I am officially open to queries again! 🎉 Looking forward to seeing all of your amazing MG and YA submissions in my inbox 🤗 Check out my MSWL to see what I'm looking for!

Attn: writers seeking agents! My queries are open! Find out more about my updated #MSWL and how to query me here: manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/kristin-ostby/ #amquerying

Thank you and welcome to all the new follows I’ve gotten since posting my new Manuscript Wishlist profile! If you don’t know me yet, I’m a YA and MG agent and former Big 5 editor. Very gay, very liberal, very geeky. Actively growing my list. My query link is in my bio. 😊

Young Adult: I'm going to be a bit more picky when it comes to YA as this is where most of my current clients write. But I'm really going to be looking for Rom-Coms (with an emphasis on the comedy)! Think She's the Man!

My agent profile is finally up at MSWL! Check me out at:

I want a YA Sweetbitter — intense coming-of-age set in the very messy restaurant world. #mswl

I'll be opening to queries June 1-30. I'm specifically looking for #MG and #YA written by #LGBTQIA + and/or #BIPOC authors. The only genre that I'm not looking for is fantasy.

"Send me YA nonfiction: memoir, essay collections, you name it. QUEER, THERE, AND EVERYWHERE is probably my favorite YA nonfiction title in recent memory, and a great example of what I'd like to see."

👋🏽 hi, still not really here, but an update: i'm closing queries to everything BUT YA right now. send it all - horror, contemporary, romance, fantasy, thriller, paranormal, sci fi [space shenanigans pls], murder mysteries, etc etc - my way if you'd like 🙇🏽‍♀️ #MSWL

I’d love to see more YA thrillers, mysteries, horror and dystopian in my inbox! #MSWL #amwriting #amquerying #writingcommunity

Barring some fulls and a couple of partials, I am caught up on queries! With that in mind, I'm widening my wishlist and am now open for MG and YA as usual, as well as, apropos of [REDACTED], adult romance. Think Emily Henry, Talia Hibbert, Ashley Poston! Can't wait to read! #mswl

YA and up: Family dramas that make you LOL or weep, no in between; Cute romances; kids trying to find their people and find themselves on the way; All sorts of spec-fic; all kinds of horror; cyber/solar-punk, with an emphasis on the punk; books that will radicalize kids

"I want stories that celebrate neurodiversity, from authors who are themselves neurodivergent, both in fiction and nonfiction, middle grade, young adult, and adult."

Dreaming of a witchy horror comedy YA novel with a killer ensemble... #mswl

Spent my weekend at an air show and had so much fun! #mswl MG/YA/Adult Romance that features planes, pilots, airports, or an air show!

Hi authors who have just found themselves in need of an agent - I’m happily open to queries (PB thru YA) and would love to hear from you if you think we’d be a fit! #MSWL in bio! #writingcommunity #amquerying

#MSWL just dropped 👀 Send me your weirds!

Taking conference pitches this weekend made me realize I have a TERRIBLE NEED for queer historical YA. Not fantasy! I want real queer teens living, loving, and existing throughout the ages. If you have this, agents, I'll take them even though I'm closed to submissions! #MSWL

2. YA fiction. Original fantasy, romantasy, psychological thrillers, dark academia, horror, sci fi & heart-pounding adventure. Worlds to get lost in, characters who have chemistry! Surprises and revelations!
