In YA I’m also looking for:
-mystery
-horror
-retellings/reimaginings (that don’t stick TOO CLOSE to the source)

YOUNG ADULT

In YA, I am open to a wide variety of genres. Specifically. I’m looking for:

Romance
-contemporary with a strong hook
-laugh-out-loud romcoms
-speculative twists (timeloops, vampires, magic, ghosts, etc.)

An updated #MSWL thread!

In general, I’m looking for Adult, YA, & MG fiction. I'm drawn to romance, horror, lower SFF, and genre blending & am always looking for more diverse perspectives. I am NOT right for erotica, non-fic, lit fic, or lower MG/chap books.

Specifics below.

I would like to see more queries in my Inbox that offer great escapism, both on the adult as on the YA side: horror, thrillers, mysteries, romance. #MSWL .

✨Exciting news! I'm open to CB's, MG & YA submissions!✨
*No PB's, sorry.

#MSWL - I'm open to anything, but I'm especially looking for funny, horror & romance. A mashup of the 3 in a YA sub would be perfect.💖
Submissions open 1st-21st of each month.

#mswl for YA!!!

Here for the cozy YA mystery #MSWL

Okay, I freaking love Ren Faires and I would love to see a Ren Faire contemporary YA #MSWL

Ahead of opening to queries this week, I am going to retweet some of my #MSWL tweets. This month I am really looking to find more YA novels, particularly hoping to find a fantasy or more contemporary coming of age romances.

@RebeccaLMatte is back open to queries! She's looking for Adult and YA Fantasy, Sci-Fi, Romance, and is especially excited about queer romance and stories that are unabashedly nerdy.

For more details, check out her #MSWL here: manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/rebecca-matte/

Targeted #MSWL cont. (2/2):

☑️ YA asexual and/or aromatic rep

☑️ a YA dark academia/SFF/thriller Revolutionary Girl Utena
☑️ friendship & grief of Bridge to Terabithia/My Girl
☑️ the complex relationship between Louis/Lestat in the TV adaptation of IWTV
☑️ MG foster care

MG/YA #MSWL Nos:
🚫 YA/NA crossover (If you story is set after high school it's not for me)
🚫 High fantasy/portal fantasy
🚫 SFF with themes of colonialism, imperialism, slavery
🚫 not super partial to sports stories unless there's a twist (thriller, speculative, horror, etc)

MG/YA #MSWL :
☑️ Horror
☑️ SFF (especially afro-futurism & magical realism variety)
☑️ Mysteries/Thrillers (would love some chilling psychological thrillers)
☑️ Historicals with a twist (spec, queer, mystery, etc.)

#MSWL In response to the characters-in-college discourse, I'm *definitely* looking for projects w/characters in college (trade school, etc.)!

Give me college romance, college adventure, college heists, fantasy colleges, colleges in space!! Looking for both upper YA & New Adult!

My YA asks are also very small...rom com and dystopian.

To everyone intrigued by this #MSWL call out or indeed more generally, if you think I might be a good fit for you (Agent profile: belllomaxmoreton.co.uk/agents/callen-martin) please do submit to me. I work in Children’s (7+), Teen, YA and New Adult / Crossover, in all genres – very excited to read!

As Summer has finally decided to arrive I am ready to grab an iced Diet Coke and my Kindle and dive into my submissions! I am on the search for #CB #MG and #YA ! My #mswl is very broad and wide - from the funny to the lyrical emotional and everything in between. Books I ❤️below!
