I'm dying to find more accessible adult sci-fi and fantasy novels, along the lines of @ChuckWendig @pengshepherd @DelilahSDawson and @KatWithSword.
I've read everything they've written, and would love to find a SFF novel that makes me feel like The Book of M. #MSWL

Also putting it out there that I'm 3000% weak for slow burn relationships (romantic and non-romantic) as well as best friends to lovers.

YA contemporary: I donβt want good girls, nice girls, nice kids. I want kids with buried secrets and selfish truths. Ones that try their best to be good but falter and make the wrong choices. Dark tone, snarky but not the shitty kind of egotistical wittiness. #mswlThis. ALLLLLLLLLLLL of this. ππππ #MSWL

Done with lunch and have to leave Twitter now, but I'll leave you with this last #MSWL: an EPIC star-crossed love story! Can be enemies-to-lovers (think CRIER'S WAR or SERPENT & DOVE), kept-apart-by-circumstances, or just... slow-burning mutual pining because Feelings Are Hard

Graphic Novels. Especially middle grade and YA. #MSWL

Iβd love to see some horror but more psychological, ghosts, family secrets ala The Haunting of Hill House. YA or A. #MSWL

As always, I'm looking for YA across all genres.
I'm especially looking for LGBTQ+ reads and smart horror.
See (and buy!) the collected works of @Kim_Liggett @tomryanauthor and @AdamSilvera for great comps. #MSWL

RomComs! More RomComs. But new twists on the meet cute and /or enemies to lovers trope. #MSWL

Also give me more sports books! Especially queer ones! With literary writing and imagery and beautiful characters. But also nothing gets my heart racing like the seconds ticking down at the end of a game (any type of game!) and genuinely not being sure of the outcome #MSWL

Oh it's #MSWL day! Here's my page: manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/daniβ¦
Right now, I'm particularly looking for novels set in the workplace; I'd love something that grapples with climate and ecology; a quirky hook; a plot that brings disparate threads together in a clever way...
Literary Agent
I'm looking for genre-blending literary fiction, stories that give us something magical or speculative alongside prose that stirs up FEELINGS.
Perfect examples: The Night Circus by @erinmorgenstern, Here & Now & Then by @mikechenwriter, Station Eleven by @EmilyMandel. #MSWL

@molly_cusick Retellings - Give me your obscure or different retellings where the princess saves the prince (or the other princess π) where it's clear it's a retelling but at the same time completely unique (like Cinder) #MSWL pic.twitter.com/iQRdulHHNQHard same - #MSWL @zandasanchez

Complicated or toxic friendships YA or A, contemporary or historical. Even fantasy. If your comp is The Favourite Iβd love to see it. #mswl

Speaking of which, if anyone sends me a YA that feels like HBO's GENTLEMAN JACK, it's possible I'll die of happiness #MSWL
Editor
Would also still love some fun, swashbuckly, queer/feminist/all of the above YA historical fiction (with or without magic) #MSWL
Editor
If I cry, I buy. Happy tears, sad tears -- I want all the feels. Send me your tear-jerkers! #mswl
