Katherine Harrison

A few years back this would have been a ridiculous statement, but I feel like the time has come...

Where is the next John Green? The heir. The disciple. The witty young upstart who was inspired by his books to write their own.

Agents, I'm dying to see this in my inbox #MSWL

OK here's a free idea from my personal wishlist: a middle grade or YA graphic novel about drama and infighting in a school choir. Doesn't that sound delicious?

I updated my #MSWL page for the first time in... a decade? And I'm looking forward to reading some great submissions in 2024.

Agents, among other things, I'd love to find a feel-good underdog sports story to weep over and/or edit. Hit me up! manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/katherine-harrison/

Ok million dollar idea for whoever wants to write it: Phantom of the Opera meets Love Island—a murderous misanthrope haunts the set of a raunchy reality show. #mswl

Shamelessly piggybacking on this excellent #MSWL! Agents, send this to both of us and we'll have an auction 😂

Not that I work on graphic novels or crime fiction much, BUT.... someone clearly needs to write a novel about a crime scene cleaner who cracks cases and rises to influencer fame! #mswl

Binge-watching Ultimate Beastmaster and reading Wings of Fire has stoked my appetite for action-packed middle grade where kids/creatures compete in an arena or some kind of epic contest.

Does anyone have a manuscript matching this description? 🤔#MSWL

Flashback to @laurenspieller’s #MSWL for a YA Drop Dead Gorgeous that I literally haven’t stopped thinking about since—someone write this!

I would kill to read a heady literary mystery about a character who slowly loses it in a shoddily disguised replica of the Love Island villa that turns increasingly hellish. Does this exist? Can someone write it? #mswl

Already obsessed 🤩 And I hope this means we’re about to see a spike in historical YA. My inbox is ready! #bridgerton #mswl

This as a scene in a tragicomic YA #MSWL

Kind of want this epic punishment to be the starting point for a YA novel. Dual perspectives to show the POV of the kid he ridiculed, naturally #mswl

OK, new #MSWL: @RosanneParry's A WHALE OF THE WILD, but revengier.

Here's something I haven't seen in my submissions: a frothy, compulsively readable YA that is enthusiastically & unapologetically socialist. Like, what would RED WHITE & ROYAL BLUE or THE PRINCESS DIARIES look like if they glamorized equality/working class interests? HMU, #MSWL

Avoiding toxic positivity is extremely reflective of my picture book taste 😀. Let's feel our feelings, people! #mswl washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/well…

This post reminds me that I need one of you YA authors to write a creepy gothic retelling of the story of green ribbon girl. Maybe a graphic novel?!? #mswl

Big #MSWL energy for a middle grade caper about neighborhood kids solving a mystery while social distancing, so they can only communicate through windows and tin cans connected by string. REAR WINDOW meets LITTLE RASCALS. Someone write it, I beseech you!

Something about the moon. Nonfiction. #mswl

THE LOVE AFFAIRS OF NATHANIEL P meets HADESTOWN just shot to the top of my #MSWL
