Right now, I’m especially looking for:
📚Smart upmarket & book club fiction
📚 Women’s fic
📚 Horror
📚 Thrillers with a twist
📚 Rom-coms (any spice level)

A snapshot of some genres I don’t rep:
🚫 Kidlit
🚫 SF / F
🚫 Memoirs (but I am open to hybrid memoirs!)

We are closing to queries at @LCSLiterary on November 15, 2024.
When we re-open I will have a new #MSWL . I will be primarily seeking adult - women's , historical , commercial, book club, upmarket/literary fiction, psychological suspense, thrillers - and YA contemporary Fiction.

TLDR: satirical novels about high society; grounded speculative fiction; sweeping family sagas; upmarket suspense & thriller; voice-driven contemporary fiction; postcolonial fiction; global stories; social & political critiques; stories exploring love, loss, grief, nature of time

I have updated my manuscript wishlist, and am actively looking for literary, upmarket and reading group fiction. Please do consider submitting to me if you think we'd be a good fit! madeleinemilburn.co.uk/agents/rachel-yeoh/

Here are 4 more vibes for our open submission period in January. We're looking for literary and upmarket manuscripts 😈😈
x.com/wildhuntbooks/status/1851580055052513628

Looking for literary to upmarket fiction and narrative non-fiction that’s ambitious and sticky and can momentarily distract from the world’s horrors but ultimately deepens our relationship with ourselves and fortifies us to engage with and fight for humanity.

Now Frankfurt is over, I’m so keen to find new authors to add to my list at
@MMLitAgency . If you’re a writer of literary/upmarket/book club fiction, I’d love to hear from you!

For adult fiction only (since these genres don't apply to children's): 4. Bookclub/women’s fiction: Voice-driven, high-concept novels across these categories. 5. Romance: Upmarket romance with a great one-line pitch. Happy with spice.

3. Thrillers: Upmarket thrillers with a unique spin. Love plot twists! 4. Historical: Open to everything with a strong hook and informed by excellent research. Would love to find non-Eurocentric historical fiction.

Specific #MSWL :

High concept, upmarket work that explores family/culture/history à la THE JOY LUCK CLUB.

General #MSWL 2:

Select Adult upmarket/literary work that is super high concept and feels fresh and hyper relevant (especially work that explores or intersects family/culture/history à la THE JOY LUCK CLUB).

On the adult side, I'm VERY much looking for book club fiction, i.e. upmarket, which is basically a commercial plot with literary writing. If you comp to Britt Marie Was Here or Eleanor Oliphant, PLEASE HIT SEND, thank you.

As I get ready to open up to queries on Oct. 1st, here's a #MSWL of what I'm looking for! If you're unsure if your project would be a good fit based off of this list, that's okay. Please still consider querying me 😊

*Any fulls I have are still being considered

Onto the #mswl ! This fall, for FICTION, I'm open to MOST THINGS! Surprise me! #amquerying

– just earnest love and maybe a beautiful setting as a backdrop. Second is sharp, complicated upmarket, with bonus points for a speculative twist. (Nightbitch was my second favourite TIFF watch!). I also love anything that revolves around art and ambition in some form #mswl 🍂

On September 23 I will open for: Smart Book Club Fiction, Upmarket Women’s Fiction. Looking for: propulsive storylines, rich characters, complex relationships, quirky, humorous with a dash of romance. Other genres to be announced. Submit here: QueryManager.com/ErinNiumata #MSWL

#mswl overview

✨Adult MSWL✨

I would love to see horror or projects with series potential. Though my adult list is very full at the moment and is where I’m least looking to grow at the moment!

Drumroll...🥁 @jsinsheim is open to queries!
