Taj McCoy (she/her) Says Buy LOVE TIMES INFINITY!!

Instructions for querying are on my #MSWL page and in the second tweet of this thread. Once you have something ready and polished, feel free to send it in if you think we might be a good fit!

I'd love to see something for foodies on the non-fiction side. A cookbook, a narrative, a satirical piece. Something fresh that draws readers in. Also, on the empowerment side, something uplifting with strong takeaways for readers. #MSWL

On the kidlit side, I'm looking for lovable introverts, pride in culture and identity, angsty crushes, teachable moments, belonging, and emotional range. Hints of magic, family businesses, best friend groups, complicated home situations, and underdogs are welcome. #MSWL

And yes, give me romances and romcoms, but give me some substance outside of the romance itself––increase the stakes with external conflicts and complex side characters. #MSWL

I'd also really love to see a robust, dynamic love story (not necessarily a romance) that leaves me with all the feels as it plays out. I'd be really into a tear-jerker where the characters aren't just plotted to die at the end. #MSWL

I'd really love to see more family sagas with old secrets that unfold over time, mothers and daughters breaking cycles of generational trauma rather than perpetuating it, and something fresh and laugh-out-loud funny in terms of non-fiction narrative. #MSWL

Here are my recent #MSWL posts: twitter.com/tajmccoywrites…

It's #MSWL Day! Have you checked out the updated website? I posted a bunch of MSWL items recently, but you can always find my wishlist here: manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/taj-…

I am perpetually living the set-up beat of a romcom. It’s like Groundhog Day but with all the meet cutes you wish you’d never experienced…

I’m a good sport though, so if anyone has a proposal for a non-fiction humor book on dating where this is your issue, #MSWL.

So a WF that has this type of single status energy and best friend support is definitely on my #MSWL now, because these dating apps drag me for filth on a very regular basis, and my girls are always there to laugh at the foolery.

Yeah, I’m just gonna add this one too… the awkward chemistry, the cat and mouse of it all… I’m here for it. Which one is going to make a real move first? #MSWL

Y’all, I am opening to queries on Sunday! THIS Sunday!! I’ll be posting a full MSWL then, but I’m here for a MC who has the best of intentions but sometimes “falls” into these situations… 😅😂🫠

My #MSWL page is now live! Check this out if you'd like to learn more about what I'm looking for: manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/taj-…
