#MSWL ALL OF THIS 🙌🏼💜📚

I will read your Black witches/ shapeshifter/ vampire/ demon slayer manuscripts TOMORROW.

A YA Western with a touch of magic! #MSWL ✨🚂🐴☀️👢

Light fantasy/ Magical Realism where weather or a force of nature is the antagonist. #MSWL

Epic adventures with a strong sibling dynamic at its core. See: FULLMETAL ALCHEMIST! #MSWL

A YA book about women's soccer! Think BEND IT LIKE BECKHAM for YA (bonus points if it's f/f) #MSWL

At the top of my #MSWL right now is an epic YA fantasy with inclusive world building, a la MASK OF SHADOWS! Photo courtesy: @Pinguicha

SAME!!! #MSWL

Just in time for #PitMad tomorrow, my #MSWL post is officially up on the Manuscript Wishlist website! manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/ashl…

Beating @BethanyRobison to it but YA in RL (Christian Pulisic is 18, y'all). #USMNT

Also #MSWL

That's a start! If you have something that fits my #MSWL query me with YA MSWL in the header. Sub instructions here: pagestreetpublishing.com/submission-gui…

A YA that takes place in the world of competition cheerleading! This was me in high school. 😉 #MSWL

Southern gothic—salt marshes and sweet tea, porch swings and haunted plantations. Would esp love to find an #ownvoices hoodoo book. #MSWL

Paranormal that doesn’t feel like 2010s demons/ vamps. Give me the creatures of non-western cultures. Esp looking for #ownvoices here. #MSWL

A sweeping, epic LQBTQIA+ fantasy with world building that moves beyond heteronormativity and gender binaries. #MSWL

Magical realism in the vain of Anna-Marie McLemore. Or something contemporary with a touch of magic and ton of atmosphere. #MSWL

A contemporary YA mystery or romance set at a Renaissance Fair or in a SCA guild. #MSWL

Would love to find a YA in the vein of WGN’s Underground—but only if this is your story to tell. No white saviors. No master/slaves. #MSWL

Historical retellings or AU history. Biblical retellings. Maybe a gender-swapped Alexandra the Great or a YA Esther. #MSWL

Sports stories! Especially female-driven or intersectional sports stories. Think Fox's PITCH for YA. #MSWL

Contemp stories of teens accomplishing amazing things, like competing in the Olympics, Youtube sensations, social justice advocates. #MSWL
