a more complete 2022 #mswl is coming, but in the meantime here are some v specific things i am looking for in ✨YA✨this year:

-dark whimsy
-stories ft BIPOC on the aro/ace spectrum
-ballet stories from a non-cishet non-female POV
-anything inspired by THE MUMMY (and ft BIPOC)

#MSWL crossover Non-Fiction re: Financial Literacy & for youngish people. We can call it EARNIN' & BURNIN' and I'm only sort of half kidding here...

I'm so keen to find some fantastic new stories and authors to work with to kick off 2022 in style! Here is my wishlist - I'd love to see your books 📚✍️madeleinemilburn.co.uk/looking-for/ol… #MSWL #amwriting #amquerying #writingcommunity

This is a bit late in coming, but I am officially open to queries again. To see what I am looking for, check out my #MSWL on my website (link in bio).

I'm a big fan of the monster romance trend and would love to see some monstrous love interests in my query inbox 🖤👻😈#MSWL

Can I have at least a smidge of this vibe in a submission please? ❤️ #MSWL vm.tiktok.com/TTPdrVqW9h/

"Health, Wellness, Humor, Sports, Pop Culture, Pop Science, Pop Psychology." @CurtisPSLA #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

Also #manuscriptwishlist whatever is going on in the Star Trek alternate universe where everything is gold and everyone is evil and sexy. I will eat that story with a spoon.

hey wait is ‘fully automated luxury gay space communism’ officially on my #manuscriptwishlist yet? Well it is now. #mswl

I want to see more stories where the characters embody that “I have decided to become worse” quote. real “I’ll give you something to cry about” energy
#MSWL

when I say I'm looking for thoughtful explorations of life through the lens of sobriety, this is what I'm talking about. amazing article @danielleiat ! #MSWL

I’ve opened to picture books. I’ve missed my PB community. (Go easy on me.)

I’ll be prioritizing authors and/or illustrators from marginalized communities, books with side-splitting humor, and fascinating nonfiction (that’s not a bio).

Bonus points if it incorporates any of the following stories:

Heungbu and Nolbu
Son of the Cinnamon Tree
The Tale of Shim Cheong

#MSWL

Reinventions of Korean folk tales and/or creating a new story following the folk tale structure #MSWL

#MSWL Who must I sell my soul to for a fantasy retelling of A ROOM WITH A VIEW? The manners, the beauty, the romance. The whole book (and movie) feels like you've walked straight into an impressionist painting, and I want that but, like, with magic.

please send me “dark whimsy” (adult & YA); i need more whimsy in my life and the world demands darkness… #mswl

New year, new wishlist!

The wonderful @hayleyemmasteed has updated her #MSWL so #amwriting community, check it out 👀

My latest wishlist for exciting new submissions! Though often the best books are the ones that I never asked for and surprise me... Either way, send me your books! 👇 #MSWL bit.ly/3A9VUw9

Stories where you’d go “I know that’s not real but I would not be surprised if it were” #MSWL

Stories *informed* by cultural background as opposed to *about* one’s cultural background #MSWL
