#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

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

Anything that can comp to any TV show written by Mindy Kaling #MSWL

Character focused ensemble casts with uplifting, earnest, funny plot lines like Ted Lasso or Our Flag Means Death. #MSWL

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

HEARTSTOPPER 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

Happy New Year! I reopened to queries on 1/1. As a refresher, here is a link to all of my past #MSWL Tweets. I am still actively hunting for all of these requests! mswishlist.com/agent/SWekstein #amquerying

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

I'm reopening to queries on Sunday, 8/1! Here's a link to every #MSWL Tweet I've ever made. mswishlist.com/agent/SWekstein They all still stand! For more details check out my profile: manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/sama…

I'd love to see a story featuring a protagonist that lives with unseen chronic pain. #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.

#MSWL A YA rom com based on this Tik Tok series (or with similar vibes to this larger friend group) vm.tiktok.com/ZMeD5MSAs/

On Monday, I reopen to queries! Here's a link with every #MSWL Tweet I've ever made. They all still stand! mswishlist.com/agent/SWekstein

I love a good hero/villain team-up to defeat a bigger bad. #MSWL
