#MSWL #MG please. No high fantasy, horror, sci fi but otherwise I will be open to (end of Sept), especially to #diverse voices, strong hooks, compelling plot, amazing characters. Even better if humor laced throughout drama or drama laced throughout humor.

YA: I want stories with mother/daughter relationships a la Lady Bird. Also just rewatched Clueless and I want more zany rom-coms with a clever, confident protags. Ten million points if MC is Latina. #MSWL

#MSWL romance

For historical fic: fave time periods are 19th century and 20th century (especially 1900s-1960s). Bonus points for female protags defying the then order. Double bonus points if MCs are 1st/2nd gen Americans. #MSWL

It's #MSWL day! I would love to find a great graphic novel that fits my list. I get very few GN queries. Especially if an artist is already attached--please send it my way!

Time to share my #MSWL! For SFF: Black Mirror-esque thrillers that imagine the dark and twisted places tech could take us. My fave eps were "Nosedive" and "Men Against Fire." Also want fantasies built on myths and legends, especially from diverse cultures.

Also here's all my #MSWL from years past. I STILL WANT THEM ALL twitter.com/search?l=&q=%2…

#MSWL Also craving smart escapist reads, fairy-tale retellings, books about motherhood (not prescriptive though) and anything that tackles the most urgent issues in our society and/or pushes the envelop.

9. And for more info please check out my Manuscript Wishlist page! It has my perennial interests. manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/sama… #mswl

5. #MSWL and check out my colleagues @eddieschneider @_LisaRodgers @susannprogress @bradymcagent too -- especially YA (I Am Still Alive) & MG (Dactyl Hill Squad)

We all have our wishes -- but we'd love to make your wish come true.

4. #MSWL not like I'll ever stop looking for great sf and fantasy, but today's the day I want to push for the other stuff.

3. #MSWL mysteries! thrillers! 1st book I sold was a mystery. Before Sookie Stackhouse I was selling mysteries for @realcharlaine & in an alternate universe the early mysteries I sold would have taken off more than the early sf/f I sold & I'd be a hotshot mystery agent

1. #MSWL -- I want more of what I'm not known for. Past week, I've signed up two non-fiction projects, one on sports & one a guide for survivors of child sexual abuse. I follow sports, entertainment, business -- I and @awfulagent want more.

NO MORE CHARACTERS DYING. If they die they better be coming back as an immortal, cause I just can't watch beloved characters die anymore, it's too traumatic. #MSWL idea stolen from @JessicaMileo

#MSWL When I open up my queries again, I want the fluffiest most uwu romance / contemporary (adult or children's) fiction with PoC and/or queer protagonists (Not secondary characters fitting the bill and no one is allowed to die!)

#mswl Also, very specific but throwing it out into the world just in case: a novel or narrative history about the relationship between Josephine Baker and Frida Kahlo

#MSWL historical fiction from all around the world (I love my western-front WWII but there's more to life than that!); campus novels, especially about first-gen students; high-concept/speculative lit fiction like Age of Miracles or Station 11; family dramas always and forever

Elves, Faeries, Fae that are not white. #MSWL

PS: If you think you have a manuscript that might be something I’m looking for, please do submit it. As much as I love a great concept, if you could tell your story in a tweet you wouldn’t spend days, weeks, months writing thousands of words. So if it fits my #MSWL send it.😉❤️

For YA, something with gorgeous sentences, scary content, and a mission--like One of Us Is Lying meets Six of Crows. (Love a heist!) #MSWL
