"Send me books about surfing! Romance, fantasy, non-fiction—I’d love to see them all!"

"I love a strong romance plotline in a speculative setting, like THE UNDERTAKING OF HART AND MERCY and WINTER'S ORBIT."
Rose Ferrao #MSWL

#mswl butch protagonists, please! Especially in YA! A YA romance with a butch love interest would be so delightful

That's all for now. I don't answer questions about queries on Bluesky so direct any questions to the ASH Literary submissions email address. Looking forward to reading!

#mswl I still haven't signed a YA rom-com and I'd love to! Send me rom-coms please. I love fun, bantery romance with thoroughly teenage priorities, especially when grounded in queer or multicultural identities.

Hi agents, I’m on the hunt for high-concept layered YA & MG novels! #MSWL

For YA: romantic fantasy; dark academia; mystery/thrillers like We Were Liars or Firekeeper’s Daughter; thought-provoking horror or gothic; romantic coming of age like Aristotle & Dante & Last Night at the Telegraph Club 1/3

"I'm on the lookout for Gothic horror and horror/romances that are fresh, unnerving, and get under my skin."

"I want contemporary romance with a really strong b-plot (think THE ARC by Tory Henwood Hoen)."

#MSWL A book akin to “The Apothecary Diaries.” Think June Hur—a historical mystery with a slow burn romance, preferably in an underrepresented location and culture.

In kid lit I'm looking for...voicey identity driven middle grade, romance with cultural significance, adventure fantasy with knights, coming of age in international settings #mswl

In adult fiction I'm looking for...speculative horror/thriller, contemporary romance, philosophical sci-fi, fantasy with cozy magical realism, identity driven book club fiction #mswl

Getting ready to reopen to queries so sharing some MSWLs

Where are my Klaroline romances #MSWL if you know, you KNOW

Adult genre fiction, especially horror (send all your horror!!!), mystery/thriller, and romance. Selectively happy to consider sci-fi and fantasy.

And as many know I’ve spent a long time in children’s, and I’m still considering all children’s titles for Zando. Many more…

"I am seeking atmospheric, voice-driven fantasies with expansive world building and slow-burn (but angsty!) romance."

"I'm seeking romance, literary, commercial, and suspense."

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

#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 A YA or NA historical romance with a swoony love story and a strong hook in a setting that feels different. While regency England can be fun, I’d love something that hasn’t been done before. Bonus if it’s an LGBTQIA historical romance.
