stories rooted in comedy, where the idea that the tragic ending is the sophisticated and adult one is soundly rejected. Stories about possibility and hope; stories that are fun. I really need an excellent voice as well.

The past couple of years have left me far less interested in stories where the fate of the world is at stake, and far more interested in human-scaled stories, with large and engaging casts. Stories where people try to figure out how to be the best versions of themselves,

BookFriends, you all know what time it is!

#MSWL time!

From @TracyMarchini:

"I would love to find a middle grade from an ace-spec perspective and/or an author-illo picture book with the aesthetic of CREEPY CARROTS." 🥕

"Non-fiction like Joseph McCormack's BRIEF: MAKE A BIGGER IMPACT BY SAYING LESS." @CurtisPSLA #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

I am in love with this. It also feels like a very good plot bunny for #MSWL
It could be horror... it could be rom-com... it could be anything!
Also, I want to go to this place. Or open one here 😈

Weirdly excited about having a #MSWL profile now. 👀 manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/sara…

PS. I also want to see some atmospheric horror by marginalized writers. Show me what you got! #MSWL

“Fiction I loved (from the past year or two): THE MOST FUN WE EVER HAD, THE GREAT BELIEVERS, FLEISHMAN IS IN TROUBLE, LITTLE FIRES EVERYWHERE, THE LAST ROMANTICS, CHARLOTTE WALSH LIKES TO WIN, COMMONWEALTH, CIRCE, THE GREAT ALONE.” @carlywatters #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

for my #mswl more queer narratives à la Neel Patel including characters coming out at later stages of their lives, particularly from BIPOC cultures. I think about this all the time. Every day. 1 AM on a Sunday after cheer up Charlie’s. Thank you and good night.

They’ve been coming slowly but surely but if you are writing one I sure as hell want to read it! #mswl

This is maybe nothing, but I've been looking at a lot of new release books lately, and so many of the spooky ones have frosted covers and are set in cold places... I think the pendulum is going to swing, so sent me all your SCALDING thrillers. Make me sweat. #MSWL

Ok, now I need a hard sci-fi story set in Pluto or a space colony where cryovolcanoes exist. #mswl vm.tiktok.com/TTPdxr62y4/

"Sci-fi & fantasy novels. I love them. I read a ton of them. But they have to be accessible. What does that mean? It means that readers who don't traditionally pick up much sci-fi/fantasy, can pick up one of these novels & enjoy it.” @ericsmithrocks #MSWL ericsmithrocks.com/mswl

I missed #MoodPitch the other day 🥺 if you think we might work well together, please feel free to send me a query QueryManager.com/JordyAlbert

"If you have a contemporary family drama set in the Midwest (especially in my home state of Wisconsin), please send it my way." @claire_m_harris #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

In honor of the horrible excuse for a human who posted on my community FB page about a “sex club” at the local middle school- her post including a photo of an adorable, hand-made flier for the gay pride club, please send me your queer MG stories. Let’s get ‘em published. #MSWL

You can also find a link to my official #mswl as well information about me, the types of books I rep, and what I'm looking for on the @AndreaBrownLit Team page here: andreabrownlit.com/Team/Saritza-H…

Narrative nonfiction (all categories):
- Geek culture
- Food & Wine books; or tie food & wine to travel
- Science (especially if it's space-driven or about tech advancements)
- History (especially those by and about underrepresented voices in US History) (6/6) #mswl

Graphic Novels:
- MG, please! Anything and everything!
- YA: being selective here because there are so many. Really hoping for something like This One Summer which I just ADORED, The Girl From the Sea, or Heartstopper. (5/6) #mswl
