I'd love to see MG books about growing up along the lines of Turning Red, or a layered family story like Encanto — contemporary or with a magical element! #MSWL

For Middle Grade, I'm looking for voicey books with a lot of heart, and primarily contemporary stories. I'm open to books in verse as well as prose.

These are some of my favorite recent MG books. #MSWL

Hello writers! As of today, I am open to queries again!

Please find my full manuscript wishlist on my website, and here is a brief thread about my current #MSWL.

I look forward to hearing from you!

“Narrative nonfiction about (pop) culture history, science, and nature topics.” @agentvicente #MSWL mariavicente.com/representation

I'd love to see more friendship stories in my inbox about women of color, in the vein of FIONA AND JANE by Jean Chen Ho! #MSWL

I love the Sunshine Vicram series with my whole dang heart. If you're working on a fun mystery like those books, please keep me in mind when you query. #mswl

#MSWL looking for unique structures. Send me your novel in verse or stories written through letters, emails, tapes, etc.

A spooky 👻 #MSWL item from @jenissamichelle!

"For MG, I'm looking for more on the spooky side: fast-paced with a main character that's easy to fall in love with & root for, or an antagonist/villian who's own journey can complement the plot"

"Crime fiction like Dennis Lehane." @CurtisPSLA #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

Here’s the thing: I read this as HORSE and now I want it. Bring me your YA horror novels with a huge haunted wild horse on an island. Like a Misty of Chincoteague meets RL stine. #MSWL

I would die for a character like the niece you described here! Gives me Starbutterfly vibes ❤️ which is a major #MSWL

“I love picture books about family traditions/cultural traditions, especially when there is food, cooking, baking, or recipes involved.” @adriamgoetz #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

“Gothic fiction with possibly a modern storyline, too (like THE LITTLE STRANGER by Sarah Waters).” @carlywatters #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

#MSWL

I would kill (not really) for a fresh take on a procedural novel series. Give me your unlikely duos. Your psychics. Your grouchy old timers. But in a new way. #MSWL

“Literary fiction that genre blends, commercial fiction that takes me somewhere unknown, and rom-coms that make me laugh and swoon.” @ericsmithrocks #MSWL ericsmithrocks.com/mswl

I'm marathoning every (good) Cinderella movie ever made with my baby girl today and it really, really makes me want a Cinderella retelling. Ever After's my fave & I'd especially vibe something realistic & historical like that but will look at anything you send me! #MSWL

“Psychological thrillers with new twists on classic tropes: unstable (or unhinged) narrators, missing memories or time, seemingly decent people with dark pasts, stalking, gaslighting in any form.” @claire_m_harris #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

Chatting with an editor today who I'd LOVE to work with, and who said that she wanted romcoms with dark, edgy, weirdness at the core.
ME TOO. SEND THEM TO US!! #MSWL

I love a book with a good dose of malicious compliance ❤️😉 #MSWL
