Would do backflips for a smart, funny, dark historical fiction centered on a 1950s or ‘60s beauty pageant #MSWL

Would love to see a funny, meta take on paranormal, like the movie Lost Boys #MSWL

Hey #amquerying authors! Here's what the BookEnds agents are dying to see in their inboxes. #MSWL twitter.com/bookendslit/st…I was late coming to the thread so I'll add mine in now. I'd like more books like Crazy Rich Asians. I'm in the mood for something funny and light. #diversebooks a plus or women's fiction. #amquerying #MSWL
I love how a funny book can operate in a kid's world. They're a pleasure to read - score one for reading. Plus, if I (the grown-up) get the joke, and the kid also gets the joke, that's a way of saying, hey, you're pretty smart, kid. Score many, many more for reading. #MSWL
I'm in awe of truly funny writing. It's harder than it seems, and I love seeing it work on the page. #MSWL

Though I'm known for my love of dark books, I also love light, funny YA and MG, including romcoms. #MSWL #WishlistWednesday

A few ideas we have (but by no means limited to):
-A light, funny love triangle
-Second-change romance featuring divorced mom with tweens/teens
-Military characters, firefighters, maybe an inspiring male teacher? #MSWL

I really want to see more rom-com's in my inbox! Smart, funny, with an emphasis on well developed characters. #mswl

My summer #mswl: mothers with secret lives; Midwest stories with a strong sense of place; character driven mysteries and thrillers (maybe starring mothers with secret lives); fish out of water narratives, both serious and funny (maybe with something Polish).

Adult Contemporary/Romance Writers! I would like to sign a project that reads like Bridget Jones/Crazy Rich Asians/The Hating GAme--funny, fast paced, and clued in to social questions. #MSWL

A #MSWL from me: I would really LOVE to receive some really smart, funny Contemporary YA submissions. Books that make you laugh AND think. Along the lines of, i.e.: "I BELIEVE IN A THING CALLED LOVE," or "WHEN DIMPLE MET RISHI," or "THE LAKE EFFECT."

I want more funny books in general. All ages, all genres. #mswl

"What We Do In the Shadows" Is Officially Coming to the United States With Series Order at FX themarysue.com/what-we-do-in-… pic.twitter.com/CFi3fqTPz2I want a vampire book that reads like this show. Funny, sweet, and from the POV of the vampire, *not the victim*--or at least not the victim alone. Another great example is BLOOD SUCKING FIENDS: A LOVE STORY by Christopher Moore. #MSWL
Wow, agent friends. I'm really tweeting you a lot, huh? But this is the cutest things I've ever heard of and I need it to be a smart, funny, pignant, nuanced YA novel so... #sorrynotsorry #mswl

I’ve been getting a lot of dark YA lately—which I love!—but I’m also interested in sweet, funny MG that may or may not make me cry #MSWL
Bridget Smith @bredalot · Apr 19
In MG & YA, I'm focusing on high-concept contemporary that's sweet, funny, and layered, the kind of book that deals with a couple different kinds of relationship including the MC's feelings about themselves. #MSWL

I love my YA contemporary list and still WANT MORE! Something a little offbeat, surreal, defffffinitely funny. Maybe surrounding a small thing/event that gets blown out of proportion/snowballs... Peculiar communities, histories... Maybe urban legends?? #MSWL

Gonna drop a few #MSWL tweets as I’ve been going through my queries this weekend (sorry if you’re still waiting on a response—I’m getting there!) and trying to listen to what my gut is craving. I’m focusing on MG and YA, so let’s get started:I would really love some character-driven YA fantasy that is both dark AND funny. Especially if there is a big eclectic cast and truly unique magic. Voicey characters but still high stakes and a world with details that awe, from city life to wildlife. #MSWL

I'm hoping to read some smart, funny, romantic YA stories soon. The ones that remind me of John Hughes movies. Writers, query me! I love young love. #MSWL
