I always struggle to put words to my wants on #MSWL day.

Swoony contemporary YA in the vein of Jenny Han #MSWL

A dark and twisty mystery in the vein of Tana French. #MSWL

Still looking for Southern Gothic YA #MSWL

I don't know how to make this into a #MSWL but someone more talented than I should.

When do girls/women decide (blindly or not) to wear makeup? Why? What does it mean? #MG #MSWL

Great romance in the vein of Lisa Kleypas, Julia Quinn, Courtney Milan, Christina Lauren, Jill Shalvis, or Elle Kennedy. #MSWL

Oh my god yes! #mswl

Magical realism in the vein of Sarah Addison Allen or Alice Hoffman. #MSWL

Historical women's fiction that explores cultural heritage and particularly untold non-European historical events. #MSWL

Have you read A Tree Grows in Brooklyn? The world building in that is incredible. Specifics. Specifics. Specifics. #MSWL

OOOO, Sarah, I am down for this. #MSWL

I'm especially looking for inclusive and diverse stories with new and unique voices in all genres and age groups. #MSWL

Corollary #MSWL: a sense of place so deep & distinct that the setting feels like a character unto itself. (I LOVE great #SFF worldbuilding.)

I hope this goes without saying by now, but: #ownvoices /marginalized voices/ underrepresented voices #MSWL

So even if I don't mention a concept that fits your manuscript, query me anyway! I want to see all the queries #MSWL newleafliterary.com/submissions/#_…

In the end, I want stories that have a point of view. A sense of perspective. Use your words to say something worth saying. #MSWL

I'm looking for Women’s Fiction, Psychological Suspense, Romance, Fantasy, Science Fiction, Young Adult and Middle Grade. #MSWL

If you send me the next When You Reach Me you can have my first born. Same goes for Serpent King. #MSWL #MG #YA

I am looking for this, in every book, across all genres. #MSWL #bookhangover
