Some #MSWL -y thoughts about what I’d love to see in my inbox:

•MG about space, fiction or non-fiction! My mom works on glass used in the aerospace industry; I have a lifelong fascination with all things outer space.

•Trans authors!

•Adult queer romance with asexual heroes!

Onto the #mswl ! This fall, for FICTION, I'm open to MOST THINGS! Surprise me! #amquerying

Writers, I'm open to queries and seeking faith-related nonfiction from authors w/ strong platforms. Fiction I'm looking for: women's fiction, sweet or closed door romances/rom-coms, and stories w/ magical realism. #opentoqueries #literaryagent #mswl rachellegardner.com/submissions

hi. yes. need.
On the lookout for some spooky (horror or thriller) romance YA / New Adult / Crossover fiction. #MSWL

Well, it happened. SO excited to share I’ve joined the amazing team @jenazantian has assembled at Azantian Literary Agency as an associate agent, repping MG, YA, queer adult romance, and nonfiction! Editors, please say hi—I’d love to chat!

And always on the hunt for more queer adult and YA romance! Especially if it has a speculative twist! #mswl

(to each their own, im just looking more specifically for chill romantic subplots that break up the overarching horror rather than the romance BEING the horror #mswl )

– just earnest love and maybe a beautiful setting as a backdrop. Second is sharp, complicated upmarket, with bonus points for a speculative twist. (Nightbitch was my second favourite TIFF watch!). I also love anything that revolves around art and ambition in some form #mswl 🍂

🍂A little autumn #mswl update from me! I am very hungry right now for two things: first, a great romance. I saw Jane Austen Wrecked My Life, a brilliant French romance film, at TIFF last week and I would love something in that vein. Doesn't need to be super high concept –

I would love to do more romantasy. Stories that are steeped in folklore and mythology.

I’d like to see magical academies (think THE MAGICIANS or FOURTH WING), lush world building, and romance with high stakes.

Books that would be for fans of Tamora Pierce are perfect for me.

#amquerying / #amwriting ? Here's my #MSWL !

🧠 A twisty psychological thriller ft. a unique setting
✨ Stories that explore moral dilemmas
🏳️‍🌈 LGBTQIA+ romance

I'd especially like stories from underrepresented backgrounds and voices.

Romance:

Okay, #WritingCommunity …a new item in my #MSWL …

Romance w/a plus size female lead who is comfortable in her own skin. And by plus size, I don’t mean a size 14. I mean a size 18 or 20ish. She’s not self deprecating, no dieting, but exercise—not for a guy but bc she likes it.

I'm drawn to ambitious, complex, & weird stories. I love intelligent characters with complex morality. I'm a fan of fantasies grounded in the contemporary world that seamlessly blends magic. If your story features romance of any kind, I'm all in.

I represent MG, young adult, & adult speculative fiction (including science fiction, fantasy, horror, & cross-genre books). In all age groups, my taste gravitates toward speculative fiction with subtle romance & lush prose. Horror, mystery, & romance elements are my soft spot.
