There are some exciting #YA titles on my desk at @vulpine_press! I'm building a list of quality #YAlit with well-realized worlds and complex characters. If there's a pinch of magic, all the better! #MSWL #amquerying #amwriting #WritingCommunity vulpine-press.com/submissions-1

Have I mentioned lately that I'd love some folk horror/cozy horror submissions from marginalized creators, in both YA and Adult?🙏🏽 #mswl
Editor
Agents! I’m excited to talk to you. I love contemporary stories of all kinds with characters that jump off the page. While I’ll look at (almost) everything, I’m especially leaning into MG and YA. Let’s chat! #mswl

If you think Succession or the concept of American Royals with a corporate oligarchy twist could be a good comp to your YA, please send it to me!
I know I'm probably asking for a lot here, but I'm hoping someone out there has this🧐

Opening up to queries soon. Authors ask me what I am looking for. A nonhelpful answer is "I'll know it when I see it." Ultimately looking for:
*adult fiction maaaayyybe some YA
* something new, fresh that I haven't seen before
* if suspense: an "I didn't see that coming" moment
Literary Agent
YA Fiction:
Rom-coms, paranormal romance, dystopian romance, science fiction/fantasy/speculative, & thriller/suspense. I would love to see: diversity, LGBTQ+, environmental issues/climate change, school settings, and mental health.

YA! I'm focusing in on upper YA this year that appeals to the crossover/new adult space. I am looking for YA mysteries/thrillers; graphic novels; fantasies (see above); historical; and contemporary! Anything above I'd love to see in an YA-appropriate setting!
Literary Agent
Historical fantasy! While the cozier, the better, I'm also looking for fantasies that sit in the upper YA/new adult space that are firmly historical and grounded. Think "The Last Magician" or "These Violent Delights"
Literary Agent
Low-key fantasy! Epic fantasies aren't for me right now, but I'm loving warm and cozy YA/new adult fantasies that don't break the mental bank. Think "The House in the Cerulean Sea" plus "The Ex Hex" - grounded, perhaps supernatural, and heavily dosed with romance!

—Magic realism in its traditional meaning as a movement of Latin American and Caribbean or African fiction.
—Queer genre YA of any kind, especially from QBIPOC.
—Jewish fantasy, including second-world, or fantasy featuring or built around a minority religeon
Literary Agent
Otherwise in YA, I'm looking for:
—Contemp fiction with a fresh POV, gorgeous prose, and a strong hook
—Fantasy featuring diverse characters, mythologies, and beasties, from Baba Yaga to the Bái Zé; any creature that lives outside the mainstream and in the shadows

For YA, if you can comp your book to one of these recent favorites, then I want to see it in my inbox 👀
