My Manuscript Wish List®

Hi!

I’m Kacie Newport, owner of BAM Management. BAM is a full service bi-coastal talent management company that reps both actors and authors.

If your work is bold, dark, and unapologetically real, I want to see it. I’m here for activism-driven books, particularly fat liberation, LGBTQ+ rights, and body diversity. I love female empowerment, body liberation, and queer stories—especially those centering queer women and bisexual individuals. Give me accessible activism, nothing overly academic or dense; I want work that speaks to people, not at them.

I thrive on experimental and strange projects, so if it’s pushing boundaries in a smart way, I’m in. That said, I’m not into anything graphic or faith-based.

I also love historical fiction, so send me new and exciting ways to look at the past. Give me women on the margins, queer threads through history and other outside of the box ideas.

When it comes to romance, dark and steamy is the only way I roll—nothing lighthearted or fluffy. I want queer, female-led romance or dark, brooding men. No tropes, no clichés—just raw, emotional, and intense storytelling. Please although I like it darker, I do not want anything pornographic. I don’t want to feel dirty

I’m also interested in graphic novels—but they need to be unique. If it’s quirky, darkly comedic, or unexpected, I’m here for it. Pop culture is on my radar too, but it has to be different and exciting.

I’m open to many voices but best suited for women, non-binary, trans, and other marginalized creators. When it comes to discussions of racial injustice, I’m especially looking for intersectionality with fat liberation or queer voices.

What I’m NOT a fit for:

❌ Conservative-leaning projects—I’m Team Bernie all the way.

❌ Traditional literary novels.

❌ Anything religious (unless it’s exposing how culty they are).

❌ Weak female characters or overused tropes.

If your work is bold, raw, and challenges the norm, I want it in my inbox.

Fun facts about me:

What I love: live music, camels, playing music, travel, perfume, duolingo (900 days rn), my husband, my mom (aka my road dog), traveling, my dog named Galadriel (iykyk), bjork, tattoos, art, sobriety, the color pink, fashion, reading (duh), writing (double-duh), Super Mario Bros. 3 & Tekken Tag, ice water, Thursdays, languages.

What I hate: mushrooms (believe me, I’ve tried), fascism.
