Here’s a bit more info on what I’m looking for this submission window! & be sure to check out my #MSWL for more: manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/lee-melillo

#openforqueries #literaryagent

I'm hoping to rep YA, New Adult, and Adult fiction written by, for, and about traditionally underrepresented communities -- authors who write in these categories and are BIPOC, neurodiverse, queer, disabled, immigrants, etc., please come say hi! I want to work with you. :) #MSWL

My #MSWL is officially live, and I can publicly announce that I've been promoted to Associate Agent at jenniedunhamlit.bsky.social. This is a dream. I'm so excited to begin building my list, and can't wait to hear from you! <3 www.manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/le...

I’ve answered all queries so I’m doing a soft re-open, narrowing down my #MSWL to focus on areas I didn’t receive many queries when I initially opened. I’d 🩷 to see your chapter books, MG: contemporary, MG: nonfiction, MG: novel in verse, YA: contemporary, & YA: novel in verse

Please feel free to query me with anything on my broader wishlist, within SFF and romance for YA, NA and Adult.

But these are the books that I will be especially excited by right now, based on what I am missing in my list and/or what makes me clap my hands with glee!

I can't wait to dive back in!

I’m open to queries through the 7th!

I am on the hunt for MG and YA mysteries/thrillers, gothic horror, and intricate, inventive fantasy!

I’m especially looking for stories from BIPOC and queer writers.

If you're querying a YA Dystopian with a strong romance, I'd love to see it. #mswl

Since my slush pile will be reopening June 1, here's an updated #MSWL for holes in my current list:
–Board book author-illustrators
–Early reader and chapter book authors or author-illustrators
–Graphic novel author-illustrators (any age in kidlit)
–Creepy, gothic, southern gothic MG or YA

I will be on vacation from June 13-22, and so that makes sense to me as a trial run for this new method. I'll give as many reminders as I can in the meantime, and I will still only be open to Adult & YA, SFF & romance.

Important: Do not submit to me anything that contains generative AI material.

I'd also like grounded fantasy or magical realism, sci fi, dystopian, paranormal, and select romance. Additionally, I'm seeking contemporary, coming-of-age stories with characters from low-income families and historical fiction featuring historically underrepresented identities.

YOUNG ADULT #YA
Vibrant and bold young adult novels with exceptional pacing and a distinct voice. My priorities in this space are horror (bonus points if rooted in folk lore) and mystery/thriller stories with a BIPOC main character.

Hi, #WritingCommunity ! I'm Ashlee, a new agent at Howland Literary, who is starting to build a #KidLit focused list (PB-YA). Here is my quintessential #MSWL 🧵with what I hope to find!

May is Missing and Murdered Indigenous People (MMIP) Awareness Month and I'd love to find something in the #YA space that honors indigenous communities and brings awareness to this like Looking for Smoke by K. A. Cobell! #MSWL

I represent #kidlit of all kinds, but what I’m most interested in receiving in my inbox when we are #opentoqueries on 6/1 is: uplifting contemporary YA, non-fiction for all age groups written in compelling prose, projects from author/illustrators, and novels-in-verse! #MSWL

#mswl reminder: I am still on the hunt for standout trans/genderqueer voices, particularly in YA but also MG, from speculative to gorgeously written coming-of-age. My partner is trans/nb, I’m genderfluid, and I will never stop championing genderqueer authors

Spies! For middle grade or YA #MSWL

While I am not open to queries just yet, I have a #MSWL profile you can check out for a preview on what I'll be looking for in the future! 😉
