The banter in the manuscript I just devoured 🔥🔥🔥 please send more of that my way #mswl

Lastly, I'd love to see books featuring characters with celiac disease (which I have)--especially in the rom-com space. How does one navigate kissing on a first date when your partner has had gluten? This also goes for other autoimmune diseases and chronic illnesses. #MSWL

I'm always on the hunt for deeply romantic stories with a focus on a continuously building chemistry. #MSWL

Along the same lines, I'd love to see shorter SFF (under 100K words). #MSWL

I'd like to see more standalone fantasy. Not standalone with series potential. A true standalone. #MSWL

I am looking for escapist, high concept projects. It needs to have a really strong hook to differentiate itself in today's crowded market. #MSWL

Across the board, I'd like to see more funny books, but especially in picture book and middle grade. #MSWL

At the top of my wishlist is book about trans people by trans authors #MSWL

I'm reopening to #queries on Friday for a week, so I'm going to repost a #MSWL thread from Bluesky over here!

"I am dreaming of nature nonfiction and nature-laced memoirs that are rooted in the land, that give me hope, but don’t shy away from why we need that hope. Nature-driven books that marry science with storytelling."

What publishers have on their #MSWL and what authors are writing don't always match up. What are you writing that no one seems to be asking for yet? Or what do you wish they would ask for more of?
