Happy #MSWL Day! I’m looking to work with some great new authors this year! General MSWL is linked below, but here are some specifics I’d really love to see…
bsky.app/profile/ericabauman.bsky.social/post/3ldlrgu36zs2p

- anything inspired by reality TV (bonus points for Traitors, Love Island, or the Bachelor inspo!)

- gothic romance, gothic horror, and horroromance of all kinds!

-BIPOC romantasy

Some random things I love to help you understand my literary interests: natural history, traditional handcrafts, food, anthropology, puppy dogs, Catholic liturgy, Tolkien, tattoos, whisky, foraging, alpacas, jazz, educational theory/pedagogy, puzzles, and people of all stripes.

- MG mysteries! Friends solving puzzles together!

- MG fantasy with immersive magic and problem solving like Spirited Away

- MG contemporary stories about building community (sports teams, clubs, craft circles, neighborhood gardens, etc!)

- YA mysteries that feel like Truly Devious or One of Us is Lying

- YA psychological thrillers like We Were Liars

- YA horror that is gently spooky and also very dark YA horror

14/ Finally, I want to connect w/ historically marginalized and underrepresented writers! We need the stories that only YOU can tell in this world. Queer/Trans protagonists, love stories, or just-existing-casually-because-that's-real-life; plus BIPOC perspectives and disabled voices across genres. 🙏

- trans characters in any setting, any genre. but especially if you’ve got a trans rom com!

- stories set in the PNW, Appalachia, or arctic!

- mother-daughter stories and sisterhood stories!

Happy #MSWL day!! My updated mswl can be found here:

And here is a thread of some specifics I’d LOVE to see more of 🧵

Like many others, I’m really feeling cozy, hopeful, and even silly vibes right now. Give me light to fight the darkness! In fiction, I want a humorous friendship romp! In nonfiction I’m looking more for untold inspirational stories and curiosities than exposés and diatribes.

Happy #MSWL to all! This is my page, updated it relatively recently: www.manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/em... I will be open to queries again on the 3rd of March. I'd love some voicey YA, particularly with romance, picture books on topics not usually addressed in pbs & fantasy that sweeps me away.

#MSWL anything that can comp to:
- Little Children
- The Goldfinch
- The Corrections
- Salt Fat Acid Heat
- White Noise

Happy #MSWL day! I specialize in NF.
Some things I'm excited to see in my inbox this year.
* Self-help from those with substantial platforms
* Examinations of subcultures
* Social and cultural issue books
* Reportage

#MSWL in #Horror :
-Atmospheric Horror, and extreme settings, like a blistering cold winter or a dry desert
-Old stories coming back to haunt the MC
-Character led journeys to find the truth or right a wrong
-Supernatural elements
- Dark naturalism, earthy, creepy woods

I would love to see more queer fiction--historical, crime, horror. I want it all! #MSWL

#MSWL urban fantasy, contemporary fantasy, grounded fantasy--yes. I do love political/court intrigue but I am also hankering for some fantasy about everyday folks! Trades people, bar keeps, swamp witches, mercenaries, thieves, guilds members.

I'm looking to celebrate diversity in every way possible: BIPOC, LGBTQ+, ability, etc. #MSWL

I have clients who write and illustrate for all age groups and am open to all genres! There are a few things that I’m NOT right for, however: political nonfiction, erotica, sports nonfiction, true crime, and anything hateful toward any people group or philosophy. Respect > Rancor!

13/ SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS: If you feel that your project will be a good fit for me, please send your query letter to ghutchinson@movabletm.com. Include your first chapter in the body of the text. Due to the volume, I can only respond when interested. 🔮 For more info, my MSWL link is in my bio.

Plus #Horror that draws on similar folklore inspirations but with much darker themes and settings, like books by T. Kingfisher and C.J. Cooke.

And Folklore-inspired tales and retellings that feel whimsical and lush, dark and inviting, like The Fox Wife by Yangsze Choo, Black Sun by Rebecca Roanhorse especially in Non-Western settings, Native communities, or Appalachia #Fantasy #MSWL
