These are some of my perennial #MSWL wishes. You can see a fuller list on my website, though this obviously isn't everything: michellewitteliterary.com/query-guidel...

I'll try to think of specific things tomorrow to give you an idea of the kinds of books I like. But I also love to be surprised.

I love to get queries for books that fit any of these descriptors: weird, strange, odd, quirky, creepy, bizarre, peculiar.

I would kill to find the next Edward Gorey. Like seriously, an author and/or illustrator with the same twisted, quirky vibe is my dream. Or the next Roald Dahl.
#MSWL

A few more #MSWL a bit early: I would love to find some chapter books and early readers (even better if you're also an illustrator).

I love board books as well, but those I want to see from author-illustrators.

For picture books, I'm willing to see text only, but I do prefer author-illustrators.

Tomorrow, Feb. 12, 2025, is #MSWL Day! Seeking Rom-Coms & Psychological Suspense. See the pics for specifics that will catch my attention! I'll be open to subs Feb. 12-15th. See website link in bio for sub info.

Oh, and I should note I’ll be re-opening to queries on March 1, so please do keep me in mind as you prepare your query lists for pb, mg, ya, and everything in between (as long as it’s for children). Once I reopen, my query guidelines will be live at QueryTracker.net/query/michel... #MSWL

#MSWL I only represent children’s books, but I work with everything from board books through YA, both fiction and nonfiction. In board and picture books I prefer seeing submissions from author-illustrators.

#MSWL First off, let me be clear that I actively look for authors and illustrators from marginalized groups (from all races, cultures, ethnicities, genders, LGBTQIA+, etc.).

My dream project is a picture book that connects with some of my New Age sensibilities. Astrology, Chakras, crystals...past lives! Surprise me with something like that, really well done, and I'd be very interested. #MSWL

I’ll be at the LTUE sci-fi/fantasy conference this weekend, so I might end up posting more than usual since books will be on the brain. Or maybe less, if I run into a lot of friends I haven’t seen in years. But I will try to throw out some #MSWL posts since I’m opening to queries in March.

I'll be opening to queries for 4 days only starting Feb. 12, 2025. For this submission window, I'll only be seeking rom-coms & psychological suspense. Give me a unique hook! Terrific voice! Spot-on pacing! #MSWL

Highlighting some #mswl in either YA, NA or adult: horror of any variety. Looking for really unique (new twists) romantasy, fantasy from soft to epic. Also where are my sci-fi space opera writers? 🤣 In addition to my other tweets on what I want.

#WritingCommunity #amquerying

I am so in the mood for a love story, whether it be a sweeping epic, one with a unique hook or the next Emily Henry. Do send me all of your submissions and I can’t wait to read them. You can see my submission guidelines here: unitedagents.co.uk/afeinerunitedagentscouk. #mswl #respectromfic

I am looking for thrillers and crime fiction of all types; book club and historical fiction that moves me and makes me think (including novels featuring fantasy/mythology/science fiction). In non-fiction, books which open up the conversation and take me on a journey. #mswl

I got to speak with @manuscriptacademy .bsky.social about my wishlist recently to talk about the kinds of stories I’ll be searching for this year. An announcement on when I’ll be reopening for query submissions is coming soon! #mswl
