I'm no longer tired post-Covid and I am hungry for amazing, complex, propulsive storytelling that reflects the world around us, YA and adult fiction. (Agented only) #MSWL

#MSWL (agented only) - YA or adult - novels that can be comped to shows like Never Have I Ever, It's Okay to Not Be Okay, Jane the Virgin, Bridgerton, Sex Education

#MSWL (agented only) - YA / adult romance, would love a fun workplace romance, enemies to lovers always, grumpy/sunshine, heart breaking but hopeful, joyful, fresh takes on time honored tropes

#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

I want a cosplay graphic novel #MSWL #YA

You can now find my #MSWL on the official Manuscript Wish List website, as well as on my own website! manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/sera…

More in YA…
- edge-of-your-seat mysteries
- character-driven multi-generation stories
- smart, funny, emotional characters in the upper YA space like Fangirl or Emergency Contact

In YA…
- hooky, heart-fluttering romance with adorable meet cutes
- genre bending, alt history, dystopia that challenge social norms
- blurring lines b/w heroes and villains
- royal families and political intrigue

Agented subs only! And I’m only accepting YA and MG at this time:)

I’m looking for…
- BIPOC centred stories full of joy, heart and adventure
- found family
- atmospheric writing
- layered storytelling
- Anything and everything set in the modern day South

“Adult fiction or YA graphic novels comping #DeadbyDaylight or #HocusPocus that are still totally character-driven and emotional.” @readbystephanie #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

By some miracle, I'm nearly caught up with my queries (not that I'm caught up with my to-read pile!) and I'm really hungry to see some more thriller/suspense/horror in my inbox whether adult or young adult! Also horror/spooky middle grade 👀 #MSWL

"Weird and wonderful tales for YA like Wilder Girls by Rory Power, They Both Die at the End by Adam Silvera, and The Strange and Beautiful Sorrows of Ava Lavender by Leslye Walton" @agentvicente  #MSWL mariavicente.com/representation

#MSWL:
MG Genres I’m looking for: fantasy, contemporary, mystery, historical, horror, light/near-future sci-fi

YA: fantasy, contemporary, mystery, historical, horror, light sci-fi, romcom

Adult: light SFF, upmarket, horror, romcom

Across the board (MG, YA, and adult), I’m drawn to:
-stories with a strong family element, whether that’s biological or found family
-protagonists who aren’t the best at whatever they do or The Chosen One, but who try really *really* hard, even when they screw up

#MSWL

I only do MG and YA. My taste leans commercial and escapist and ultimately…fun. Big imaginations. Joy of adventure. Humor. Romance. Big feelings. I’ts okay if we’re not a match. There’s a bazillion agents these days. #MSWL

manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/laur… I did a proper thing! #mswl

For the UK #amquerying crowd: NOW would be a very good time to send me fun contemporary MG, magical realism MG, YA romance, YA horror or other YA/crossover SFF.
