would fall in the NA category if it existed.
#mswl

For Middle Grade, I am desperate for:
- Horror that would even make adults squirm.
- Themes with puzzles and riddles.
- Group of kids going on adventures in their hometown.
- Graphic novels (in YA too)!
#mswl

For Young Adult, I am really craving the following:
- Fun Historicals like A LADY'S GUIDE
- Best friend stories/platonic love stories.
- Contemporaries that make me cry.
- A YA Killing Eve!
- Stories for young YA (14 and 15-year-olds).
- As always diverse voices.

or me! #MSWL

#MSWL for MG

#mswl

Something that makes me laugh as hard as @BrockmireIFC #mswl

just finished Stephen King’s IT and it should be said that an unlikely group of kids coming together to fight horrific supernatural evil with adventure and humor is very much my #mswl 🤡

Since posting my #MSWL the other day, I’ve gotten a lot of queries for things I do not rep, which are on my page at jdlit.com with my sub guidelines. I am not looking for hard sci-fi, epic fantasy, or political or military thrillers.

1000% #MSWL

I open up to queries again at @PSLiterary on Monday, so I've updated my wishlist!

I'd love to see more adult fiction and non-fiction this year. Send me your messy genre-blending stories, niche cookbooks, and complex memoirs.

Details on the blog! ericsmithrocks.com/blog/2019/12/2… #MSWL

Finally ...

* I’m always looking to be surprised. I suspect the next manuscript I fall in love with will be something I never could have known to ask for. 😘
