#YA Female friendship stories. Complicated end of friendships, not because something dramatic happened, but because people grow apart. We have all lost that person we consider our
best friend. I want to feel it. (It doesn't have to be the full story.) #MSWL

#adult Going back to the Quinceanera post that I retweeted earlier, I'd also love to see this done with a bat mitzvah. Having a bat mitzvah at 12/13 is very different than having one at 30. But, I just want my fun Jewish stories. #hotmitzvah #MSWL

I'd also love something like this. I really love food, I love cooking, and I love characters who do, too. #MSWL

Oh my god, YES, PLEASE. One of my favorite things about While You Were Sleeping is how close Lucy got to the Callaghan family (and Saul). I'm always looking for a story where someone is "taken in" and loved by a family not their own #MSWL

#nonfiction: Cookbooks. If you have a following online, if you have receipes that are different, I'd love to see it. I'd like it to have a theme running through it and stories that accompany each recipe. #MSWL

#Adult: SERIAL KILLERS. I mention this one a lot. I'd love to see a female serial killer, but I'm not picky. Cat and mouse games. The psychology of a killer. The seemingly normal life that they lead. #MSWL

#YA: Summer jobs. I'll take any fun summer job, but I'm always partial to camp. I spent my entire childhood at day camp & sleep away camp, then worked at the same day camp. Camp was so ridiculous I worked in SKIING. Yes. Skiing. At summer camp. So send me fun summer stories #MSWL

Domestic suspense, filled with twists and turns. I read so much and watch a lot of TV shows that it's hard to shock me. So, surprise me. Keep me guessing until the very end. #MSWL

#nonfiction: True Crime. Nothing relating to the mob or money laundering or the military, but I'd love to see books about killers and cults. #MSWL

#nonfiction: Pop Culture. I worked in entertainment for 8 years and it will always have a huge piece of my heart. Especially looking for something about TV. (History of a TV show, behind the scenes...) But hit me with your PC books. #MSWL

I'm going for an #adult author comp this time around. I'd love the kind of books that Jill Santopolo writes. Heartbreaking, humerous, and incredibly relatable. Also, I would love to see NYC as a character. Teach me about places in a city I live in. #MSWL

THIS. Send me some Jewish lit, please. #MSWL

YA mystery/thriller in the vein of ONE OF US IS LYING, TWO CAN KEEP A SECRET, or THE CHEERLEADERS. #MSWL

YA/ADULT: Fanfiction/Fandom. The way people can meet online and tell secrets they'd tell no one else. The jealousy that can come from someone being popular or getting more reviews. People falling in love. Snippets of fanfic. The freaking DRAMA. (Comp: FANGIRL) #MSWL

Skipping over to YA for the moment: A book that shines a light on rape culture and the injustices of it. It's not something to be
silent about, and yet with the consequences that can come along with it, so many people are.(Comp: SPEAK; EXIT, PURSUED BY A BEAR) #MSWL

If this isn't the dream manuscript, then what is? #MSWL

More ADULT: Child psychopaths, along the lines of BABY TEETH, THE BAD SEED or THE GOOD SON.
What happens when a good family is stuck with a child who has no empathy whatsoever? #MSWL

First up in ADULT: Gimme all the rom-coms. I'm not just looking for romance. I want to laugh. I want to fall in love. Think THE HATING GAME or THE PROPOSAL (the Sandra Bullock movie). #MSWL

Signing off of #pitmad for the day. I’ve managed to ❤️ a bunch of YA, but I’m also desperately looking for adult. If you have an adult thriller or mystery or something I’ve mentioned on #MSWL please query me. Serial killers. No supernatural. Longer book wishes coming on #MSWL day

OH MY GOD, YES!!!!! #MSWL
