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

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

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If the soundtrack to your unpublished YA manuscript is @taylorswift13’s Lover, then I WANT SO SEE IT!!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'd love to see more non-fiction in all young reader categories: picture books, MG, YA, heavily illustrated and graphic projects. #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.

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

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

I blogged about my 2016 #MSWL! See what types of manuscripts I'm looking for as we head into the new year: tmblr.co/ZK4Vyj1-7KD4G
