*YA/NA contemporary including royalty! Desperately looking for a book that gives me the same impression as the tv series The Royals
*YA magical realism with witches (think of The Secret Circle)
*YA/NA sweet romance with a feel of the Love, Rosie movie
*NA cozy mystery

Very specific here but I recently lost a wonderful desi witches book and so I NEED one in my life #MSWL

“Books about witchcraft and other occult topics, like Becoming Dangerous edited by Katie West, Witchbody by Sabrina Scott, and Witches of America by Alex Mar.” @agentvicente #MSWL mariavicente.com/representation

Because @EmilyCroyBarker cannot write ALL such books, please, #queryingauthors, sending me smart witchy adult novels! I have a craving. #mswl

Editor
#MSWL (agented only) - YA and adult - Gothic horror or fantasy, would love a fantasy that reads like a fun romp (like This Vicious Grace), vampires, witches, morally gray characters

Editor
Here's what I'm looking for in NOVELS:
🌟High-concept YA fantasy and speculative fiction, especially that which uses the conventions of its genre to critique, subvert, or illuminate a truth about our world
▫️Think: Raybearer, Graceling, Dread Nation, The Witch King #MSWL

Editor
Since I'm open to queries again:
MUST HAVE: Adult romance only. NO YA. Fantasy or sci-fi sub-genre ONLY.
Prefer: High heat level
#MSWL list:
1. Vampires or witches (still looking for something different)
2. mystery & humor even if dark
3. Bridgerton w/PR element
4. Surprise me

Literary Agent
For YA, I'm more turning to Historical, Contemporary, and Contemporary Romance. Super selective on Fantasy and Paranormal right now, though would still love to see concepts on witches or ghosts (and vamps if unique!)

I am open to queries. I repeat: I am open to queries.
What do I want? Who knows. I mean, I do know. Maybe some fae, some smutty fantasy romance, maybe some gay witches, I don’t know let’s also throw in a himbo or two.
I am open to queries.
That is all.

In Middle Grade, I'd love to see:
🧢Fantasy inspired by myths, folklore, or legends—especially if it's not European
🧢Historical that centers POC stories
🧢Contemporary with an environmental bent
🧢Horror with ghosts, creepy crawlies, and witches
🧢 Earth-based sci-fi

I just learned about Boston marriages where wealthy 19th century women "married" each other by moving in together to keep their inherited or hard-earned money to themselves and some of these "marriages" turned into actual romantic relationships. And now I'm obsessed.#MSWL but witches/vampires/werewolves/etc.

Literary Agent
I also love paranormal elements like monsters and ghosts. And anything witchy! I love characters fighting their own "inner demons” too! I'm selectively open to elements like vampires.
Any atmospheric setting--e.g. an eerie seaside town might be cool!

Literary Agent
Last night I procrastinated so much on Actual Things (cleaning? life? etc) that I made myself a website 👀 taragonzalez.com

Happy Spooky Season!! I always want spooky books (especially witchy stuff) but I'm really in the mood for vampires a la THE MORGANVILLE VAMPIRES. Definitely also time for a re-read. #MSWL

Literary Agent
- Something “earthy”—be that a lyrical picture book about environmentalism or a MG hiking action-adventure or a darkly atmospheric YA that takes place in a forest or anything in between
- MG and YA with rural settings
- Witches, boarding schools, sister bonds
(3/3; #MSWL)

Literary Agent
I was updating my Manuscript Wish List and it got auto-corrected to Manuscript WITCH List and I think I'm just going to leave it at that. Send me all the witchy stuff. #mswl

Editor
Let's have a little fun with the #mswl this time. ;)
I'd love to see a clan of witches who ride motorcycles! Maybe they have their own club...

Literary Agent
ADULT ROMANCE (2/2)
🔮Paranormal, but ghosts and witches rather than vampires and werewolves
🎬Relationships in the public eye (think THE SEVEN HUSBANDS OF EVELYN HUGO)
💥Unlikable heroines! Enemies-to-lovers!
🔥 All heat levels

Editor

Did we ever get rom-coms with speculative elements? Witches fake dating or student rivals to lovers in a lunar academy?Yes, please! This is absolutely on my #mswl for #MysticOwl
