#MSWL LGBTQ+ non trauma centered YA & Adult fiction. A romcom would be fun, I’m always looking for masculine presenting lesbians. BIPOC stories always a plus.

If you have something that fits this specifically DM me.

I'm open to queries for a little bit! querymanager.com/query/kellyvan…

I did a little #MSWL refresh. In addition to my forever loves MG and YA, I'm aggressively seeking occult nonfiction and Adult SFF and contemporary romance!

I would love a historical fiction of the real pirates of the Caribbean, featuring real people mixed with fictional characters that draws from actual events that took place around 1720. Adult, MG, or YA. Dark or light-hearted. #ManuscriptWishList #MSWL

I also ONLY rep kidlit, specifically #YA and #MG fiction. That may not have been clear on #MSWL because I got a LOT of adult fiction this time, which is an auto pass. Not to make people annoyed or that I don’t love it but because I specialize to better help my clients right now.

#MSWL YA fantasy that isn't "dark". Dare I say fun, maybe funny? Something that feels bright? Still has to have a solid hook and story problem to solve.

I’m also a super-duper realistic horror fan (Scream and Jaws are two of my favorite all-time movies), so I’m here for contemporary realistic slashers that aren’t too gory, thrillers, and whodunnits (Scream is a whodunnit!!) in #YA #MSWL

New year, new #MSWL!

I represent BIPOC, Queer, and marginalized creators writing commercial genre fiction across MG, YA, Adult, and Graphic Novel. My particular weaknesses are genre-blending SFF, horror, and anything with murder or making out (ideally both)

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:

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
