I've said it once and I'll say it again, I'm really wanting some propulsive feminist thrillers! Women supporting women! Taking down the patriarchy kind of stories! #MSWL

In kid lit...
voicey identity-driven middle grade, romance with cultural significance, adventure fantasy with knights, coming of age in international settings

In illustration...
art that emphasizes line elements, pastel/bright color schemes, pixar-like character expressions, sketchy with a colored pencil feel

In graphic novels...
cinematic panel sequences, buddy adventure fantasy, dreamy solar punk sci-fi coming of age through language, speculative cultural narratives, stories where places feel like a character In adult fiction...
speculative horror/thriller, contemporary romance, philosophical sci-fi, fantasy with cozy magical realism, identity-driven book club fiction

In non-fiction...
digestible civics & current affairs, international journalism, pattern recognition in nature, exploratory issues in pop culture from creative industries

"I'm looking for voicey kid lit! For adult fiction, I'm still looking to grow my horror list and identity-driven book club fiction. I want to learn something new in non-fiction and find a project that helps others learn things in digestible ways." @loveleemonicaa.bsky.social #mswl

Monica gravitates toward stories about identity, family relationships, and travel. She is looking to uplift underrepresented voices, including, (but not limited to) authors who identify as People of Color (BIPOC), disabled, neurodiverse, and LGBTQ+. In children’s literature, she is currently looking for MG, YA, & Graphic Novels. She also represents illustrators and comic artists. On the adult side, she's seeking contemporary romance, horror, speculative sci-fi, and book club fiction. She is also open to non-fiction submissions. If that sounds like your manuscript, please send a short description and short bio (your query) + 5-10 pages of text pasted into the body of the email to querymonica[at]contextlit.com (no attachments).

-for illustrators & graphic novels-
Please send a bio/artist statement + IG and/or other social links + website link to your portfolio. If you have a pitch packet for a graphic novel, please include a query letter and a link to the packet online. Monica will only request a PDF if she wants to see more.

I'm late for #MSWL day but better late than never? 👀 I represent YA and adult across literary, upmarket, and speculative spaces, and am hungry to find my next obsession that I just can't put down! (1/4)

Hi Darling Axe, your interviews are great! But the only posts using the hashtag should come from the editors and agents themselves. (Also-- not a robot!) Thanks so much!

I would love a MG or YA set in fandom. Fanfiction, conventions, etc. the same vibe as Turning Red, where kids feel like kids with their obsessions #MSWL

My sweet spot as an acquiring editor at @lakedrivebooks.bsky.social is DV survivors from a religious context sharing their stories of escape, rebirth, and renewal. I'd also love a deconstructed parenting guide from a cycle breaker who survived James Dobson et al! #MSWL

"Time periods I like to read about: 1920s-present day. I don't read a lot of historical fiction older than that (like FOUR WINDS, OUR WOMAN IN MOSCOW, and Beatriz Williams in general)."
