If you're wondering where my #MSWL mindset is at - just finished watching another ep of @RadSechrist @Netflix #kipoandtheageofwonderbeasts with my eldest. LOVING IT!

We've updated our #mswl and added one theme that we're particularly looking for: disasters, being scared, anxiety, and coping. If you have submitted before but haven't heard back from us, you're also welcome to submit new manuscripts that fit our list. #kidlit #kidlitart

Check out @writersyndrome's whole thread, but I'm highlighting her #horror #mswl for @TorNightfire!

okay #mswl tho

For #MSWL in horror

- Creepy Southern/Western Americana or non-Western world Gothic

- horror that interrogates sociopolitical fears

- anything you can see Bruce Campbell starring in

- no exploitative violence against femmes and POC pls

For #MSWL in adult sci-fi/ fantasy:

- contemporary fantasy that's "city as character"

- anything that reminds me of a CW show (lol)

- positive climate fiction

- near-futuristic SF with anti-capitalist critique in the vein of PARASITE

I have some #MSWL asks floating that I'd love to see:

For young adult:

M. T. Anderson's Feed for the post-Instagram, post-TikTok generation

a YA version of The Wire (but with more funny bits and maybe an explosion or two).

a modern queer version of Ten Things I Hate about You

I am technically closed to submissions right now, but I can't get over how challenging it was for one of our pubs to find an African/diaspora picture book artist (they didn't). So now my door is wide open to African artists because that is frankly absurd. #MSWL #kidlit #art

#mswl

my eyes? heart-shaped
my heart? a pile of goo✨
#mswl pls!!!

“I’m in the mood for some 1920s/1950s upmarket fiction with vivid historical settings.” @readbystephanie #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

For my current #MSWL click on the picture to see all the details. You can also always find my most recent manuscript wishlist on the Triada US website.

#MSWL home, lifestyle, garden, decorating, nesting, cooking non-fiction. Because it is what I'm interested in as a reader and agent.

Since we’re here: I’d love to acquire some diverse speculative retellings of classic novels and myths by marginalized writers for @ErewhonBooks!
#MSWL

This is wildly wrongheaded. In light of this, I’d be really happy to see MG BIPOC twists on THE WIZARD OF OZ & THE SECRET GARDEN in my query box. #MSWL

Can I get retellings of public domain books by POC authors? I'd love to see more of that in my box. ❤ #mswl

I would very much love to see a non-white author reimagine The Secret Garden for today’s middle grade readers. #mswl

I got my hair cut today and there was a tiny, precious 4-year-old boy getting his hair cut at the station next to me. Stylist said he keeps a stuffed animal around for the boys because the clippers scare them.🥺

Long story short, I NEED to rep a "first hair cut" PB.💈#MSWL

Just putting this out there. I’d love to take on a literary YA author this year. Think @JasonReynolds83 meets @nina_lacour , or something totally different! Just as long the story is beautiful and fresh and MATTERS. #mswl

This is still #MSWL!
