My full #mswl can be found on the agency website but here’s what I’m especially looking for in 2023:

—Adult + YA RomCom that are FUNNY AF *or/and* Adult Romance w a magic/spec twist
—Suspense/Thrillers (we need more queer and POC rep in this category!)
—MG Fantasy! All kinds!

I adore Adult Fantasy like THE ROOK and HENCH. Funny, trope twisting, smart, and that shows the mundane side of something fantastic and the fantastic side of something mundane. I’d love to see more of it in my inbox. #mswl

And finally...

5. MG with a Big Hook! I like funny books and magical books and sad books and creepy books. In other words, I'm open to any genre, as long as it has a fun, snappy premise that'll get a kid's attention!

Send this to meeee! #mswl

Funny fantasy. I want it. #mswl

Writers, I have a few kidlit #mswl items I'd love to see in 2019!

-funny, contemp YA a la WHEN DIMPLE MET RISHI, HOT DOG GIRL, HERETICS ANONYMOUS

-LatinX characters! Please!

-Grounded dark fantasy, a la SAWKILL GIRLS, THE DEVOURING GRAY, THE RAVEN BOYS

High concept, diverse, FUNNY YA Contemporary. PLEASE! #mswl

Funny books, for readers of all ages. I’m not super into corny jokes/poop humor, but everything else? Bring it. #mswl

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!

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 want more funny books in general. All ages, all genres. #mswl

I want a vampire book that reads like this show. Funny, sweet, and from the POV of the vampire, *not the victim*--or at least not the victim alone. Another great example is BLOOD SUCKING FIENDS: A LOVE STORY by Christopher Moore. #MSWL

I'm opening to queries again on 1/1/18. Here's what's at the top of my #MSWL for early 2018:

- high concept MG + YA
- #ownvoices projects in all categories
- funny female MCs
-a voicey, genre-bending Adult SFF series

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

I *need* a funny YA or Adult project. Not a humor book, just something wry, clever, or better yet--hilarious! #MSWL

I’d like to find a YA that shows what it’s like finding love after heartbreak. Bonus points if it’s funny. #MSWL

Smart and funny = sexy. More funny nerds, please. #MSWL 🤓

#MSWL: funny YA set in a Medieval Times-like restaurant. Give me performer hierarchy drama, kitchen secrets, and a love story to swoon over.

If you have a funny YA or Adult space opera, then for the love of all that is holy and good, send it to me! #SFFPit #MSWL

I want more funny books! Funny MG, funny YA! FUNNY ADULT! #mswl
