Seeking any mix of the following:

Sci-fi • space opera, aliens, monsters, romance

Fantasy • high/epic/second-world, retellings, mythical creatures, *limited* magical systems, time travel, academia, romance

I'm finally open to submissions again: My #MSWL is here: manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/julie-crisp/ Super excited to see what comes in! 🥳🥳

I'd also love to see #ownvoices Latin-America-inspired mythological fantasy. It could be contemporary, historical, or a fresh retelling.

Anything featuring my favourite animal gets bonus attention.

#YA #MSWL :
- all genres & YA/Adult crossover
- fast paced, high stakes, drama
- snarky, voicey, morally grey protagonists & villains
- trope-filled romances!
- competitions, tests, quests
- retellings & fresh takes on classics
- YA fantasy is my favorite!

Something I didn’t know I wanted on my #mswl
• fairy tale or classic retellings/reimaginings
• modern stories about characters from fairy tales/classics and themes from said stories

FOLKTALE or FAIRYTALE retellings, particularly from a little explored tale or from an underexplored culture or canon, would immediately grab my attention. By no means does a retelling need to stick strictly to the original source - a liberal dose of imagination is welcome. #mswl

I'd love a really emotionally sharp Magic Flute retelling.

Middle Grade: I'm really looking to build my MG list! I'm looking for a little bit of everything--fantasy, retellings, adventure stories, touches of magic, mysteries, spies!

My agent profile is finally up at MSWL! Check me out at:

I’m particularly in the mood for astrology-inspired fantasy, courtly intrigue, a witchy romance, myth & fairytale retellings, sapphic romantasy, undercover assassins, life or death trials and anything dark academia...

4 - Queer fantasy, queer SF, queer dark academia, queer Gothic, queer roadtrips, queer retellings, queer… you get the gist.

Also some mythical retellings and / or adventures inspired by non-Western myths and legends for the middle grade market? #mswl

I'm still looking for my speculative retelling/reimagining of the life of Hatshepsut. #MSWL Just putting that after since I finally got to read "Iron Widow."

I’m a sucker for a retelling/reimagining. I represent at least 6 of them and I want more!!! #mswl

In fantasy: Anything with a fairy tale at the root of the story is fair game but also any retelling of a classic story is my jam. From Shakespeare to Spielberg, I love stories that take familiar characters and upends their world and everything we thought we knew about them. #mswl

In historical fiction, I’d prefer stories not set in Western Europe or the USA. Hidden histories and female-led retellings are also up my alley.

I would also love to see some retellings in my inbox, whether that be of classics or myths #MSWL
