Also, please, as ever: any "big think" nonfiction. I'm fascinated by investigative journalism (I loved DREAMLAND by Sam Quinones); tech, pop science, pop psychology, and anything with a feminist lens (currently reading GOOD AND MAD by Rebecca Traister & loving it). #MSWL

THE WANGS VS. THE WORLD; smart, female-driven speculative fiction (mobs a plus); gritty YA in the vein of SADIE or THE WALLS AROUND US #MSWL

It's January, which means it's cold & gray & I hate leaving the house, so send me your work to keep me company! #MSWL: would love a more literary thriller a la THE TWELVE LIVES OF SAMUEL HAWLEY or BARBED WIRE HEART; writing from marginalized writers a la THE LEAVERS or

My updated #MSWL is up! Find it here: manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/amy-… Would love more upmarket/literary fiction from women of color and, since we're approaching Halloween, things with a bit of spook to them.

I would just like this book right now, please #mswl twitter.com/GraceKendallLi…Actually, I would really just like any books featuring women of any age taking matters into their own hands and hunting down shitty men, so bring 'em on. #mswl

For any of you who have a Teen-Girl-Becomes-Serial-Killer-Who-Targets-Misogynists-with-Overwhelming-Success manuscript sitting on your hard drive, have your agent submit it to me in the morning, please and thank you. #mswlI would just like this book right now, please #mswl

So I finished THE POPPY WAR by @kuangrf over the weekend and...holy crap. It's INCREDIBLE. I am #MSWL'ing the heck out of this book and...ready to go add some more stunning adult fantasy like this to my TBR. Suggestions welcome!!

Also re: @SetItUpNetflix, I spent the whole movie being mad that Lucy Liu's character wasn't actually real because I've been looking for a badass lady sports journalist/writer for my list (and so has @sharongracepjs). #MSWL

just met a girl at a boxing class who told me she started boxing two weeks ago when she found out her boyfriend had been cheating on her with four girls. now, all five of the girls are friends and they box together.#MSWL (Also for @kierynziegler, I think)

#MSWL: crime families with a twist (in the vein of Holly Black’s CURSE WORKERS series).

Friday reminder that if you're curious about what I'm eagerly & actively looking for, to check out my #MSWL page: manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/amy-…
Amy Elizabeth @amylizbishop · 19 Apr 2018
Putting this out into the universe: actively looking for nonfiction proposals in the areas of historical narrative nonfiction, pop science/psychology, work that targets a millennial audience, & work that engages in discussions happening in the feminist & political spheres. #mswl

#MSWL: Gothic mystery/suspense a la ARROWOOD by Laura McHugh//old houses, family secrets, sisters, gorgeous setting.
Amy Elizabeth @amylizbishop · 22 Feb 2018
A lovely e-mail from @stephlystein got me thinking & so I'll share here for my #MSWL: "Teen girls hunting down killers: mood of 2018." (**women hunting down killers also works.)

Also, in the spirit of Halloween: #MSWL : witches. Contemporary witches, historical witches, I want more witch stories.
