I would loooove a heist book. Contemporary or light spec preferred. 😍

Countdown #MSWL Day 5:

Stories with quieter/more personal stakes are my jam. I'm a sucker for getting lost in a character as they try to figure things out with themselves or those around them.

Also if you have a friendship breakup story please send that my way!!!!

Countdown #MSWL Day 4:

I love an ensemble cast. Whether they're solving a mystery, fighting off an enemy, or navigating their lives, these dynamics are huge for me.

I especially love seeing how every member of a group interacts/is affected by the other.

Latinx kidlit authors, please query me! I would love to see magical realism, stories around family dynamics, fantasies steeped in mythology.

Give me everything 😍

Countdown #MSWL Day 2:

Queer rep for days especially by authors of color.

I'd love a rom-com, a story that follows queer teens having to stick together, and stories where queer characters get a happy ending.

Megan Manzano ~ Reopening to Queries 10/05 @Megan_Manzano

Since I'll be reopening to queries on 10/05, here is my official manuscript wishlist that has been updated!

manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/mega…

However I did promise a thread of what I'm looking for so here we go!

Countdown #MSWL Day 1:
My list does skew towards YA so I'd love MG everything!

Particuarly stories that begin to explore identity and sexuality. Especially with first crushes.

Someone let me write a YA Jurassic Park tie-in about bored teen tour guides twitter.com/JurassicPark2g…

Okay, this is a huge #MSWL.

But also teens doing ridiculous stuff/developing crushes during their summer jobs or in an amusement park.

Sign me up.

Mia Mingus @miamingus

Wish we embraced falling in friendship love and the magic of friendship love in general. It really is such a magnificent, kindred soul-shifting experience that can manifest in so many wonderfully different ways. It truly deserves its own genre of art, movies/TV, writing, music.

This is a huge #MSWL for me!

If you have a book focused on friendship, whether it's the ride-or-die kind, the I'll fight to the ends of the earth for you kind, or the we grew up together and this is how we navigate change kind, send them to me when I reopen!

I'll be offended if I don't get a queer romcom in my box when I reopen.

Even more so if it's best friends to lovers!!!

When I reopen to queries, I hope to see kidlit stories by indigenous authors in my inbox.

I'd really love to see more MG, more queer rom coms, more contemporary fantasy or contemporary with spec elements.

It's been harder for me to get sucked into higher fantasy.
