Excited to announce the official release of my #MSWL !! 💜✨ Please note that I will be opening to queries MARCH 3, 2025. In the meantime, I can't wait to see what will pop in the box in the near future 🥳

#mswl

It’s #mswl day!?! Oh, hello! 🥰

I’m an agent contextliterary.bsky.social and I’m actively looking for MG, YA & Graphic Novels in #kidlit and contemporary romance, speculative, sci-fi, and book club fiction in adult!

All the cozy fantasy. Grounded speculative as well.

Running late on #MSWL Day but HMU if you have smart literary spec work like HOW HIGH WE GO JN THE DARK or STATION ELEVEN with a spiritual twist: whp.submittable.com

Another big #MSWL would be a fresh, twisty, tightly paced psychological suspense with smart, strong female characters - I'm open to contemporary or light speculative in this genre.

Happy #MSWL day! Here's my recently-updated, quite specific wishlist: www.manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/ra...

& one more for good luck: I am hankering for a horror novel about the whole tradwife scene. DON'T WORRY DARLING / THE STEPFORD WIVES on the internet ..

Can't wait to get your queries!

Clocking in for #MSWL Day duty 🫡

I’ve updated my profile on the website (will be linking below) but the tldr of it is that I’m looking for #horror #speculative #contemporary #upmarket and #literary #fiction for #adult and #ya . For #nonfiction I want to see #jounrnalism and #culturalcriticism

#MSWL cont.

-A big splashy YA speculative and/or horror with lots of commercial appeal
-SF or science fantasy with a fresh concept that would appeal to a mainstream audience
-I’m specifically looking for the above wish list items from underrepresented voices

Happy #MSWL Day! 🎉 Here are a couple specifics I’d love to see:

-Adult horror based on intriguing historical events (e.g. The Donner Party in Alma Katsu’s THE HUNGER)
-High concept adult fiction with a speculative thread for the book club space
-Fantasy in spooky settings

I’d rather read mss that attempt difficult things and execute them pretty well than ones that attempt what’s easy and execute it flawlessly. Dream big #MSWL ! Open for submissions in May, read more about what I'm interested in at www.manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/ch... lfpbooks.bsky.social

Keeping in the theme, I'd love a horror (YA or Adult) like YELLOWJACKETS that's as much about the speculative element as the interpersonal tension

right now, I am particularly thirsty for queer romance (high concept, speculative, or historical), grounded fantasy (cozy or literary > epic), and literary fiction about gender and the body, queer and trans histories and futures, and characters who are trying hard to imagine a kinder world.

some keywords that always catch my attention, in no particular order: queer, trans, archive, epistolary, speculative, fabulist, weird, dis/ability, theater, classroom, library, romance, quirky, cozy, culinary, madcap, haberdashery, rabbit. 🐇

It's #MSWL day! I represent adult SF, fantasy, and horror; also open to mainstream fiction with genre elements, or a deeply surreal/speculative flavor. This year, I hope to expand into romance and mystery, esp. with speculative elements. I like books to be smart, fun, and weird.

🧵

The number one item on my wish list right now is upmarket and literary fiction. Contemporary or speculative. Anything strange, weird, or depressing is for me. #MSWL

#MSWL Unusual retellings, and fiction that has a mythic quality or creates new myths! Bonus points for morally gray protagonists, stories that open doors to secret knowledge or hidden worlds, and genre elements from fantasy to historical with a twist, spec fic, and literary-commercial fiction.

I’d love to see fantasy, spec fic, SF, comedy of manners, Rom-Coms, historical with a twist, and contemporary fic based on Japanese culture and/or set in Japan. I spent two years each in Tokyo and Osaka, and have an ongoing love affair with all things Japan. #MSWL

#MSWL You can call it dystopian, near-future, 5 minutes in the future--whatever you like--but I'm looking for grounded speculative fiction in both YA and Adult with stellar prose, resonant and relevant themes, and deep character development.

Just a reminder, while I am open to all speculative fiction, I'm really looking to fill some *specific* areas:

High heat romantasy
Non-western fantasy
YA + MG horror/horror romance
YA + MG mystery/thriller

(Here are some past visual #MSWL )

*note, I do not represent these books*
