Happy #MSWL Day! I'm Stephanie Winter, a literary agent at KO Media Management, specializing in illustrated works and nonfiction across all age categories. For 2025, I'm especially searching for fresh takes on cookbooks, witchy nonfiction, and highly visual nonfiction with gifting potential.

Hello everyone, and thanks to manuscriptwishlist.bsky.social for organizing #mswl day!

I'm always on the lookout for both fiction and nonfiction projects. You can find a full breakdown of what I'm currently looking for here:

Happy inaugural #mswl day to all who are #writing and #querying ! I’m a literary agent looking for adult fiction and nonfiction. You’ll find my full #mswl profile here, www.manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/la..., and below is a snapshot of what I'd love to represent this year.

#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!

Happy #MSWL day! Working with a decent amount of nonfiction now, so would love voice-driven upmarket fiction to balance it out. Always enjoy a splash of genre and weirdness with a heart (MARGO'S GOT MONEY TROUBLES; THE WEDDING PEOPLE, etc.) Full wishlist:

It's #MSWL day! I'm looking for writers of adult fiction and occasionally nonfiction who approach the world with wonder & keenness, imagination & care, and heart & humor.

I want books that incorporate internet culture, fiction and nonfiction. #MSWL

I represent creators of graphic novels and graphic nonfiction for all age categories. I’m particularly looking for graphic novel proposals that push the boundaries of the format—a book that NEEDS to be in a visual, sequential format. #MSWL

Some nonfiction books I love: Hello I Want to Die Please Fix Me, The Creative Act: A Way of Being, All the Gold Stars, Witches of America, Taschen’s The Library of Esoterica series, What We See in the Stars, The 2000s Made Me Gay, Trick Mirror, Nightmare Fuel. #MSWL

In nonfiction, send me proposals about art, the environment, pop culture, psychology, science, cultural history, and occult topics. Give me new perspectives on entertaining topics. #MSWL

Like many others, I’m really feeling cozy, hopeful, and even silly vibes right now. Give me light to fight the darkness! In fiction, I want a humorous friendship romp! In nonfiction I’m looking more for untold inspirational stories and curiosities than exposés and diatribes.

I have clients who write and illustrate for all age groups and am open to all genres! There are a few things that I’m NOT right for, however: political nonfiction, erotica, sports nonfiction, true crime, and anything hateful toward any people group or philosophy. Respect > Rancor!

Happy #MSWL Day!
Check out my current wishlist. Please, peruse my interest in Adult Thrillers/Suspense AND Narrative Nonfiction in particular.

One more #MSWL post. It's not enough for nonfiction authors to have a good idea and to write skillfully. I tell my clients they must quanifty themselves. Don't expect the publisher to build your platform; they seek to leverage yours!

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!

I also enjoy narrative nonfiction, including books that blend memoir with another genre, like memoir + true crime or memoir + a deep dive into the history of a certain phenomena. #MSWL

On the nonfiction side, I'm looking for fresh prescriptive nonfiction with a strong platform. I'm drawn to books made for an underrepresented audience, as long as there's a clear market for them. #MSWL

I'm drawn to books that are psychological, whether that means a psychological thriller, a novel with a really strong character, or a narrative nonfiction psychology book. #MSWL

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.
