When I was younger, I read Freya North's Cat, which was about a journalist covering the Tour de France. And Jilly Cooper's Riders featured the Olympic show jumping. Fiona Walker's French Relations/Well Groomed shows Badminton Horse Trials.Give me more recs like this!
Plus, if you can bear the thought of partnering with an agent who would have to start contacts from nothing, then #MSWL on sporting bonkbusters. Extra credit if they're a) an unusual sport and b) queer!

I love sports of all kinds and the Olympics give me the opportunity to watch elite athletes in more obscure sports do their thing. #mswl #writingcommunity #amagenting #amwriting @Olympics @TeamUSA

Thought of another one for the #MSWL: I'm always looking for memoir/narrative nonfic about extreme sports, athletes, & adventure (think ALONE ON THE WALL, BORN TO RUN). Brought to you by me going nuts over the Olympic trials (Sha'Carri Richardson!!!).

Relatedly, I would love a book on CTE and traumatic brain injury, contact sports, capitalism, identity, and culture from an expert on the subject and/or a contact sport athlete (I'm looking at you, #DerbyTwitter). #MSWL

Just another super FUN and funny day playing nine at Ben Browns, one of my favorite little courses in the world. Btw, looking for golf and sports books, too! #mswl #literaryagents #SaturdayThoughts #SundayMorning #weekendvibes #health #golflife #vaccination #COVID #outdoor

I’d love books about sports or other competitive team activities (debate club! Robotics!) as a frame. #mswl

📚 More diverse, inclusive sport & competition stories! Send me entertaining stories that make palms sweat & hearts race & inspire us to get out & try something new. Underdog teams, determined solo athlete, and everything in between are fair game. So what counts? #MSWL

In adult nonfiction, I'm still looking for untold histories, memoirs with a big hook especially if they are extreme sports or adventure stories, pop science, cookbooks, & culinary histories. Again, send me your weirds.

Right now, I'm very eager for realistic contemporary fiction in both YA and MG. As I just tweeted, I'd love it if it's funny and queer. Hit a home run if it's by a #BIPOC author. (Sorry for the sports metaphor. I don't even like sports.) #askECLAI am here for this but not apologizing for the sports metaphor because I LOVE sports, so points if it's sports related. #MSWL #askECLA

Still think about how I have not yet received one query for a contemporary YA that's QPOC Sugar & Spice #mswl I want that bitchy sisterhood amongst competitive high school sport/club, wtv.

I'm super pumped to have a queer hockey book on my roster now, but I am not satisfied! More queer sports written by people of color with real competition and real feelings! #MSWL

Erin Clyburn ~closed to queries~ @erin_clyburn
Trying to switch my brain off work mode, but I keep thinking about manuscripts I’d love to see when I reopen to queries later this month. So here’s a little #MSWL thread I’ll keep adding to:A riveting YA or adult adventure novel featuring outdoor sports - a hiker, a climber, an ultramarathoner? A YA about teens hiking the Appalachian Trail or the PCT?!

Literary Agent
A F/F sports romance. I'm shipping Megan Rapinoe and Sue Bird, so if you have a story you'd comp to their story, please send it my way. Or you can comp it to Ali Krieger and Ashlyn Harris. Doesn’t have to be soccer either. #mswl 5/

And I'm still looking for a soccer team book. Would prefer 2-4 main characters who are on the team and POV characters. I'll settle for any sport if soccer isn't available. #MSWL

Literary Agent
Looking for inclusive fiction of all kinds. Also still hungry for beach reads and romcom (YA especially, but adult too!) Seeking sports romance of all kinds, & I'm a huge hockey fan! But love football too and am also a sucker for the Olympics, and related books and shows. #MSWL

Literary Agent
My actual ultimate #MSWL is a YA fictionalized story of Amanda Nunes and Nina Ansaroff—two female world class MMA fighters who meet and fall in love and become the sport’s #couplegoals.
