Hello! On Monday I reopen to queries. So, here's a link to every #MSWL Tweet I've ever made. All are still very much desired. mswishlist.com/agent/SWekstein

Books from Canadian authors, about Canadians, and/or set in Canada #MSWL

The @Barbie movie was incredible.

I’m high on women and oh my god, #MSWL stories about women.

And to authors: if you queried me in the past and I wasn’t the right fit at the time, but your book has gone through changes or you’ve adjusted your materials, please feel free to send it again. I can’t promise anything, but I know queries and pages change as much as I do

Something dark. Something speculative. Something testing and scary and creepy and thoughtful and bloody and romantic and ambitious and terrifying and mesmerizing.

YA and Middle Grade Fiction

Light-hearted, action adventure, character driven, coming of age books that can tackle big themes and doesn’t shy away from important topics. Books with romance but are romances. Thoughtful stories about character over spectacle.

Children’s Lit

Book with series potential that follow a play pattern, i.e. a format to follow with the story and remain invested: shipping wars, districts/factions/houses, mysteries, patterns that serve as a through line for the book, a calling card

Stories that follow the villain. Stories that convert the hero from good to bad. Stories that alter our belief systems of right and wrong. The villain gets the girl. The big bad is well and truly not moral. Fighting your oppressors. Enacting revenge. Not taking the high road.

Adult Fantasy

Villains being truly and genuinely villainous, romance at the forefront but politics at the core, family dynasties, high stakes adventure, historical dramas, highly aesthetic spaces, thoughtfully done ensemble casts with series potential. Give me more Fourth Wing
