On Monday I open to queries again. And I'd like to see some books in which girls or women burn the patriarchy to the ground. #MSWL

9. And for more info please check out my Manuscript Wishlist page! It has my perennial interests. manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/sama… #mswl

8. As always, I'm interested in diverse, queer, own voices, and feminist narratives. #mswl

7. A girl and her dog book, but not too sad! #mswl

6. Two very different types of girls learning to appreciate each other and become best friends. #mswl

5. A mother/daughter relationship a la Gilmore Girls #mswl

4. #MSWL middle grade treasure hunt, or quest story, a bunch of kids looking for something special that will change their lives.

3. #MSWL Found families, especially in middle grade.

2. #MSWL Redemption arcs a la Zuko in Avatar The Last Airbender. His story is so compelling!

1. #MSWL Sweet high school Rom Coms. I can't get enough of these! Hate to love, best friends to lovers, geek with hot guy, best friend's older brother, fake dating--you name it, I want to see it. I also love when there is a family component.

Quest books #MSWL

I'd like to see some villains who may not really be villainous after all. #MSWL

In the mood for something super voicey in any of my genres. #mswl

#MSWL Enemies to friends to lovers.

But always evergreen, intersectional feminism #MSWL

Really in the mood for something similar to Blood Red Road by Moira Young. #MSWL

#MSWL Gritty survival stories.

I want submissions with strong women/girls, but strong doesn't necessarily mean "kickass" all the time. There are so many ways we show our strength--whether it be physical or mental. #MSWL

Did ya'll know that I love Kdramas? Some favorites are Boys over Flowers, You're Beautiful, 49 Days, Shining Inheritance, Coffee Prince, and Dream High (but I've enjoyed many others). Please send me anything in this vein #mswl
