If you're voting for Trump, please don't query me. It's nothing personal--I just think you're an immoral, selfish monster :) #mswl

Ditto tho #mswl

Set a book here, please. #mswl

Writers! I am craving adult books. Send me your contemporary romance + romcoms, your suspense and thrillers, your horror + SFF, and your non-fic as long as it has a platform! I’m also very interested in reading genre bending books, so send those too! #mswl

Thinking about how great THE MONSTRUMOLOGIST is, and how I want MG horror that takes kids as seriously as that book does. #mswl

Hi. #mswl

#mswl

#MSWL!

I’m really looking forward to #KidLitGN! I’ll be looking for MG + YA graphic novels from authors and author/illustrators. I love realism and magic and science and horror—I love it all! I’m also particularly keen to find projects from diverse creators! #mswl

Omg yes 👀 #mswl

I’m still waiting on my heist book. #mswl

Oh my goodness I didn't know this was happening! I am *so* in. #KidLitGN #GraphicNovels #mswl

I would like to read a YA RomCom set in the time of corona. You have to make it work while still having them behave safely (masks! 6ft apart!). Anybody working on this? #mswl

A female character who is Like Other Girls. #mswl

WAIT! I forgot something that I am absolutely craving: graphic novels for MG + YA!!!!! #gn #mswl

Aaaand that's a wrap on my top 5 wishlist items for the rest of 2020!

But remember, these aren't the ONLY things I'm looking for. For my FULL wishlist, check out this link: see manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/laur… for my full wishlist)

I can't wait to hear from you!! #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!

4. LatinX representation in kidlit- all ages, all genres, though I am particularly interested in finding a YA contemp & a MG fantasy! A few favorites: @LauraTNamey, @Nina_Writes, @acevedowrites, @djolder, and @CeliaCPerez. (You should be reading *all* of them!)

3. RomCom - Adult or YA. I want laugh out loud, swoony, sexy, joyful reads. I loved RWRB and The Hating Game on the Adult side, To All the Boys and Gentleman's Guide on the YA side. But really, I'm happy to read anything that's truly Rom AND Com. #mswl

2. Adult thrillers/suspense: I like stories w/ top notch characterization + a slow burn, and also stories that are gripping page turners that I finish in one sitting. A few favorites: Ruth Ware, Rhiannon Navin, Wendy Heard, Gillian Flynn, Danya Kukafka, Oyinkan Braithwaite #mswl
