I have an empty query inbox and an updated #MSWL page: manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/bren…. Can't wait to read great picture book, middle grade, + YA submissions.

Good morning Twitter! Today is #MSWL and I'll be posting my #MSWL in this thread for easy findings! Also, I promised an announcement as well. It's nothing too big (yet), but I think it's going to help. I will be closing my query box from October 1st-January 1st In order to

Also on my #MSWL - middle grade where illustrations play a big role, such as THE DOLDRUMS by Nicholas Gannon & THE INVENTION OF HUGO CABRET by Brian Selznick, and funny stuff like THE TAPPER TWINS GO TO WAR or DORK DIARIES.

#MSWL - to stay on the MG series plot, other examples of books I've have loved to work on: ARU SHAH AND THE END OF TIME, THE SERPENT'S KISS, NEVERMOOR.

#MSWL - I'd also love a puzzle-y middle grade series a la ESCAPE FROM MR. LEMONCELLO'S LIBRARY, MYSTERIOUS BENEDICT SOCIETY, or THE BLACKTHORN KEY (one of my favs for its perfect balance of humor and tension).

#MSWL - In MG, I will say I'd love, love to find a big middle grade series, something with heart & adventure. I'd love a sweeping MG fantasy-adventure, a new take on magical schools, or something high concept, high stakes, and FUN.

Happy #MSWL day! I am going to tweet some hopes and dreams for my inbox, but the headline is: YA & MG! If you're querying YA & MG fiction, I'd be thrilled to receive your submission. @ParkandFine's submissions guidelines are here: parkfine.com/get-in-touch/

I'm still accepting pitches for Adult SFF and Thrillers, although they're not at the top of my #MSWL

YA SF that I've never seen before. Twist an old trope or birth a whole new one. I'd love to see something fresh in YA SF. #MSWL

Adult and YA Historicals. Superb writing and vivid settings, whisk me away to the past (especially if it's NOT WW2)! #MSWL

Adult Romance please! Fun, heavy, light, dark, whatever. Slow burn to hot and spicy - it's all good. No erotica please. #MSWL

Adult and YA Horror that goes beyond your typical slasher. Gimme voice, unreliable narrators, and imaginative twists. #MSWL

Adult Mystery. Would love a cozy, or something light and cute. Nothing too bloody. #MSWL

I'd love to find two types of #middlegrade fiction: books ala Jason Reynolds and Margaret Finnegan's upcoming WE COULD BE HEROES. #mg
and books that make me laugh out loud, like Aaron Blabey, and fan favorites Wimpy Kid, Dog Man. #MSWL

Agreed #MSWL

Okay, up next is my #MSWL so that I can provide you with more books to love. Currently looking for female-centric romantic suspense, hilarious contemporary romances, flirty historicals, millennial anything, and urban fantasy (ya hate to see it)

I’d love to see more submissions for kidlit graphic novels. I’m open to text-only submissions, but I’m particularly interested in author-illustrators! #mswl

Oops! #MSWL Day is tomorrow!
Well, at least I’m on brand. I’m always the early bird! 😊🐥📚

Tomorrow is #MSWL day! And my wishlist is more of a wish-tome. As ever, my big focus is #MG and #YA, so if you've got something wonderful, weird, and/or exciting to share with kids and teens, watch this space!
