Border stories #mswl

Multi-generational novels like Pachinko, Kintu, Roses, The Fortunes, etc. #mswl

This is broad but novels exploring identity. Everything from The Girl Who Fell From the Sky to There, There to She’s Not There. #mswl

Gothic atmospheres like Sarah Waters, Thirteenth Tale, What Should Be Wild #mswl

Novels about real-estate or inheritance. Doesn’t have to be for the super wealthy (for instance, I loved The Turner House but also fell hard for Family Trust). These things are always high-stakes for those involved #mswl

Cults, con-artists and survivalist narratives are longtime obsessions of mine—as are narratives about obsession #mswl

#mswl A few more. One of my favorite recent books was #1 Chinese Restaurant, so if you have a restaurant (or workplace) drama that blurs the line between family and employees, send my way.

Forever #mswl

Dying for more magical realism women's fiction, or #ownvoice women's fiction contemporaries #mswl

I typically go for pretty dark & gritty, but craving some good FUNNY & voice-driven rom com ala TO ALL THE BOYS I'VE LOVED BEFORE, WHEN DIMPLE MET RISHI, THE SUN IS ALSO A STAR in YA #mswl

Hot on my list for #mswl are #ownvoice contemporaries featuring diverse characters.

Honestly, so much is just not being told yet that there's such a wide variety of diverse stories I just can't say I want till it shows up on my door. Best thing of course is a great story, well written. #MSWL

I'm reading queries and actively acquiring! Happy #MSWL Day = I'm hungry for a 100,000 word romantic comedy that makes me giggle and laugh. Something like RED, WHITE AND ROYAL BLUE by @casey_mcquiston = manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/sara…

If you write inspirational romantic suspense that is fast paced, exciting and full of danger, I'd love to see it for Love Inspired Suspense. #ownvoices authors welcome and encouraged. Check out guidelines here: harlequin.submittable.com/submit/29572/l…

#MSWL

Also actively seeking Muslim stories, both contemporary and SFF. In particular, science fiction, as I'd love to see stories of POC we don't normally get to see having adventures in the future. Also goes for SF starring indigenous characters. #MSWL

Our publisher @stacylwhitman tweeted her #MSWL in this thread: twitter.com/stacylwhitman/…

Yes please. I worked for 2 years at a large metropolitan newspaper (as both a reporter and copy editor), so I'd love something with the feel and energy of the newsroom, but in a high school or jr high newspaper (since I only do kidlit). Fic or nonfic. #MSWL

Again, the Tu Books submission guidelines are at leeandlow.com/writers-illust…. Check those for full information. Also please take a look at our list--what we've published, what we've announced to be coming down the pipeline--for a better idea of my tastes. #MSWL

I have always, ALWAYS wanted a book on this subject. Fiction, nonfiction, I'm not picky. #mswl

And as far as diversity goes, I am particularly seeking new authors of color and indigenous authors. #MSWL

We are still actively seeking contemporary Native American narratives for MG & YA, novel and graphic novel. I'd also love more books about black girls/by black women.
