MG or YA Coming of Age Graphic Novel. Draw me a world with realistic, flawed, lovable, funny characters following their dreams. The next “Malcolm Kid and the Perfect Song.” Sub link in profile #MSWL #GraphicNovel #KidLit

...
* Grounded fantasy / Sci-fi - "grounded" being the key word here
* Stories with surprising twists that connect to character motivation - not a twist for the twist's sake
* I'd still love something in the vein of the movie Sugar and Spice - if you haven't seen it, you should
... (#MSWL)

In Historical Fiction, I'd love to see a pair or group of unlikely female companions, like Kate Quinn’s The Briar Club or Maurice Carlos Ruffin’s The American Daughters, preferably in a plot of intrigue, secrets, and spies. #MSWL

...
* Anything you can put the word "cozy" with
* Thrillers - bonus points if they include female rage
* Stories about female rage
* Morally gray female characters - I support women's rights, I also support women's wrongs so bring me all the stories of women
* Stories that will make me cry
...

Looking for powerful storytelling, voicey writing at the line level, and distinctive, fresh illustration this #MSWL Day! Please check out my various posts and if you think you have what I’m looking for, submit to me here:

—Queer takes on subjects (along the lines of Sabrina Imbler's HOW FAR THE LIGHT REACHES)
—Nonfiction that makes me feel something & teaches me new things (a la Bonnie Tsui's WHY WE SWIM)

5/6 #MSWL

—Platform-based nonfiction in pop culture & lifestyle
—Accessible nonfiction abt neuroscience, sex, & relationships (especially by Queer/underrepresented voices)
—Pop science abt the natural world w/ a narrative approach (like Sy Montgomery's SOUL OF AN OCTOPUS or Juli Berwald's SPINELESS)
5/6 #MSWL

—Exploring a magical matrilineal inheritance through a trans POV
—Whip-smart protagonists and playful banter with dialogue that makes me literally LOL
—Real burgeoning science taken to the next level
—Dark & twisty plots where I DON'T guess the ending

4/6 #MSWL

—Stories that examine contemporary issues using horror/speculative elements as the vehicle (think Jordan Peele or Stephen Graham Jones)
—Sentient plants or natural settings with a sinister undertone (a la Annihilation)—bonus if it speaks to our climate crisis without being too heavy handed
3/6 #MSWL

Regardless of genre, I'm seeking inclusive, intersectional voices & gorgeous line-level writing with emotionally compelling narratives. Some of my #MSWL includes:
—Horror that dismantles the gender binary & societal norms
—Occult conspiracies
—Cozy mysteries that center BIPOC/queer characters
2/6

Happy #MSWL day!
Some things I'm really excited to see in my inbox this year.
* Queer Stories - bonus points if they're joyful (but they don't have to be)
* Romance - bonus points if they're queer
* Stories highlighting strong female friendships
* Historicals from underrepresented voices
...

On the hunt for #darkacademia novels, particularly those that are a bit more upmarket and less magical - The Secret History vibes. If you have a crime novel set in a university, boarding school, library - it might be for me. #mswl

Happy #MSWL day! I’m not currently open to submissions, but you can always find my wish lists for MG and YA here: manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/me...

I'm prioritizing adult fiction. Taking a break from nonfiction submissions, because I've recently signed some amazing authors in nonfiction and need to focus on their projects first.

I'm participating in #MSWL Day! I've been working through my queries, and I'm almost ready to re-open. (Estimate: March 10) I'll be posting throughout today, and I'm so excited to see new subs in these areas: #fantasy #speculative #adventure #historical #mystery #suspense #horror

You can find more info about my submission guidelines and other projects I'd be excited to find on my MSWL here: manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/em...

Happy #MSWL Day! I only accept agented submissions, but wanted to get into the fun. I'm an editor over at Chronicle Books, and I would love to find more MG novels this year—especially ones that feature queer kiddos with big feelings, are a KNIVES OUT-style mystery, or use horror as metaphor! 🏳️‍🌈🕵️😈

#MSWL Looking for a very narrow category: women's historical fiction about Mizrachi and Sephardic Jews

#MSWL : Nonfiction that turns me into that person at dinner parties. Cold War spy games, true crime that makes me triple-check my locks, pop culture deep dives that make people say how do you even know this? If it sends me into a research spiral at 2 AM, I’m in. #amquerying (1/n)
