And finally, a YA #MSWL :
- Commercial YA
- A novel that is NOT set in a high school
- A heist book
- A humorous novel-in-verse

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

As a new literary agent building my list, I’m looking for :
Christian living, self help, psychology, Christian devotionals & Bible studies, historical fiction, contemporary fiction, women’s fiction, YA, picture and board books.
(Just popping in here, I’m very active on Threads) #mswl

2025 #MSWL :
-an YA Fantasy that feels fresh
-a sweeping epic YA romance
-a great YA mystery (LOVE Rian Johnson and if you can comp to the vibes there, even better)
-a YA mermaid book
-College set sex advice column book
-hypernormality in Dystopian
-spooky adjacent picture book
-weird and quirky

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!

#mswl

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

Also looking for fresh and funny YA novels #mswl

Im Gabriella Melendez and I’m an assistant agent at greatdoglit.bsky.social . I represent genre fiction YA, NA, into adult (usually characters from 16-30). I’m especially interested in Fantasy, Cont. Romance and anything with Latinx representation! #mswl

I'm currently closed to queries and won't be fully participating in #mswl Day, but when I reopen I'll be on the lookout for:
- YA romcoms with depth and shenanigans
- heist novels
- literary horror
- author/illustrators working on picture books and graphic novels

Happy #MSWL BlueSky! I would love to connect on romance: romcoms, paranormal, suspense, something new but different; cozies; young adult and self-help that makes me think in a new way. Excited to see what's out here!

Happy #MSWL day!

some specific shoutouts:
- voice! voice! voice! anything voice-driven with some kind of social lens (YA/adult)
- a literary love story a la PAST LIVES (A24) and FIRST LOVE (Netflix)

my general wishlist remains the same so please do check it out!
