I have not been the best at being active over here so far, but I'm using #MSWL Day to remedy that!

I'm a literary agent at Dystel, Goderich & Bourret representing picture books, middle grade, YA, and adult fiction, and select nonfiction and graphic novels.

Some kind of romantasy or fantasy romance in YA. Standalone preferred but series potential is okay. Would love something without “I must save the world” type stakes but there’s still a solid plot and conflict #mswl

I’m a sucker for royalty stories—secret, just discovered, in hiding, etc. I love contemporary—though fantasy and historical are also cool—in YA or MG. An MG childhood favorite is “The Princess Plot,” and a recent one is “Red, White & Royal Blue” but for YA. Romance or crushes are encouraged #mswl

Happy #MSWL day! One thing I'd love to see in my query box is a cohesive fantasy or urban fantasy heist novel with paranormal elements, an immersive world, and all the feels. YA/NA/Adult

The rest of my wishlist can be seen at my pinned post, along with my query link. Please don't pitch in replies!

Finally made the move over here for #MSWL Day! Writers, give me your monsters—both literal and metaphorical. Give me characters who feel monstrous or *are* monsters! I especially love a thread of romance with someone who feels unlovable and someone who's devoted to them anyway. 😈 MG through Adult!

Melissa Bergum @writingbubbly.bsky.social

Would you ever be interested in rom-coms for younger readers? Like a first crush kind of rom-com?

For YA, absolutely. For middle-grade or tween, it would have to really fit the age group and have much more going on in the plot beyond the romantic element, if that makes sense #mswl

It's worth noting that while I'm really looking for rom-coms, and I enjoy romantic elements in fiction and in YA, I'm not the right fit for category romances #mswl
