#mswl and in either YA or adult, some of my conceptual 'white whales' include:

Afrofuturism in the vein of Octavia Butler or Rivers Solomon

Zany, (anti-)historical fiction, like My Lady Jane or Glorious Exploits

Anything centered around the 2010s YouTube vlogger era

A K-pop sasaeng thriller (!!)

#mswl in adult fiction, i'd love to see:

Fiction centered around spaces and communities.

Late-bloomers (particularly autists) experiencing their first love.

Hooky romcoms with unique premises and queer and/or BIPOC protagonists.

‘Weird girl’ lit, but from voices less represented in this genre.

#mswl as i reopen to queries this next time, i'll be focusing on building out my nonfiction and more commercial/upmarket adult lists -- but will still be open to all my usual categories.

One more #MSWL day!

I am on the hunt for fantasy! YA/NA/adult. Grounded worldbuilding, complex characters, propulsive plot. Sweep me away!

Some recent favorite reads have been:
THE KNIGHT AND THE MOTH by Rachel Gillig
THE MAID AND THE CROCODILE by Jordan Ifueko
THE RAVEN SCHOLAR by Antonia Hodgson

Happy #MSWL day, writers! I rep MG, YA, and adult and am open to contemporary, historical, fantasy, sci-fi, speculative, and horror. I'm a BIG graphic novel person and I also do nonfiction as well! You can see my wish list & submission guidelines here:

My kingdom for this readalike! #MSWL

It's #MSWL day and I am open to queries on Monday. Here are some things I am thinking about.

#MSWL More specifically, I'm really hoping to sign an adult SFF book with a disabled protagonist this year, and I'm dying for the next SICK KIDS IN LOVE. I want YA disability romance so, so, so bad!

For #MSWL #MSWL Day 2026, I'm really, really looking for disabled authors of color! If you have an adult SFF book or any genre of MG or YA novels, please send it my way!

🌈💡 I'm looking for adult fiction (literary to commercial, upmarket welcome) and nonfiction. I'm prioritizing LGBT+, Latino/Hispanic, Asian, and African writers. Submission info on my Instagram (linked in my profile) 💡🌈
#MSWL Day

#MSWL Day is here!

I'm seeking more narrative nonfiction for children and adults. Think THE MONA LISA VANISHES (Day) or Candace Fleming's books for kids.

More like THE ART THIEF (Finkel) or NO HUMAN INVOLVED (Neely) for adults. Also seeking nonfiction that really brings setting to life!

Please send me your upmarket, cozy adult mysteries! #MSWL

Check out my #MSWL here: manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/si..., and submission guidelines here: inkwellmanagement.com/contact/! no ai stuff pls.

I'm open to all things MG and YA (as well as some adult NF), but I'd love to find a story with a Sixth-Sense-level twist, a twist that forces you to reread and confirm the clues were there—you just missed them entirely because the author is that good. #mswl

I'm opening to queries on Monday and will be posting some #MSWL thoughts today. Check my website for full guidelines but I'm open to adult fantasy, adult science fiction, adult horror, adult mystery/suspense, and young adult horror. I'm not looking for MG, most YA, or romantasy at this time.

Hello, writers. I’ll be reopening submissions beginning the first week of March for adult fiction and nonfiction. I will be giving total priority to diverse voices; however, writers of all backgrounds are welcome to submit. #MSWL #queries #nonfiction #fiction

For the grown up shows 📺 #mswl

✅ adult siblings navigating life in hilariously relatable ways because well….emotionally immature parents
✅ workplace settings with gasp worthy social commentary (bonus if it’s set abroad somewhere)
✅ spies or thieves who surprise me but also make me laugh

#mswl labor rights in fiction is a big buzz word for me. Extra intriguing when someone can pull it off in middle grade, but I'm open to speculative or real-world settings, middle grade or YA or adult.

#mswl heists please! YA or adult, contemporary or fantasy settings. Bonus if the heist is intended to right a legal injustice in the vein of the show Leverage or the book Portrait of a Thief. Extra bonus if there's a lesbian protagonist.

I'm looking for picture books, chapter books, middle grade, YA, and speculative adult fiction. I'm open to science fiction for the first time; please be gentle with me.

I'm NOT currently accepting queries for graphic novels.
