Happy New Year! As some of you noticed, I've reopened to queries. Here's a collection of all of my former #MSWL Tweets. Still actively looking for these! mswishlist.com/agent/SWekstein

#MSWL More cozy fantasy in the vein of THE HOUSE IN THE CERULEAN SEA.

And middle grade high fantasy too, especially featuring Queer or BIPOC main characters. #MSWL
Literary Agent
More high concept high fantasy in the YA space. I get a lot of plots that feel familiar and therefore unpitchable. I want something with a really strong hook. #MSWL
Literary Agent
Anything that can comp to any TV show written by Mindy Kaling #MSWL
Literary Agent
Character focused ensemble casts with uplifting, earnest, funny plot lines like Ted Lasso or Our Flag Means Death. #MSWL
Literary Agent
An adult rom com set on a show similar to The Ultimatum, Love is Blind or The Circle. #MSWL

I'd love to see more books featuring joy from marginalized creators. #MSWL

Hello! I'm still working my way through my queries and requested material, but I'm reopening to new queries on Sunday 5/1! So here's a little #MSWL thread, and of course all of my previous requests still stand: mswishlist.com/agent/SWeksteinHEARTSTOPPER gave me butterflies the whole way through, so I'd love to see something in this vein in YA. #MSWL

Just read an article in the NYT about humor and Judaism and it made me think about how badly I'd like to see a Jewish Rom Com in the vein of My Big Fat Greek Wedding with a big Jewish family, lots of humor, and the concept of welcoming an outsider into a new culture. #MSWL

If you can comp your book to Yellowjackets, please send it to me! #MSWL

Normalize not connecting villains with being fat. Fat is neutral. It is neither good or bad. Why is fatness so often coded as greed in books??? Anyway, this is my plea once again for some rad fat protagonists. #MSWL

My favorite reality show, The Challenge, returns tonight. And I've been thinking about how much I want a strategic, athletic, game show romance with all of the drama, all of the stunts and endurance, all of the conniving, backstabbing, strategizing, etc. #MSWL

#MSWL I've been craving really romantic second world fantasy, especially after seeing someone post about it this past weekend. Please immerse me in your lush worlds and make me swoon.
