#MSWL

Hi #amwriting and #amquerying community! After a bit of a hiatus, I’ll be opening to queries next Friday, 11/20! 🥳🎉🎊

If you got any good stuff that aligns with my #MSWL, send it my way:

manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/kayl…

Who wants to do this for us?! #mswl

Please to the Universe, might I have a Queen’s Gambit YA novel? #MSWL

Some additional more specific elements that often call to me within these below frameworks are Jewish representation, and themes of absent father/daughter angst or difficult mother/daughter dynamics. #mswl

Secret royal a la The Princess Diaries YA or MG. #mswl

I remain committed to my platform of sex positivity in YA, de-stigmatization of desire & sex, & inclusive (& intersectional!) representation for diverse sexual & gender identities.

On the YA side, whether fantastical or realistic, I gravitate toward books w/ high concept hooks and stories anchored in themes of identity, sexuality, & loss & grief. (Grief & sex can be complex labyrinths to navigate, as we know...).

Graphic & hybrid novels & series are welcome too! Some examples there from my past titles would be DORK DIARIES and THE OKAY WITCH. Quintessential MG stories about finding your way through the labyrinth of family, school, & friendship twists and turns.

First & foremost—epic, accessible, *character-driven* MG fantasy & adventure series! I’m excited to build series that could sit well alongside my previous projects like KEEPER OF THE LOST CITIES, STORY THIEVES, THE UNWANTEDS, FABLEHAVEN.

"Dark, twisted, borderline disturbing… words I’d use to describe my interest in thrillers. Not looking for gore at the moment, but definitely into psychological elements. Especially fictionalized accounts of actual crimes." @claire_m_harris #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

“I’m looking for all kinds of non-fiction, especially cookbooks, memoirs, essay collections, wellness, and pop-culture history books.” @ericsmithrocks #MSWL ericsmithrocks.com/mswl

Today's mood-setting playlist brought to you by Rupert Holmes "Escape" on repeat (aka the pina colada song...) Is this plot a book yet? Better go ahead and throw that on the ol' #MSWL

“An upmarket fiction piece about a woman with a cool outdoorsy or animal-related job (think STEM).” @readbystephanie #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

As a grad of a performing arts high school I’d love to see a YA or New Adult novel about what happens when you love your art form but it doesn’t love you back in the way you expected. Think Larissa from I Wanna Be Where You Are. #MSWL

I am officially adding this to my #mswl
