If I missed your #SFFpit pitch, paste query & 1st 5 pages in email. Adult: SFF, thriller, cont. romance, & mystery. YA: thriller, SFF, horror, mystery, & contemporary. MG: SFF, mystery, contemporary, & horror. querylynnette (@) theseymouragency (.)com #diversity #MSWL #ownvoices

It's true! I'm open to queries so hit me with your best shot: querymanager.com/query/mferrara

Not only that—but I'm now open to picture books! My list is definitely children's focused in PB, MG, and YA -- but I'm selectively looking at Adult SFF and romance! #MSWL

#MSWL Lightning Round:

--MG with a unique hook and a focus on friendship

--f/f YA that explores the lines between friendship and romance

--Adult psychological thriller that *isn't* about a woman who might be crazy/imagining the whole thing

--Adult SFF that makes me cry

#MSWL Please please please adult epic fantasy that delves into class politics or social issues in societies I've never seen before, with articulate female/nb/trans MAIN characters & explosive stakes. Lots of magic, lots of emotion, romance welcome!

For queriers: I've just updated my #mswl profile with more detail than ever before! (Seriously, SO much detail.) Look over here: manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/patr…

#MSWL I love romance. Give me YA romance. Rom-coms, star-crossed lovers, slow burns, enemies to lovers. I want to be swept off my feet. Chemistry on the page is what I need to see.

Writers: I want to see a romance hero based on this fine man #mswl

I also like archaeologists and treasure hunting stories!! Give me something like The Mummy or Indiana Jones in book form. Bonus if this is somehow turned into a romance! I’d love to see a YA too. #MSWL

I’m looking for historical romance that is warm and tropey, high concept and engaging. I also like high concept historical romance that goes dark and explores characters a la Kerrigan Byrne. Where are the diverse and #ownvoices historicals? #MSWL

Boosting, because I REALLY want a book about Idlewild. #mswl

#MSWL: books for teens that deal with relationships/love/romance but that don't romanticize the notion of "the one."

"Would love an East/West Germany or Berlin Wall historical with a romantic hook. Something sweeping and heartbreaking." @carlywatters #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

Where’s all the adult speculative fiction and romance?! #mswl

This. Right here. Gimme gimme! #MSWL

#MSWL

#MSWL I want a MS that includes a romance, framed around an antihero like Damon from the Vampire Diaries (doesn’t have to be straight romance & I’m not necessarily looking for a vampire). Wounded, bad to the bone (but good too, redeemable), infuriatingly compelling. Give me.

YA: Much the same as MG--humor, realistic teen stories, #ownvoices, adventure, sci-fi. Also, love a good teen romance, horror, mystery, but not super-dark.

Children's NF at all levels: curriculum tie-ins, PB bios, multicultural history, science, sports, pop culture.

#MSWL. Always looking for great adult fiction, e.g. Southern Gothic, medical romance, romantic comedies, Up Lit, domestic thrillers, historical fiction, women’s fiction, mysteries and cozy mysteries. You can email me at atuttle@dystel.com.

Also, this is the first time I've articulated this, but one of my favorite books—and movies—is Call Me By Your Name. (Rereading the book last year was one of my greatest joys of 2018.) Boy, what I would give to find a coming-of-age and romance with that same pull. ❤️❤️❤️ #MSWL
