Kaitlyn Sedai 🌙 @BooksPlusWine

give me more fantasy books with protagonists in their 30s, 40s and 50s. I want the world weary knight who has back spasms and calf cramps. Give me more badass mothers with rich stories. I want to know how they pay their taxes and who checks in on their homes when adventuring.

Since I'm preparing a new #MSWL thread for 2022 I thought I'd ask: writers, what helpful information would you like agents to include in their wish-lists? Anything that you'd rather NOT be included? #WritingCommunity

Big changes in 2022. Along with my writing (under pen name), I'm now an agent with @blueridgeagency #MSWL blueridgeagency.com/LeslieTruex.ht…

I've nearly met my reading challenge for the year, and these are my favorite reads of 2021 so far. I would love to see books like these in my inbox! #MSWL pic.twitter.com/qXxDHLlnrV

Now that we've reached the end of the year, these are four more books I loved this year. #MSWL twitter.com/rleskildsen/st…

I updated my website for 2022. New About page, lots of small changes, and a simplified MSWL without all the specific callouts. I do link to my twitter #MSWL thread, though, where you can still check them all out. And I'll be reopening to queries mid-Jan!✨ erniechiara.com/mswl

In 2022 normalize BIPOC authors writing what we want. Let us write weird stories. Soft stories. Gritty stories. Funny ones.
Let us write from our infinite, individual diversities without being told what we write is “too much” or “not enough” of who we are.

#WritingCommunity #writers have you self-published a nonfiction book and would like to work with a publisher? My #mswl is for a nonfiction title in memoire, DIY, Self-help, travel, mental health awareness, LGBTQ+, and underrepresented minorities! Query lstevens@edicionesurano.com

Why aren’t more people talking about The Sex Lives of College Girls???? When I re-open to queries on January 4th I am looking for comps to this BIG TIME! #MSWL

are there any books that give the vibes of #DontLookUp ? if not, #MSWL

· 26 Dec 2021

I'm a huge Twin Peaks fan and I'm absolutely updating my #MSWL to include anything that has those same weird-as-a-compliment, woodsy, secretive vibes. Even better if it navigates all that horror from a female perspective.

I'm not typically a friends-to-lovers reader, but that moment when the friend gets jealous and grumpy of a potential love interest and starts being overly affectionate toward the protagonist? PERFECTION.

Yes, agreed! #MSWL adult or YA (Agented only)

I hope this email finds you peacefully working as a lighthouse keeper in a sleepy seaside town and investigating village mysteries with a little orange cat as a companion

#MSWL for middle grade

My #MSWL has been updated. It is password protected for agents b/c I was getting unsolicited submissions otherwise (sorry!): manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/naom…

I'm looking forward to seeing new submissions in my inbox in 2022!

Agents: If anyone has a winter solstice-themed picture book manuscript ready, I'd love to see it in the new year...

SOMETHING I’VE NOTICED — a tiny rant. A lot of PB art portrays grandparents as oh-so-very old. Canes and pure white hair and sit-on-the-porch-and-rock old. 1/4

Yes, always looking for healthy grandparents and still kicking great grandparents 💪 #MSWL

Finally, I adore reading retellings of classics and fairytales, and I would love to rep them, too! Bring me your takes on Jane Austen, Hans Christian Andersen, Shakespeare, Edgar Allan Poe, and (need I say it) Wonderland. Anything you can think of! #MSWL

The next HELLO GIRLS remains on the top of my #MSWL, but as I consider endless, emotional, meaningful platonic love and the types of female friendships that are ride or die in the way my own have been—especially as teens, in high school, in YA—let's add BOOKSMART as an example.

I cannot and do not have enough stories about tight-knit female friends. I don't care what they're doing or what genre they're in as long as they're together, rejecting all the expectations put on young women, and refusing to be separated. #MSWL

Haley Casey @Haley_J_Casey

Today's #MSWL is a heist story. Young adult (like SIX OF CROWS) or adult (like MONEY HEIST), or even MG (for which I can't think of an example)—I want to see the mastermind behind the planning, the action, the drama, the romance that blossoms with danger around every turn!

Please, somebody, send me a rollicking multi-POV adventure for YA and MG! I want a journey, a heist, a cast of characters who each bring a unique voice and talent to the table! Make it dark, or make it break conventional tropes, but send it my way! #MSWL
