Happy #MSWL day! I specialize in NF.
Some things I'm excited to see in my inbox this year.
* Self-help from those with substantial platforms
* Examinations of subcultures
* Social and cultural issue books
* Reportage

#MSWL in #Horror :
-Atmospheric Horror, and extreme settings, like a blistering cold winter or a dry desert
-Old stories coming back to haunt the MC
-Character led journeys to find the truth or right a wrong
-Supernatural elements
- Dark naturalism, earthy, creepy woods

I would love to see more queer fiction--historical, crime, horror. I want it all! #MSWL

#MSWL urban fantasy, contemporary fantasy, grounded fantasy--yes. I do love political/court intrigue but I am also hankering for some fantasy about everyday folks! Trades people, bar keeps, swamp witches, mercenaries, thieves, guilds members.

I'm looking to celebrate diversity in every way possible: BIPOC, LGBTQ+, ability, etc. #MSWL

I have clients who write and illustrate for all age groups and am open to all genres! There are a few things that I’m NOT right for, however: political nonfiction, erotica, sports nonfiction, true crime, and anything hateful toward any people group or philosophy. Respect > Rancor!

13/ SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS: If you feel that your project will be a good fit for me, please send your query letter to ghutchinson@movabletm.com. Include your first chapter in the body of the text. Due to the volume, I can only respond when interested. 🔮 For more info, my MSWL link is in my bio.

Plus #Horror that draws on similar folklore inspirations but with much darker themes and settings, like books by T. Kingfisher and C.J. Cooke.

And Folklore-inspired tales and retellings that feel whimsical and lush, dark and inviting, like The Fox Wife by Yangsze Choo, Black Sun by Rebecca Roanhorse especially in Non-Western settings, Native communities, or Appalachia #Fantasy #MSWL

Hey hey! Is #MSWL day! I’m #opentoqueries at the moment, so I’ll post a few thoughts on what I’m looking for! Thanks manuscriptwishlist.bsky.social for the fun event! Remember, the #MSWL hashtag is for agents/editors only! 🧵

12/ FUN FACTS: I enjoy tarot, gardening, pottery, swimming in springs, rivers, and the ocean, hiking, fishing/scalloping, urban exploring, architecture/design, fashion, sewing/crocheting, home renovation content, journalistic deep-dives into niche topics, antiquing/thrifting, and oddities aplenty.

#MSWL You can call it dystopian, near-future, 5 minutes in the future--whatever you like--but I'm looking for grounded speculative fiction in both YA and Adult with stellar prose, resonant and relevant themes, and deep character development.

More fantasy #MSWL : Adventure and magic with a badass female lead like Shannon Chakraborty’s The Adventures of Amina al-Sirafi or V.E. Schwab’s Fragile Threads of Power (or anything like V.E. Schwab's books, for that matter)

Though I've been dipping my toes into younger children's books lately, the only children's genre I'm actively seeking out is YA. I love a funny contemporary YA novel, a twisty mystery, or a super dark horror novel. Basically, I'm looking for the same genres in adult and YA. #MSWL

11/ FYI: I'm someone who really appreciates a well-edited submission, so please triple check for typos and formatting errors before querying me. I'm averse to the overuse of adverbs, so Command+F "ly" is your friend! Also, if your debut is well over 100k words, it might not be the right fit for me.

I enjoy absurd, surreal books, whether they're funny or serious. Bring on the fabulism. #MSWL

In celebration of #MSWL day, I also updated my profile on the Manuscript Wishlist website: www.manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/th...

This is what I'll be looking for when I open to queries later this month. 😊

10/ What not to send me: YA/MG, military thrillers, police procedurals, self-help or religious books. I'm less interested in hard sci-fi/fantasy than stories featuring lighter speculative elements.
