I currently represent projects alongside @EmeraldCityLit founder Mandy Hubbard and senior agent Linda Epstein and I’m truly on the hunt for something and someone to represent. If you have anything on this #MSWL, please send and let me know!

Where are my stories of women teaming up for good or evil or a little of both — #MSWL
Still dying for my (YA) or adult remake of Sugar and Spice - I love these girls

2023 #MSWL! As a reminder, I represent BIPOC, queer, & marginalized creators making joy for themselves in SFF & horror for MG, YA, Adult, and Graphic Novel.
My existing MSWL is still a mortifyingly perfect encapsulation of my tastes, but this year I'm looking for even MORE:

"I read widely in YA, and enjoy just about every genre in it. I love moving contemporary reads, thrilling sci-fi, and lush fantasy."

Some of my YA favorites lately and upcoming books I’m excited for: Firekeeper’s Daughter, Undead Girl Gang, Truly Devious, Summer of Bitter and Sweet, Your Lonely Nights Are Over, and You’re Not Supposed to Die Tonight #MSWL

Always intrigued by stories told over one night like We Are the Wildcats, or thrillers over one night, like a #YA version of Survive the Night. #MSWL

Looking for #YA and #MG with big, complicated family dynamics like #Succession, but kids, think: dramedy. Please though, nothing with tons of POVs #MSWL

I’m open to queries as of right now!! You can send me your letter and first 10 pages on QueryManager here: QueryManager.com/caitlinwhite

To help you out, here’s a thread of #MSWL and anti-MSWL for any #amquerying writers thinking of submitting their fiction #YA and #MG

As 4/15, I am completely caught up on queries.

Still looking for author/illustrators!

I'm very hungry for MG and YA non-fiction.

We are going back to the moon. Send me your space race non-fiction! The Right Stuff for kids! Voyager 1 is turning 50 soon! Give me SPACE!

I once taught a film class on Alfred Hitchcock. I would love to see a Hitchcockesque YA, or adult, suspense manuscript. #MSWL.

Super excited to announce my official #MSWL has been posted on Manuscript Wishlist!

manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/sami…

Random YA #MSWL: Something like the Carol & Barb origin flashback from Orange is the New Black but with more details about what drove them to become teen killers.

I, like everyone else, have been obsessed with "Anti-Hero" for months.

If your YA character would say "I'll stare directly at the sun but never in the mirror," then hi, hello, I want to see your book. #MSWL

I'm still dying for a Do Revenge YA book!!! #MSWL

I'd love a zeigtgeisty absurdist critique of modern inequalities (adult or YA) along the lines of White Lotus or Knives Out, ideally from the POV of marginalized characters.

Bonus points if it feels as unsettling as the White Lotus theme song! #MSWL

In Graphic Novels (young readers, MG, and YA), I'd love to see:
📷 STEM topics for young readers
📷 Tweens saving the world
📷 Queer teens living their best lives

In YA, I'd love to see:
🌞Queer romance
🌞Thrillers with isolated settings
🌞Horror with gothic and atmospheric vibes
🌞Historical that centers on POC stories
🌞Subversive and dark fantasy

I havr been saying this for a while now
#MSWL for this

While I love a good contemporary fantasy (whether lighter/funnier or darker/creepier) I am not usually the right person for YA high fantasy. You can still query me with your high fantasy stories, but it's likely it won't be for me as my interests are so limited here.

I am pretty picky with my YA spec fic interests, and it's sort of an "I'll know it when I see it" situation. That being said, I tend toward contemporary fantasy, horror, and/or relatively grounded narratives that feature some kind of speculative twist (i.e.: CEMETERY BOYS).
