Looking for more high concept, diverse, adult rom-coms! Must be funny. Must have a good hook. #MSWL

This pandemic is hitting all of us differently on an emotional level, I know, but it's kind of making me crave stories about people worse off than we are... Does this make me a bad person?

Even so, I'd love to see more apocalyptic survival stories in my submissions box! #mswl

Agents, we are still taking submissions! We are slower than usual, but we will get caught up! We really should have a #MSWL but for now you will just have to toss your authors at us in this raging cagefight that is our submissions pit.

#MSWL I'm always looking for nonfiction on bees. History of bees. Beekeeping. Beekeeper fashion. Honey recipes. Art featuring bees. You get the picture. ;)

Very specific #MSWL from an OV author: this thread about theater, same-sex relationships, and imperial Chinese politics

“I particularly enjoy nonfiction books in the following categories: pop culture, science, design, and lifestyle.” @msmariavicente #MSWL mariavicente.com/representation

#MSWL GNs that:
-play with myths, magic, the elements
-have strong female characters
-feature heartwarming story arcs
-have a strong use of color
In short, if you have a GN, pitch me!

This sounds like the beginnings of a book that I would love to read #mswl

#mswl this entire @PublishersWkly article highlighting mental health, #metoo and graphic memoirs in MG:

Today is brought to you by the thesaurus, which reminded me of the word "fussbudget." I would like to read a romance novel featuring a fussbudget hero, please. (And, obviously, the person who undoes him.) #mswl

in seriousness, would love

-FUNNY stuff
-larger-than-life narrative voice
-MG fantasy series
-character ensembles
-YA after high school about teens not going to college
-family stories
-something that feels like a bottle episode

#mswl

#MSWL I would love to read more YA non-fiction graphic novels that:
-showcase proactive groups of people (think GIRLS WHO RUN THE WORLD)
-deal with serious topics (reproductive rights, loss, mental illness, etc.) in a positive way (can be fiction too)
-are inspiring memoirs

#MSWL - books where the setting & premise are woven together. A rambling hotel or estate (I'm looking at you, @EBain!), a small town with secrets, a cruise ship, a sprawling library, a museum (would love a MIXED UP FILES or a NIGHT AT THE MUSEUM type book) etc.

#MSWL - middle grade exploring crushes, loves, and heartbreak. My heart was pretty much constantly being broken in 6th grade. Let’s talk about it.

#MSWL - YA rom coms and love stories!

#MSWL - vampires, werewolves, oh my! I’d love some great paranormal, something sweeping and wonderful, or something exploring the every day angst of being a teenager. I’m ready for it!

#MSWL - Anything that feels high concept and cinematic in YA, whether it’s sci-fi, fantasy, or contemporary with a speculative twist. Stories with big “what if” premises.

#MSWL - Smart, commercial YA thrillers & mysteries! Think Tiffany Jackson, Karen McManus, E. Lockhart. Also, YA horror! I’d love something like MISS PEREGRINE’S HOME FOR PECULIAR CHILDREN, with a good speculative twist.

#MSWL - middle grade or YA graphic novel series, whether contemporary, contemporary with a twist of magic, or fantasy. Especially would love to find a great contemporary series with a great concept.
