It's that time of yeay! A very basic one-sheet #MSWL for 2024, but as always: I love to be surprised! Next week when I re-open, you can find my queries at Query Tracker!

Future #MSWL & QM update:
I have less than 40 undecided queries/submissions. I plan to reopen mid-late January to a few genres. This info is not on my website or MSWL page yet— it’s just a head’s up and I hope it’s helpful!

✨ ADULT FICTION✨
• contemporary romance - think Emily Henry but low spice or Melissa Ferguson
• upmarket / book club
• cozy mysteries

✨ NONFICTION✨
- same as what’s on website -

✨ KIDLIT ✨
• PB/MG/YA - classic-style with a literary bent. Secret Garden. Bridge to Terabithia. Winnie-the-Pooh.
• PB - humorous character-driven series

‼️Not looking for SEL or rhyme.‼️

before i re-open to queries (please send me your weirdest & wildest), i whipped up a little something to show what i'm looking for these days:

@MarilynBiderma Senior Literary Agent and Partner at TA is opening up to queries from November 27th until December 15th!

Witty & satirical upmarket women’s fiction that reveals a nasty side to a major industry (i.e. fashion, film, etc.) as in The Other Black Girl or The Devil Wears Prada. #writingcommunity /5

In that nebulous category of "literary/upmarket fiction," I favor character-driven narratives in which identity is the unique lens through which the character engages with society, but it's not the story in itself. Trauma, turmoil—these should be vehicles for understanding

It pains me to do this, but I'll be closing to YA/MG queries for a while starting at the end of this month. My focus right now is on signing adult literary/upmarket fiction & nonfiction, and I want to give fair consideration to my existing backlog of kidlit queries. #MSWL

"I am always looking for creepy horror stories for middle grade, young adult, or adult readers.I’m seeking an upmarket horror fairy tale retelling."

"Looking for a juicy upmarket thiller/slasher like THE FINAL GIRL SUPPORT GROUP, ACTS OF VIOLET, and/or GOODBYE EARL."

I've given my what I'm looking for a bit of a tidy up. If you are a writer of literary, upmarket, and book club fiction seeking representation, I'd love to hear from you! #MSWL #amwriting #amquerying

"I'm on the lookout for upmarket/commercial/book club fiction highlighting childless (and happy about it) adults AND stories about co-parenting."

#1 this is absolutely insane #2 where is my bitingly sharp upmarket women's fiction novel about the wellness industry and MLMs and maybe cults #mswl

I am really craving stories with more upmarket or literary voices—especially in a quieter story with a really unique or surprising premise.
