In fantasy: Anything with a fairy tale at the root of the story is fair game but also any retelling of a classic story is my jam. From Shakespeare to Spielberg, I love stories that take familiar characters and upends their world and everything we thought we knew about them. #mswl

In mystery: My tastes here are pretty specific. To go back to my old friend, Taylor Swift, say you have a story that would comp to “Vigilante Shit” or “no body, no crime” then you’re 100% in my wheelhouse. #mswl
Literary Agent
In romance: All the grumpy-sunshine tropes. Seriously ALL OF THEM. If your couple comps to Roy-Keeley or Roy-Ted or whatever the f/f version of that would be, please send it to me. #mswl

It's #MSWLDay and I'm late to the party...but I've been in meetings ALL day, and hadn't had a chance to update my profile on the updated site. But I just did it and here is my link: manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/eva-…
I'll thread some highlights here too...#mswl

if anyone happens to have one of those exact projects filed away in a drawer somewhere 😆 please send it my way! submission guidelines are in my pinned tweet

5. YA historical fiction about teens involved in labor activism movements (like a fictionalized eliseo medina in the delano grape strike)
Editor
4. books about the dynamics of friendship groups—I’d love something YA or MG with the feel of NOW & THEN, but more diverse (Celia Pérez’ STRANGE BIRDS does this really well, eg)
Editor
3. tear-jerkers! I don’t love when trauma is deployed gratuitously (i hated that one aesthetics-of-🏳️🌈-suffering adult novel ppl argue about 👀), but that doesn’t mean I’m anti issues books! craving a hefty drama like ALL MY RAGE/WE DESERVE MONUMENTS/THE ASTONISHING COLOR OF AFTER
Editor
2. something like SLIDING DOORS but funny! (or perhaps what i’m wishing for is a YA or MG EEAAO). the two roads/what if thing is usually deployed in the context of loss or tragedy, but I’d devour a story where someone’s universe is split over something absurd
Editor
1. girls and nb folx who skate! does anyone else miss BETTY on hbo? I was gutted when it was canceled and keep thinking I’d love a bipoc YA or upper MG BETTY, a book about the challenges of hanging at the skate park as not-a-cis-guy 🛹

apparently it’s #mswl day! you can find my (too long and overly detailed) MSWL profile at the link below, but I thought in honor of the day, I’d do a list of five very specific things I’d love to work on…

Want to know who at Friedrich cries at commercials? Can cuss you out in Mandarin? Loves her French book club even though she can’t speak French? (Me. That last one is me.)
Well, check out our new and expanded bios below.

It's #mswl day!
I've been at @groveatlantic for nearly 10 months (😱) and I've been lucky to acquire some dream projects... but I'm not done!
I'm still looking for crime fiction/thrillers from authors looking to write a book every year(ish).

Since it’s a new year and I'm starting to (finally) catch up on fulls, I thought I'd tweet out a list of qualities I’m looking for in the books I take on, with some examples of faves that fit those categories. Unless otherwise stated, all of these apply to YA + MG only. 🧵Happy #MSWL Day! Here’s mine again:

"Seeking generational stories of parenthood and family with non-binary and/or trans characters in the commercial or historical adult fiction genre (ie. heavy with plot!)"

#MSWL 2. Cookbooks! I love cookbooks that concentrate on 1 central ingredient, those that make different cuisines accessible without sacrificing authenticity, & cookbooks that tie food to different aspects of life and lived experience. And yes, I am a garlic girl 🧄
