Hey it's #MSWL Day! Great to have manuscriptwishlist.bsky.social here. What I'm looking for:

-YA thriller/low fantasy blends; think RIPLEY meets TUCK EVERLASTING.
-YA historical procedural. I want a teen ALIENIST.
-MG dark fantasy GNs. An 11 year old exorcist? Sure!
-Weird! Weird everything!

Just wrote this in a bio for @SCBWI and thought I’d share #MSWL ✌️

Me reading a query that promises a YA thriller, blending humor and horror, from a POC, and comps brand new media, and shows engagement with the convo within contemporary teen lit. #MSWL

To the #query writers, without whom we agents are NOTHING: my #MSWL contains #YA thrillers, eccentric and wild. Send away.

Twisty, absurdly funny, fast-paced psychological thrillers, with #ownvoices teen POC, attacking ideas of identity, paranoia, plunder. Think 'Ripley' meets 'Get Out.' #MSWL #YA

What you're hearing about #StrangerThings is completely true. Also, if any writers have a MG thriller, Goonies+@StephenKing+X-Files? #MSWL
