Another dream book for me would be something similar to YELLOWJACKETS. That show rocked my world. #MSWL

I’m the biggest Libba Bray fan! I would love to see YA manuscripts in my inbox that felt similar to her books - like Going Bovine, Beauty Queens, the Diviners. #MSWL

I’d also really love to find more LGBTQ sports romance #MSWL

Top of my #MSWL : cozy romantasy! I love it and simply cannot get enough. Witches, vampires, werewolves, and a heaping of romance = 😍❤️‍🔥📚

Hi #querying #booksky authors! I’m a literary agent always looking to fall in love with new manuscripts. Here is my current #MSWL : www.btaylorbooks.com/mswl

I've responded to (almost) all the submissions & queries in my inbox, so I'm going to drop my #MSWL for any querying writers! manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/bren… And for a sampling of the type of books I fall in love with: publishersmarketplace.com/members/brentt…

Have been thinking a lot about how one of my biggest #MSWL items is YA about teens who don’t go to college. I never went to college, and it was such an emotionally fraught thing for me when I was 17/18. If you have a MS like this, please send it to me!!

I have an empty query inbox and an updated #MSWL page: manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/bren…. Can't wait to read great picture book, middle grade, + YA submissions.

If the soundtrack to your unpublished YA manuscript is @taylorswift13’s Lover, then I WANT SO SEE IT!! #MSWL

I'm seeing a lot of adult fiction in my submissions inbox. Reminder that I am only looking at kid lit these days. Please query your adult projects to my phenomenal colleague @AmeliaLAppel! Her #MSWL: manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/amel…

#MSWL a picture book about an endearing mosquito that doesn’t understand why everyone is always swatting it. I’m being dead serious who is writing this for me.

I'd love to see more non-fiction in all young reader categories: picture books, MG, YA, heavily illustrated and graphic projects. #MSWL

One of my favorite novels I've ever read is BUT I LOVE HIM by @MandyHubbard and I would love to see similar/comparative titles in my inbox. #MSWL

Top of my #MSWL is a literary middle grade mystery with high stakes, middle grade and YA graphic novels, author-illustrated picture books, a YA novel told in reverse chronological order.

Just read JULIÁN IS A MERMAID by Jessica Love and my jaw is still on the floor. The art, the dialogue, the sheer magic and beauty and love and life in this story. I want picture books like this! #MSWL

Top of my #MSWL at the moment: middle grade with an authentic and rich Southern voice.

The weekend is here! Writers: send me AMAZING queries for picture books, middle grade, and YA to read first thing Monday morning! manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/bren… #MSWL

Waiting on someone to write and send me a breathtaking YA short story collection (not an anthology) that I can read and fall in love with and sell for a million bucks #MSWL

Things I love and would love to see in my submissions inbox: unicorns, mermaids, witches, vampires, fairies, werewolves, pegasi (is that the official plural?). #MSWL

Slowing catching up on queries/submissions. Here's my start-of-the-year #MSWL: tmblr.co/ZK4Vyj1-7KD4G
