OKAY @mswl listen up!!!! i am v hungry for literary and upmarket fiction set in SPACE. i’m not the right agent for hard sci fi, but i want to go exploring the galaxies via grounded speculative stories about what it really means to be a human, for small creatures such as we

yes! for me it’s so much about that era in time, where we are able to explore nuanced and complex themes without this massive existential threat hanging over it.

nicole cunningham @nicolecunningham.bsky.social · 08/03/2025
beautiful pitch! this is a call for literary fiction with a romantic element more than a romance, but when i’m in the market for new romance i’ll let bluesky know!

nicole cunningham @nicolecunningham.bsky.social · 08/03/2025
wait ALSO send me your literary/upmarket/book club novels set in the obama era. i want to explore themes of sexuality, housing, finances, family, identity, friendships within the warm embrace of a safer political moment #amquerying #mswl

great question! i tend to go for extremely grounded fantasy or speculative, but wouldn’t be the best agent for something very genre. what’s your one line pitch?

nicole cunningham @nicolecunningham.bsky.social · 08/03/2025
hm, maybe! what’s your one line pitch for it?
110
nicole cunningham @nicolecunningham.bsky.social · 08/03/2025
potentially! with the right concept, i could be in. i tend to prefer literary/upmarket novels with a romance as opposed to contemporary romance. i’d love to see your query in case it’s the right fit.
010
nicole cunningham @nicolecunningham.bsky.social · 08/03/2025
okay @bsky.app #amquerying community, send me your romantic literary novels! i am READY. give me that literary fiction with a gorgeous, moving, i’d die for this romance at its center. #mswl

I *really* want a billboard for THE ABORTION COMPANION on the stretch of highway between Kansas and Colorado where I grew up seeing a lot of anti-abortion billboards.
