I did a little #MSWL refresh. In addition to my forever loves MG and YA, I'm aggressively seeking occult nonfiction and Adult SFF and contemporary romance!

Hi! My #mswl is linked in my twitter profile and can be found here: manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/kell…

Right now I'm mostly repping Children's fiction, specifically YA and MG, with a few exceptions.

I want a really fresh, feminist, diverse YA take on THE ROBBER BRIDE #MSWL

Where oh where are our dumb hot jocks with hearts of gold?! #mswl

I know this story is at least a year old, but since that society scammer girl was recently found guilty it reminded me: I very much want a YA spin on this type of con. #mswl

YES! Please do justice to the Carrie Fisher character. #mswl

I'm still closed to queries, but just so you know for when I open back up, I'm on a serious conartist kick. Give me your liars, your card sharks, your stolen identities, your heists, your thieves, your most persuasive criminals. YA and maybe MG. #mswl

If you know me you also know I LOVE heists. Would especially love and all-girl heist book. YA or even MG! #mswl

I still really really want a YA Orphan Black. Sci-if in a near future, complicated girls and women, great character arcs, found family #mswl

I want witchy books in YA! Practical Magic, The Craft, The Graces. Something atmospheric and empowering. #mswl

I want a YA contemporary about a best friend breakup. Funny and poignant and of course bittersweet and sad. #mswl

This is amazing! A YA version is definite #mswl

Or features restaurants or bakeries, or home cooking. If you've got a food-heavy YA or MG in any genre, gimme! #mswl

I am still on the hunt for my ideal YA contemporary. Something with humor and heart, a great voice, and deeply personal stakes. #mswl

Also, YA Orphan Black is still very much on my #mswl so if you've got girls + science + suspense + queer romance + found family: gimme

I really love heist stories. I want YA w/ an all-girl team. Ocean's 11, Bringing Down the House, Six of Crows w/ diverse girls #MSWL

Witchy books in YA. The Craft. Practical Magic. Willow & Tara from Buffy. Contemporary or straight-up fantasy. #MSWL

A character arc that rivals that of Zuko in Avatar: The Last Airbender. YA or MG. #MSWL

YA with a diverse ensemble (each with a distinct voice) that has to come together to achieve a common goal. #MSWL

YA Orphan Black is a major #MSWL for me. Kickass, capable girls. Found family. Thought-provoking sff. Flawed people. Action and wit.
