My #9 #mswl is adult speculative fiction authors along the lines of VE Schwab, Madeline Miller, TJ Klune, and Erin Morgenstern!

Guys, I'm sorry, but I really don't represent thrillers. #mswl #pubtip

My #10 #mswl is a modern twist on classics! Like Anne with an E. Make Diana and Anne gay!

As promised, I'll be doing my top 10 #mswl requests to count down to the reopening of my query box at 1 AM EDT! To note, I'm looking to advocate and support authors from underrepresented communities. Their submissions (especially BIPOC and trans voices) will take priority.

for info on how to pitch me, check out jillgrinbergliterary.com/contact/ and please, please, pleeeease send your first 50 pages as an attachment, not in the email itself (help spare my already questionable vision so i can do this for a v long time)

can't wait to read your work!! ❤️

✨ and above all, anything that makes me stop reading, clasp my heart, and say "oh my god" out loud (yes, yes, vague but ACCURATE)
