I used to do a lot of adult nonfiction: celebrity memoirs, how-to books, popular science, pop culture.
I would like to do more of those. #mswl

I’d love some lighter fantasy & sci-fi stories that feel grounded and accessible
Like I don’t need to know how the flux capacitor works just that it makes time travel possible (this sci-fi reference is the perfect analogy for how I want my fantasy and sci-fi in adult) #MSWL

Where are my stories of women teaming up for good or evil or a little of both — #MSWL
Still dying for my (YA) or adult remake of Sugar and Spice - I love these girls

While I do represent kidlit and love it, this year I’m really looking to expand my adult list. So here is a #MSWL thread in hopes of finding some good matches. (I’m still taking on kidlit so no worries there)

2023 #MSWL! As a reminder, I represent BIPOC, queer, & marginalized creators making joy for themselves in SFF & horror for MG, YA, Adult, and Graphic Novel.
My existing MSWL is still a mortifyingly perfect encapsulation of my tastes, but this year I'm looking for even MORE:

I once taught a film class on Alfred Hitchcock. I would love to see a Hitchcockesque YA, or adult, suspense manuscript. #MSWL.

Super excited to announce my official #MSWL has been posted on Manuscript Wishlist!

manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/sami…

I'd love a zeigtgeisty absurdist critique of modern inequalities (adult or YA) along the lines of White Lotus or Knives Out, ideally from the POV of marginalized characters.

Bonus points if it feels as unsettling as the White Lotus theme song! #MSWL

I won't be able to drop by #moodpitch before this too-short week ends, but my queries are open for work that aligns with my #MSWL, and feel free to include your mood board if you have one: manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/roma…

(I'm strongly prioritizing adult submissions at the moment!)

Agents, here is my MSWL! Can’t wait to connect with you! ✨ #mswl #editor

Adult

Romance, romance, romance! I adore swoony romances, chaotic protagonists, and conversational and/or laugh-out-loud voice. I also love if there's a sprinkling of spec fic (a la THE DEAD ROMANTICS).

I'm always here for a good, bonkers romcom as well, the wackier the better.

Here it is! The #MSWL thread!

The broadest strokes are that I'm looking for Adult romance; YA romcoms, contemporary, and the odd spec fic; and MG contemporary and fantasy. Specifics below.

I’m really hunting for superhero stories in both YA and adult, especially ones that interrogate the hero vs. villain dynamic and deal with the systemic roots of villainy. Romance very welcome!

YA and adult fantasy books that deal with religion, both fictional faiths like SEVEN FACELESS SAINTS and real ones like WHEN THE ANGELS LEFT THE OLD COUNTRY and ANGELS BEFORE MAN.

Really seeking artists as well in the YA and adult SFFH & memoir & contemporary space. I love the elegant look of LAURA DEAN KEEPS BREAKING UP WITH ME as well as the cartoonish realism of TWELFTH GRADE NIGHT.

I’m REALLY looking for mystery/thrillers/suspense in both the YA and adult space, ESPECIALLY from marginalized populations. However, I am not the right fit for law enforcement protagonists or love interests.

For the basics, I represent: MG horror, mysteries, & thrillers; YA SFF, horror, mysteries, & thrillers; adult SFF, horror, mysteries, & thrillers; select YA/adult GN; and select adult NF. More niche wants below ⬇️

#MSWL - some specifics but it doesn’t mean I’m not open to other things
F/F romances — especially adult romances
Thrillers/mysteries
Historicals from underrepresented voices
Adult light fantasies
Feminist stories
Author/illustrator GN
Stories w/ speculative elements

A coming of age story (could be either YA or Adult) that's set in a specific era or place and centred on a particular 'thing' the MC loves or has to overcome - like an 11yo boy in 1980's Durham who, against all odds, wants to be a ballet dancer...
