#MSWL Books that play with structure and chronology.

And my incredibly specific #MSWL: I would love to see a middle grade adventure that pulls off the tone, historical tie-ins, friendship drama, mystery, and overall excitement/escalation of NATIONAL TREASURE.

I have a list of things that I "think" I'm looking for here: manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/andr…, but I'm constantly being surprised by what I fall in love with! Looking for my next favorite project #MSWL

Also on my #MSWL is family drama, stories with secrets, with sisters or friends. If you compare yourself to Celeste Ng, I want to see your work.

It's #MSWL day and I'm very eager to find suspense, domestic and otherwise, as by Liv Constantine, Megan Miranda, Ruth Ware, Fiona Barton.

#MSWL Adult sci-fi in the vein of Firefly. Massive in scale, but grounded in the human experience.

Yes please! (HOUSE OF LEAVES is on my list of favorites btw) #MSWL

Still looking for my f/f or bi rom-com with an amazing hook! Add a dash of some kind of journey like 13 LITTLE BLUE ENVELOPES and I'm in! #MSWL

Gothic, twisty, and literary with LGBTQIA subplots #MSWL

Prose to the likes of Nova Ren Suma, Anna-Marie McLemore, Moïra Fowley-Doyle, and Laura Ruby #MSWL

Something with comps that make me pause, such as SHARP OBJECTS meets UNDEAD GIRL GANG (doesn't have to be exactly that, just something that wows and grabs my attention) #MSWL

Some words I'm drawn to in pitches:

Small town, haunting, road trip, island, flowers, graveyard, aerialist, lake, beach/beach house, summer, secret, eerie, key, orchard, food/recipes #MSWL

A novel that uses lighter touches of fantasy to tackle a big issue #MSWL

Stories full of secrets and dark twists like WE WERE LIARS #MSWL

Give me creepy, whether YA or Adult. I'll keep asking for horror until I get it! Less gore and more psychological #MSWL

Happy #MSWL day! I will be tweeting and retweeting some things I'd love to see in my inbox!

Please note that I am always looking to acquire titles by and about marginalized perspectives.

This too! #MSWL
