Happy #MSWL day, #writingcommunity !

I’m looking for…
- Intricately plotted #A fiction & mainstream #YA (any category).
- High concept suspense #T in unusual settings.
- #WF that hooks readers on characters & their stories.
- #R , sexy or not. Bonus for happy endings! #Hs & contemporary are welcome.

#MSWL cont.

-A big splashy YA speculative and/or horror with lots of commercial appeal
-SF or science fantasy with a fresh concept that would appeal to a mainstream audience
-I’m specifically looking for the above wish list items from underrepresented voices

For MG and YA, I could use some projects to reinvigorate things. Humor and optimism and joy would be nice. Fanciful, fantastic twists. Books that have FUN and let readers have fun. (I really can't handle depressing stories right now.)

MG, YA or adult, I'm always looking for high-concept, commercial reads. Great plots and hooks. Strong voices and characters in those well-drawn worlds and situations. I'm up for some genre blending. A rom-com in a dystopian world? Agatha Christie in space? Murder mystery and dragons? Do it.

Keeping in the theme, I'd love a horror (YA or Adult) like YELLOWJACKETS that's as much about the speculative element as the interpersonal tension

I just watched BOTTOMS and, unfortunately, it's going to be my personality for a few months. I'd love a YA with that level of funny, young voice and tropes taken to absurdist extremes.

Niche #mswl dream projects: I'd love a girl in the world of competitive online gaming. YA or NA

Some niche #MSWL dream projects: CRYPTIDS. YA fiction with some mystery, thriller, maybe even horror. Give me the eery Appalachia stories or a chupacabra in Puerto Rico. If you have cryptids, I want to see it.

Happy to take part in manuscriptwishlist.bsky.social #MSWL Day! Please see my full guidelines for more information www.stormliteraryagency.com/submission-g...

But I'd love to see something with the different cultures and #LGBTQ influences of XO, Kitty in YA Contemporary Romance!

#MSWL I'm looking just for MG and YA for original submissions, but agents, most of what I do is IP/work-for-hire on brands and licenses, mostly picture books through chapter books, activity books, and some nonfiction picture books. If you have clients with experience in that space, let me know!

Okay, agent friends, it's #MSWL time! I'm an Associate Editor at Penguin Workshop, looking for middle grade and YA, as well as graphic novels in both categories. I love historical fiction, fantasy, and mysteries, and if you have something that combines those elements in a clever way, send it to me!

Happy #MSWL day! I’m Aiden Siobhan at @ldlainc .bsky.social. I rep Adult, YA & MG! I am on the hunt for:
-Diverse stories that are joyful, defiant, inspiring
-Genre fiction & blends
-Fresh settings/adaptions/myths
-Disability, mental health, and ND rep

For #YA , I’m really on the lookout for a cozy fantasy, fantasy with immersive world building, dark academia, and would love a fresh take on vampires or the Eternal One trope.

For #MG , it’s all about the voice and high stakes adventure for me.

Thanks to manuscriptwishlist.bsky.social for organizing #MSWL day! I’m open from 1-7 of every month and here is what I’ll be looking for in March:

I rep PB-YA and gravitate towards projects that have a clear, commercial hook and a captivating voice. 🧵

I’m looking for what I like to call “weird and wonderful” YA novels. Magic realism, or stories that blend genres to create something new. Examples: Wilder Girls by Rory Power, They Both Die at the End by Adam Silvera, and The Strange and Beautiful Sorrows of Ava Lavender by Leslye Walton. #MSWL

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.
