-Romantasy with some spice (a few scenes), though I'm usually more comfortable with longing and angst than actual spice. Priority here for outside of Europe, queer, and BIPOC. #MSWL

-Queer stories in every genre I'm opening to. I've sold most of the queer stories on my list and would love to find more.

-I have several cozy fantasy/science fiction on my list already so I'm looking for diverse cozy SFF this time. I'd love a queer cozy or BIPOC cozy fantasy or science fiction with a great romance. I usually prefer romance secondary to plot, not the whole plot. #MSWL

-I'm still looking for a fantasy or science fiction with a murder mystery plot. Should be more traditional or cozy mystery rather than a dark, crime mystery. Something light and fun with a speculative fiction setting or element.

-I'm still open to finding more self-published authors in the Adult market (SFF, Romantasy, or Mystery) who want help exploiting their retained sub-rights. Audio rights being at the top of that list. #MSWL

Since I'm opening to more queries on Friday, I'm starting a list of what I'd really love to find. Last time I opened I did sign two clients who matched with my advertised wish list so sharing does work! #MSWL

I will be opening to queries on July 10th and am currently updating my #MSWL . Let me know if you find any typos: manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/michelle-hauck/

#MSWL Corrupt famous person actually receives justice. Justice not revenge.

A quick #MSWL of genres I'm keen to see. Cozy fantasy, Romantasy in YA and Adult, and Mystery from marginalized authors.

I am now open to queries! See below for the list of genres I am accepting at this time. Please check Storm's website for more information. QueryManager.com/MichelleHauck

But I will reopen to select YA genres as well. So it will be Adult SFF, Horror, and Mystery (not true crime). YA horror, thriller, and romance. No YA fantasy or science fiction or contemporary.

Happy to take questions for a little bit about my #MSWL . #askagent

I've replied to all queries and requested material. I should have my newest client on submission soon. So it's almost time to reopen to queries.

I'm leaning toward mainly reopening to Adult projects again this time. I have a lot of children's projects right now.

But, as always, I'm very open to finding something I feel strongly about. Often what I end up extending an offer on is outside of what I was expecting. Which means no #MSWL will ever be a perfect representation of all that I want.

I'm open to Graphic Novels for all age groups.

I'm open again to science fiction and horror, though still being extra picky there. I like my horror to have social commentary.

I'm open to all genres of YA and MG. Lately I've been drawn to YA Romance. I really need some MG Humor/Adventure for my list.

I'm hoping for cozy mystery set outside the US and/or diverse. I am open to all Adult Mystery now, but I prefer locked door, cozy, or more traditional mystery over crime stories.

As I'm opening to queries tomorrow, here's a short #MSWL on some specifics I hope to see.

I've been excited to read Romantasy (not spicy) and Cozy fantasy lately. I'm still interested in epic fantasy and any 2nd world fantasy.

I'll be opening to queries on August 9th! See my website or #MSWL for more info.

I'm ready for it! (Maybe)

I am officially open to queries! You can query using Query Manager at QueryManager.com/2011

I accept adult SFF, including horror, and adult cozy mystery.

I accept all genre of YA and MG.

I am not looking for PB, NF or graphic novels at this time.
