Contest is CLOSED! Thanks to those who entered! :)


Welcome to yet another one of our Mystery Agent contests! *dances*

For those of you who don't know what our Mystery Agent's interested/not interested in, here's a reminder.

Our Mystery Agent wants manuscripts for the following audiences: 

Middle Grade

Historical fantasy 
(fiction set in another country, time, place, and it can either be real or imagined)
Smart Middle Grade adventures
YA Romance
Books that challenge the reader intellectually and emotionally
Nonfiction 
(books that explore social issues relevant to women of all ages) 

Our Mystery Agent isn't looking for:
