FYI: Queries read through 11/25. MSS to come. // Happy Thanksgiving! Peace! // #MSWL: all good things; ever-keen on representing a genie thriller, romance a la Rainbow Rowell, clever picture books, illustrators with visions, + more. // Closed. Until next updates.

@TessaofAvonlea called me today, + asked me to re-think a Twitter break, at least for the moment, so - after deep thought, in love with m'friends up high + above - I decided to this granted request you give: Today, a novel sold, perhaps, into more. Via Tessa: "Query W." #MSWL

(Queries remain open. #MSWL: Anything + everything goes, for where there is experience true written, there is consciousness of reality, + in reality, in consciousness of it, we become true acting persons. HW: Karol Wojtyla, THE ACTING PERSON, a genius + infinite of a man. Love!)

Okay, question for all ye genies: the best romance or women's fiction novels featuring partners with significant age differences? I'll take any (LOLITA, etc.), but I'm keen on something v. healthy, good, etc., especially where you have a female gifted + precocious. (Into: #MSWL.)

Oh, this, indeed — what an acute + perceiving glance can do for one who can take it, eh? +, perhaps, where love, wisdom, + good abound, be ever-changed by it… #puzzles #rom #romCom #mswl

Oooh, just saw this, with chills + goosebumps. HELLZ. YES. Mah kind of story. #MSWL || Ye good writers: Get me something gooood, or I'll skin ya alive.

Sitting down for the reading of #queries. Let's see what I can do in a few hours, eh? Watch me. #MSWL: manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/wero…. Anything + everything goes, as long as you are magical + genie, eh? Challenges, smiles, loves, delights, + more.

I don't know if "real hype" describes it, but I'd be v. happy to find some, were I lucky enough to receive. (#MSWL)

It's been 20 years since the release of 1 of my all-favorite movies, THE PRINCESS DIARIES, + I'm reminded of it again today: to never judge a book by its cover or a person by her shell. Mia became Lisbeth, + I'm #MSWL for a novel that transcends both, + helps victims take cover.

Yummy! {#MSWL: any novels dealing with any form of gifting, here clairvoyance} // Some days ago, en route to a gala in Minneapolis, I had a lovely conversation with a Kenyan Lyft driver about auras, minds, and hearts, and those things which people cannot about themselves see.

Some weeks ago, I had the joy of traveling to the UK for the first time, the home of the Inklings (Tolkien, Lewis, and more), and sat it for a brief lecture with an old friend, (now Dr.) E. David, who writes on questions of religion. {#MSWL: any and all genie academic work!}

It's been a few years since I've been logged in, given so many a good change on the WEJ and JLA ends, but just wanted to give a shout-out: this one is open to queries! Send me goodies anytime! janczuklit.com // #MSWL: literary-commercial YA, adult; non-fiction; -p-books!

Yes, please! I would take one of these, whether it's a romcom or not. Do I love #prideandprejudice-type stories, along the entire romance spectrum. #MSWL

I'm going onto 4+ years of agenting, + I'm still super hungry for a good thriller (I've never gone on submission with one), a good memoir (also never sub'd), + good women's fiction (also never really sub'd), along with gem YA + otherwise. Send along! Open to queries! #MSWL

Also this for me, in the strictly YA vein! #MSWL

Me too--especially the YA. I won't be representing MG anytime soon, it seems. #MSWL

And, finally, with regards to my #MSWL, as I prepare to re-open to queries: "The writer should never be ashamed of staring. There is nothing that does not require his attention." I love, love stories that capture this in terms of iconic, strong 1st person voices; observation.

Another lovely quote, from Flannery O'Connor: "Conviction without experience makes for harshness." #MSWL I'd love to find non-fiction that struggles deeply to internalize people's experiences before it comments on it--to do deeply ethnographic work, so as to prevent judgement.

I love this quote from Flannery O'Connor: "The truth does not change according to our ability to stomach it." I love, love, love stories that show what is true to people's lives + people's experiences. #MSWL Send me the next SULA or the next THE BRIEF, WONDROUS LIFE OF OSCAR WAO!

(As I plan to re-open to queries on 05/01--#MSWL--I'll definitely be looking for fantasy & sci-fi with super distinct voices that draws on, reflects on/contemplates, and comments on reality; fiction manifests our lives, our imaginations, + I love encountering people through it.)
