It's #MSWL day!! I'm currently closed to queries and working my way through, so this is going to be VERY specific. I'm hungry for BIPOC sports- and hobby-centric MG and YA. And in adult, BIPOC-led mysteries (including cozies) and thrillers. I don't get enough of either of these!! Link below:

Please be nice and don't use this link unless your work truly matches. If it doesn't match and it's submitted using this link, it's an automatic pass from me.

#MSWL I’d love to find a YA/crossover or adult novel that is magical, dark, and mysterious in our own grounded world a la Maggie Stiefvater’s THE RAVEN BOYS or a cozy with-some-teeth fantasy like Emily Wilde’s ENCYCLOPEDIA OF FAERIES.

- YA mysteries that feel like Truly Devious or One of Us is Lying

- YA psychological thrillers like We Were Liars

- YA horror that is gently spooky and also very dark YA horror

Happy #MSWL to all! This is my page, updated it relatively recently: www.manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/em... I will be open to queries again on the 3rd of March. I'd love some voicey YA, particularly with romance, picture books on topics not usually addressed in pbs & fantasy that sweeps me away.

#MSWL You can call it dystopian, near-future, 5 minutes in the future--whatever you like--but I'm looking for grounded speculative fiction in both YA and Adult with stellar prose, resonant and relevant themes, and deep character development.

Though I've been dipping my toes into younger children's books lately, the only children's genre I'm actively seeking out is YA. I love a funny contemporary YA novel, a twisty mystery, or a super dark horror novel. Basically, I'm looking for the same genres in adult and YA. #MSWL

In contemporary YA, I want weird. I want queer. I want earnestness unafraid of itself. I want wordplay. I want fun. Would love to see something contained within a unique setting—on set at a TV show, at sea, something about leap years… #MSWL

Happy #MSWL day! I’m an associate agent at Azantian Literary Agency, looking for:

•select middle grade
•young adult contemporary realistic fiction, and realistic-ish, like A.S. King
•queer romance
•adult nonfiction

Wanna dive deeper into my wishlist? Let’s!

Just a reminder, while I am open to all speculative fiction, I'm really looking to fill some *specific* areas:

High heat romantasy
Non-western fantasy
YA + MG horror/horror romance
YA + MG mystery/thriller

(Here are some past visual #MSWL )

*note, I do not represent these books*

It's #MSWL day!

Today I'm hunting for YA Science Fiction, the more epic and sweeping the better! Send me Space Operas and Starships, Undiscovered Planets and Aliens galore.

(Pierce Brown for YA would be a dream comp)

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

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!
