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

Books featuring Jewish protagonists that aren't about the Holocaust. #MSWL

A ship like Captain Swan #MSWL

Something similar to My Big Fat Greek Wedding. Humor, big family, interesting traditions, etc. #MSWL

A political campaign book A La The West Wing. Hopeful, humorous, tense and a little romantic. Plz no Republicans. #MSWL

A rom-com set during (or after) the apocalypse. #MSWL

I'd love to rep a queer magical school book (or any magical school book). Would love to undo some of the harm done by She Who Must Not be Named. #MSWL

I'd love to see a fantasy rom-com or fantasy comedy. My favorite movie is The Princess Bride after all. #MSWL

I've been really in the mood for lyrical writing lately, especially in fantasy #MSWL
