- I love love love classic fantasy, but I’m very easily bored by a basic sword and sorcery storylines. I want something strange and fairy tale-like, and I want to know the characters deeply.

- If I go for sci-fi, I’m more into specific vs expansive. Think The Echo Wife by Sarah Gailey, or Little Eyes by Samanta Schweblin.

- i really want some funny picture books with off-beat characters in the center! Think Olivia, Elephant and Piggy, Gaston, Pete The Cat, etc! Also, I’m big on slightly more adventurous art styles!

- Probably should have been my top one, but manga!! I love manga and read a lot of it! I know the genres and i love trying to break them. I’m not a big shounen traditionalist, i’m more into the “odder” series

- I adore horror, both supernatural and firmly stuck in reality. Especially if it’s a combo of horror and romance!

- I have an unironic love of disney channel original movies, and i love stories that are bravely cheesy

- Anything, and I mean anything, that could use the words “toxic queer romance” in its summary. The more depraved, the better. Give me the ugly emotions

Starting off a #MSWL thread!
Will add things as I think of them, but this is more of a scattershot collection of ideas.

Starting with- I’ve been really obsessed with reality tv lately! Especially about women! Would love fiction that uses reality tv, especially if it’s horrifying/tragic

Hi all, I am mostly on BlueSky these days (bsky.app/profile/esckeyes.bsky.social ). But I attempted to update my #MSWL page today. manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/emily-s-keyes/

#MSWL PLEASE

magical girls plz #mswl

#MSWL in the vein of Blink Twice

i think i'll wrap up here in terms of 'additions' to the #mswl !

as i said at the top of 🧵, this is not an exhaustive or exclusive wishlist, more a look into what's top of mind at this particular moment. if the vibes feel right, please reach out!! #amquerying

also, some honourable mentions from my 2024 reading year: THESE BURNING STARS by bethany jacobs, THE BONE SHARD DAUGHTER by andrea stewart, and NEVER BEEN BETTER by leanne toshiko simpson #mswl

before i wrap up, here are my top 10 reads of 2024 (minus books i've worked on 😔). these vibes are always welcome in my querybox!! #mswl

for romance in general, i love a genre blending moment, so send me your horroromance, mystery romance, etc

i tend to like my main characters & storylines with a bit of bite/kick, and i probably wouldn't be the best fit for things that are on the sweeter/wholesome side lol #mswl

on the romance side of things, i'm widening my #mswl to include historical romance, particularly from/about marginalized prespectives, especially if it's sapphic. think olivia waite, cat sebastian (i esp loved her bisexual disasters novel THE PERFECT CRIMES OF MARIAN HAYES), etc.

on the more serious side of things, i'm intrugued by stories where said sentient 'house' is connected to/reflecting on intergenerational trauma, anticolonial legacies, dark histories, etc.

for e.g. a darker, more f*cked up version of the ENCANTO house! #mswl

this has been on my #mswl for a couple of years: i want a sentient house!! 'house' in the loosest sense of the word. could be a forest, a lake, a shack, a room. a 'place' that f*cks with its inhabitants. doesn't need to be malicious, but i do love when it's a bit of an a**hole 😅
