Writers, this is NOT a bad time to query. If an agent is open, then go for it! (I’m open and hungry for new clients! Query me!) #mswl

I want a thriller set in a small space. Make me feel their claustrophobia. #mswl

Sarah Guan @Sarah_Guan

Cults of personality.

Historically & in fiction, villains who amass power via charisma, mass manipulation, & curated public personae are male. Non-male villains usually use psychological/emotional power on individuals (e.g. femmes fatales). I want this trope genderswapped!

Send me your female manipulators, your lady cult leaders, your femme masters of deception and villainy. #mswl

I'd love to find a dark fairy tale retelling in the vein of UPROOTED that plays with form/timeline/expectations. Looking for MG/YA/Adult! #mswl

Laura E. Weymouth @lauraeweymouth

Stranger Things and End of the F***ing World both had it

An unsettling background tone, as if whatever messed up stuff is happening was bound to, because middle class suburban life is a fantasy built on quicksand, or a featureless new build with murderous ghosts in the walls

Stephanie Stein @stephlystein

I turned 30 (!!!) last weekend, an occasion I'm seizing to share my #MSWL this year:
- sweeping YA romance
- ✨queer magic✨
- savvy, commercial MG fantasy
- joyful queer & POC stories
- & POC authors with something to say
- emotional contemporary MG
- cozy af graphic novels

Hi I’m calling to report a crime and that crime is @stephlystein stealing my #mswl

I would really like to find a 30-40k MG Fantasy. Something short and sweet and magical. #mswl

Lauren is open to queries! @laurenspieller

@Gabino_Iglesias Upmarket, smart, high stakes that go beyond “don’t die.” Get Out, Parasite are good movie comps, Lauren Beukes is a good book comp even though I know she’s not strictly horror, also Anita Ahlborn and Joe Hill. Honestly I just want something that grabs me and has something to SAY

#mswl: the horror & twisted spec fic I want to see in 2020

I reopen to queries on Monday 2/10/20! Here’s what I’m looking for: manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/laur… #mswl

Diana M. Pho 📚 @writersyndrome

I have some #MSWL asks floating that I'd love to see:

For young adult:

M. T. Anderson's Feed for the post-Instagram, post-TikTok generation

a YA version of The Wire (but with more funny bits and maybe an explosion or two).

a modern queer version of Ten Things I Hate about You

ellen @ellencormier

MG or YA speculative fiction that's as sharp, funny, and layered as #RussianDoll. Something that uses the speculative element to say something, not just as a cool hook #mswl

Send this to meeee! #mswl
