Every time a new James Cameron Avatar movie comes out I am reminded that one of my biggest #MSWL items is books by Indigenous authors about space exploration/exploitation

My top two #mswl wishlist items for 2026 are:
- an exciting adult mystery or thriller with something to say. Something that feels like Alyssa Cole's WHEN NO ONE IS WATCHING or
kellyekell.bsky.social's MISSING WHITE WOMAN
- mg or ya set in Appalachia by someone from there. Especially with 🏳️‍🌈 or ♿️ rep

i’m looking for agented authors of color interested in writing new adult contemporary romance for our new adult imprint, requited. any agents i can connect with on this? #mswl

Note: I will reopen to author-only creators in the picture book space after the holidays 🫶

📢 AUTHOR/ILLUSTRATORS 📢
Surprise! I'm open to picture book author/illustrator queries from now until the end of the month. I will be prioritizing humor, high-concept hooks, STEM topics, and fresh approaches to evergreen topics #mswl

#mswl I've received very few graphic novel proposals since re-opening to queries, so I want to shout from the rooftops that, as a graphic novelist myself, children's comics are my jam and I want to see all of your pitches! Comics are so important!

#mswl I am gleefully losing my mind at the characters and tone of MAY I ASK FOR ONE FINAL THING and can't believe that the season is already ending this Friday. Turns out I love when elegant ladies get to punch baddies. Make me laugh while keeping me at the edge of my seat!

#mswl I adore will-they-won't-they romance, slow burn, established pairings, and more. I'm open to all YA graphic novels including romcom, but for prose I'm strictly open to children's fantasy, spy, and heist, not contemporary romance. It was listed in error on querytracker, now fixed.

#mswl - Here are some things I'm longing for in my inbox!

While I'm open to all MG and YA fantasy I'm especially craving second-world, epic fantasy adventures. Lately I've been devouring the Alanna books by Tamora Pierce. Send me stories with unusual crafting trades and competent protagonists.

Wake Up Dead Man is so so good, and it has me wanting to read all the closed circle mysteries. Especially if you have a closed circle mystery set in a theater or on a train #mswl

"Send me nonfiction proposals about pop culture."

"I am on the lookout for books that are weird but for a good reason (ie. express a 'big think' idea)!"

True yearning and an intense slow burn like “Heated Rivalry” by Rachel Reid or “Assistant to the Villain” series by Hannah Nicole Maehrer. Give me emotional, like giggling and kicking your feet type feels. (Basically how I feel watching and/or reading these series 😻) #MSWL

Reposting because of the season 2 news for “Heated Rivalry” 🥹💙 when I say slow burn, I definitely mean emotional, like giggling and kicking your feet type feels. (Basically how I feel watching and/or reading both of these series 😻) #MSWL

I’d love to read more first person mystery and thrillers! Especially with Female main characters! #mswl

"I am dreaming of nature nonfiction and nature-laced memoirs that are rooted in the land, that give me hope, but don’t shy away from why we need that hope. Nature-driven books that marry science with storytelling."

"In nonfiction, I'm looking for anything witchy! Send me proposals on the occult, astrology, and tarot."
