Okay that is a good start and if I think of anything else I will add it to this thread
One more thing to note is that: trans women are women, and if that statement upsets you it's okay not to query me. #MSWL

I love the "chosen one who just wants to be a normal guy (gender neutral)" trope, and would love to see new takes on it! #mswl

Remember that I only accept queries through my Query Manager. Any email queries will be deleted. #MSWL

I'd like to see quirky horror and more serious horror. Think social commentary rather than slasher. Horror with romance--though everyone is looking for that. Feminist horror. Folk lore horror. #MSWL

Finally, in YA, my eyes are peeled for anything sweeping, epic, and emotional that *feels* like the Your Name soundtrack *sounds* (full of nostalgia+yearning), especially with a speculative twist!! #MSWL

In YA, I'd love to see comtemporary paranormal romances and mysteries from fresh, underrepresented perspectives à la CEMETERY BOYS, IF I HAVE TO BE HAUNTED, and THESE DEADLY PROPHECIES. Please give me vampires, witches, ghosts, zombies, etc. especially from a unique cultural lens! #MSWL

In middle grade, my eyes are open for accessible, innovative, highly illustrated stories (not necessarily graphic novels) in the vein of READ AT YOUR OWN RISK by Remy Lai or throwbacks like AMAZING DAYS OF ABBY HAYES #MSWL

For picture books, I'm always looking for celebrations of identity like THE TRUTH ABOUT DRAGONS and stories that capture universal emotions through culturally specific experiences like BE CAREFUL, XIAO XIN! #MSWL

Happy #MSWL Day! I acquire everything from picture books to YA, including graphic novels. Behold the thread below for some MSWL items I am hoping, praying, begging, asking very nicely for 👀🥺🎉

Check out my #MSWL here: manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/si..., and submission guidelines here: inkwellmanagement.com/contact/! no ai stuff pls.

One thing to know about me is that I'm NOT into toxic romances. Lots of people love them, and I'm not here to rain on anyone's parade, they just AREN'T the best match for me. #MSWL

I would love a book with a Día de los Muertos connection #MSWL

I'm still searching for a mystery ala CLUE--quirky, funny, with murder. #MSWL

I absolutely would love to see more #LGBTQ + stories in my queries next week. I like vegan characters. I'm not a fan of time travel stories or stories with circus settings. #MSWL

I'll be watching for stories where a group of found family bands together to take down elite oppressors. #MSWL

I would love some mysteries and/or thrillers with twists that will leave me breathless (BUT they have to make sense!) I ask for a synopsis and I expect spoilers because I LOVE to see the dominoes being set up on the page! #MSWL

I love a story that challenges the way people think in non-didactic ways. #MSWL

I'd love to see more cozy fantasy and science fiction with romance. Sweet or medium spicy is good for me. I tend to prefer fantasy-forward rather than romance-forward so sightly more emphasis on the fantasy plot. #MSWL

Just a quick anti- #MSWL

No chosen ones - I want regular people being heroes, stepping up

Not really into fae - it's not an absolute no, but a general preference

Also not really into non humanoid aliens. This is off trend, I know, but it doesn't really hit for me.

#MSWL day

You might be noticing a trend - I want to feel things and process things through other worlds and magics. I like catharsis, but more than that I like people banding together to take on evil things and tear it down to *build something new*

The world may be broken, but hope is not crazy.
