This is the most obvious #MSWL ever, but...

I want books like To All The Boys I've Loved Before, in YA and Adult. This means:

--high concept
--romantic
--funny
--diverse!
--contemporary
--family B plots
--HEA

Let's do this!

When I open to queries again in September, I hope to continue receiving YA Fantasy (because I love it) but I also hope I see more

☻ Middle Grade Fantasy
☻ YA Contemporary
☻ Adult SFF
☻ Adult Psych Thrillers

#mswl

I'm also looking for upmarket YA Fantasy. I'm a sucker for thoughtful and elegant prose, and deep (not wide) worldbuilding that feels effortless despite it's intricacies. Contemp fantasy, second world fantasy, whatever--it's all great, as long as it sweeps me away. #mswl

In YA, I'm craving a high concept contemporary--that means you can pitch in easily b/c it has a HOOK. I love weird jobs, enemies to lovers, unique living situations, and high stakes. #mswl

I'd also love to see more MG Contemporary that showcases friendships, in particular m/f in which a crush isn't part of the plot. #mswl

I would love to see more Middle Grade in general, but I am particularly excited about contemporary fantasy (fantasy set in our world) and stories inspired by non-western cultures. #mswl

Adult Contemporary/Romance Writers! I would like to sign a project that reads like Bridget Jones/Crazy Rich Asians/The Hating GAme--funny, fast paced, and clued in to social questions. #MSWL

I love fantasy, but my inbox is crying out for contemporary/realistic fiction. #mswl

I would love to see more SFF MG and contemporary YA in my inbox. #MSWL

Unagented writers--I would love to find a YA Contemp set in freshman year of college. #mswl

I have a new #MSWL item--anything as gut wrenching and gorgeous as @rlynn_solomon's debut YA Contemporary YOU'LL MISS ME WHEN I'M GONE, which is out...TODAY! If you haven't read it yet, get thee to a book dispensary! chapters.indigo.ca/en-ca/books/pr…

I'm reopening to queries on 1/1/18! Here's my #MSWL: manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/laur…

I've said this before, but this video is perpetually on my YA Contemporary #MSWL 😍youtube.com/watch?v=IPfJnp…

Clarifying earlier tweet--I want anything and everything Middle Grade. Contemp, fantasy, sci-fi...you name it, I want to read it. #MSWL

A few #MSWL items on this lovely spring day...

* Middle Grade -- top of my wishlist!

* Diverse YA Contemp

* Literary Fantasy (all ages)

I'm in the mood for a multi-POV contemporary YA Fantasy a la THE RAVEN BOYS. Anyone? Bueller? #MSWL

I'm on the hunt for unique retellings. The Odyssey, Edgar Allen Poe, Faust, Shakespeare? Contemporary, SFF, Horror? I want it all! #MSWL

I would love to find a lush, magical YA contemporary fantasy with a unique female MC. It's going to be on my permanent #MSWL, I suspect.

MG/YA Contemp that pushes boundaries. Make me uncomfortable. Make me afraid. Make me cry. I want to hurt and hope in equal measure #MSWL

YA with the kind of lush worldbuilding found in THE RAVEN BOYS or SCORPIO RACES. Contemporary Fantasy or Magical Realism! #MSWL
