For adult fiction, I’d love cozy mysteries with a unique spin. Send me dark fantasy, epic fantasy…actually…just send me all the fantasy!!! I’d also like sci-fi with a science slant instead of aliens or a Star Wars remake. I’d love more #ownvoices & #diversity too. #MSWL 3/4

I’d like to see some high concept YA projects. Hook me with a YA contemporary that hasn’t been done before. Show me a unique SFF world with a different kind of journey—something unpredictable! I’d love more #ownvoices & #diversity too. #MSWL 2/4

Speaking of nonfiction for young people, query me with:
--Deeply reported narrative of historical events
--Bios of underappreciated historical women or POC
--Self help from columnist of mainstream publication or popular blog
#MSWL

I’m looking for MG projects, especially sci-fi, fantasy, horror, & contemporary. I’d love more #ownvoices & #diversity too. Make me remember the magic of being a kid. I’d love to see characters dealing with their first crush, first period, and realistic everyday drama. #MSWL 1/4

I'll be tweeting for #MSWL on and off today, so keep an eye out! Let's start first with my actual page link to see what I love and what genres really interest me: manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/kait…

I would love to find a heartwarming magical realism novel! #mswl

I really, really want illustrated nonfiction. Ex: WHAT WE SEE IN THE STARS, LITERARY WITCHES. Or maybe something prescriptive and workbook-ish like THE CURATED CLOSET. #MSWL

No more dark #mentalhealth manuscripts. I want the characters to struggle with other things but their mental health to be a given reality that they cope with. #MG #YA #MSWL

Send me all the happy, healthy family #MG, like Finding Audrey by Sophie Kinsella but Middle Grade. #MSWL

I'd love to see more non-fiction in all young reader categories: picture books, MG, YA, heavily illustrated and graphic projects. #MSWL

Send me books like this! #mswl

I'd love to see juicy contemporary inspy romance plotlines. For example, someone in Witness Protection who can never tell anyone including love interests who she really is. Or a character who finds out as an adult he/she was switched at birth or kidnapped. #MSWL

One of my favorite novels I've ever read is BUT I LOVE HIM by @MandyHubbard and I would love to see similar/comparative titles in my inbox. #MSWL

SOMEBODY MAKE THIS DANCE INTO A BOOK.

Top of my #MSWL is a literary middle grade mystery with high stakes, middle grade and YA graphic novels, author-illustrated picture books, a YA novel told in reverse chronological order.

If someone could take the atmosphere, humor, and heart of Supernatural and channel it into a book, I will love you forever.

#mswl

Are you an author that doesn’t pull punches? SEND ME YOUR STUFF.

I want ALL the heartache and amped up feels. GIMME.

#mswl

And last but not least in #MSWL I wanna work with authors who wanna work with me. I want us to be a team! I wanna be one of your biggest champions and supporters for the life of your career!! So that’s not a manuscript wish list...but a maker of the manuscript wish list. 😉🤫❤️

To continue just a little bit... #MSWL I’m a commercial agent, so I like books I can read in one sitting, books that make me laugh, and books that make me cry. MAKE ME FEEL.

I want books that can be an escape, that lift people up, that bring joy, that can be transformative.

#MSWL MG/YA featuring characters who are involved in their faith communities, even if they chafe a little within them. Discovering how your beliefs differs from others--even those you share a faith with--is an important growing-up moment!
