#mswl #querying

@RebeccaLMatte is back open to queries! She's looking for Adult and YA Fantasy, Sci-Fi, Romance, and is especially excited about queer romance and stories that are unabashedly nerdy.

For more details, check out her #MSWL here: manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/rebecca-matte/

And now for some targeted #MSWL requests (1/2):

☑️ a YA dark academia/SFF/thriller Revolutionary Girl Utena
☑️ friendship & grief of Bridge to Terabithia/My Girl
☑️ the complex relationship between Louis/Lestat in the TV adaptation of IWTV
☑️ MG foster care

MG/YA #MSWL :
☑️ Horror
☑️ SFF (especially afro-futurism & magical realism variety)
☑️ Mysteries/Thrillers (would love some chilling psychological thrillers)
☑️ Historicals with a twist (spec, queer, mystery, etc.)

#MSWL In response to the characters-in-college discourse, I'm *definitely* looking for projects w/characters in college (trade school, etc.)!

Give me college romance, college adventure, college heists, fantasy colleges, colleges in space!! Looking for both upper YA & New Adult!

2) Nerdy and hobbyist books! Can be any genre I rep (SFF Or romance). Give me your D&D, your video games, your theater, your woodworking, your metallurgy. Love it all.

3) Fantasy & SF that incorporates games -- rpgs or video games. Love the meta and dual narratives there.

Craving #mswl

🕯power hungry scholars (I never tire of academic settings)
🕯whimsical cozy fantasies w/ a contemporary feel (romance isn't needed but appreciated)
🕯 fantasy sci-fi blends
🕯 laugh-out-loud fantasy
🕯 sapphic fantasies
🕯 shapeshifters or winged monsters

I represent these genres but I am also not limited to these genres: Historical, Literary, Women’s Fiction, Southern Fiction, Sci-fi, Fantasy, YA, Adventure, Speculative, Inspirational, Thriller. brandyvallance.com / barbarabovaliteraryagency.com #mswl #amquerying

- speculative fiction
(I prefer grounded, literary sci-fi + fantasy. few secondary worlds, but rather our world steeped in liminal magic and/or technology. anything creepy, toothy, gritty, strange, something that sends a shiver down your spine.)
- steampunk everything

#mswl

Stories about royalty are not the only stories. Normal people (& not just people misled to think they're normal people) can have big stories, too. I love my monarchs and heirs, but I'd also love to see more everyday people in extraordinary circumstances. #Fantasy #SciFi #MSWL

🚀 #MSWL : Seeking accessible sci-fi with a clever allegory on where we went/might go wrong as a species. Stories exploring AI’s societal impact & or new simulation theory, the future near or far/based in real science. Science thrillers too! #SciFiWriters #ManuscriptWishList

WRITERS! New #MSWL w/ a few changes. Still looking for Adult NF (lifestyle, parenting, sports, current events, etc) and YA/MG/PB, but expanding YA/MG to fantasy and still including dystopian/sci-fi/horror/contemporary. Make me laugh, make me sob! manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/shari-maurer/

as someone who loves HEAs, I need my sci-fi to be at least hopeful, especially if its near-future! #MSWL

Did I mention I'm open to #SciFi now?!! I would love to see a sci-fi romance. Or anything with multi-media elements similar to THE ILLUMINAE FILES by Amie Kaufman #MSWL

#MSWL Would love some nouveau riche casts in material too! Probably most interested in international settings for Adult work, though happy to see U.S. settings too especially in YA.

MG, YA, NA/Adult welcome. Genre mixing or SFF w/same vibes welcome! Would love BIPOC casts!

Basic summary of what I'm currently acquiring:
✔️MG & YA (all genres)
✔️GN for kids w/illustrator attached
✔️Adult/NA romcom/romcom adjacent
✔️Adult/NA romantasy
✔️Adult/NA SFF w/ strong romance
✔️Narrative NF in History only

And I usually acquire commercial material.

it's tough because i say "sff" and my light fantasy/fabulist/very lightly speculative people then don't realize I'm open to them!!

Is that the sound of a query box re-opening? This Wednesday, send me some hopeful science fiction and secondary world fantasy, and paranormal heists, please! And see the rest of my #MSWL here: corvisieroagency.com/gabrielle-harbowy.html #AmAgenting #Querying

Hi, all! I’m open to queries again starting today! Here are some specifics about what I’m on the hunt for but you can read my longer wishlist (and access my query form!) here: corvisieroagency.com/alexandra-grana.html
