Call For Submissions

"I love Gothic fiction of all kinds and crave horror through immersive atmosphere and prose." @alexandragrana.bsky.social #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

I was speaking with @vickyweberbooks.bsky.social recently about what I’m looking for in my inbox, so I thought I’d share my MSWL here too.☺️ Here are some things I’d love to see: 🐉 Non-Western Epic fantasy like N.K. Jemisin, Andrea Stewart, Shelley Parker-Chan, Rebecca Roanhorse, Marlon James 1/?

"I'm looking for genre mashups that are high-concept and fast-paced, such as FOR HUMAN USE." @madisonpotter.bsky.social #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

I'm sorry, but AI-generated #mswl lists for me are often wrong. I've seen ones that include genres I don't typically represent, because the AI picked up on a different agent who does represent that. Argh!

"Seeking plus-sized women's fiction characters/heroines." Carly Watters #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

Every part of your query helps me fully consider. In a synopsis, I'm checking to see if there are large plot holes, thin character arcs, etc. This helps me understand the level of work your manuscript might need before going on submission.

I made an update to my agent site (sarahnfisk . Com) that I want to draw your attention to!

"I love romance subplots that heavily feature yearning." @alexandragrana.bsky.social #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

I'm starting to get novel submissions that seem to have been rewritten and polished using AI. All I can say is -- please, don't. It's not just making your prose less original, it also may interfere with copyright. Good writing comes from practice, keeping at it, and not giving up.

"Send me lady knights, yearning, and narrative twists!" Marina Green #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/
