In a big mood for contemporary, literary YA mss that I can get lost in over the long summer weekends. Agents, come through!!#MSWL for this. I tend to like mine in the vein of @kitfrick and @LauraTNamey and @jf_smit and @kyriemccauley and @MindyMcGinnis. In case you need some examples. :)

#MSWL -- I'm still on the hunt for middle grade, and would particularly love a fun middle grade series with action, adventure, and perhaps some magic or a dash (or heaping cupful) of the paranormal!Continuing to put this out in the universe: my hope is to find a big MG series in the next few months: MG fantasy, adventure, paranormal, scifi, etc...something exciting & brimful of imagination and heart, with characters who are at once brave and vulnerable. #MSWL

This has got to be the start of a thriller already, right?! If not, #mswl !! A Peculiarly Dutch Summer Rite: Children Let Loose in the Night Woods nyti.ms/2XVIKCN

Two of my favorite books of the year so far (ASK AGAIN, YES and THE LAST ROMANTICS) are both gorgeous and epic family sagas. I'd love to find something in this vein! #mswl

@draper_claire whatI’m an agent who would love a manuscript that has a kid who’s trans because they’d be more powerful than god and transitions to assume full power. #mswl in the writing community stands for manuscript wishlist, which editors and agents use to signal books they’re interested in

"i was born a boy but i'm in fact a girl"- cliché, boring, implies genitals = gender
"before my birth God foresaw my power and, afraid, made me a boy"
- instantly asserts you're Stronger Than God,
- confirms transitionning gives you unnatural powers
- mythology vibes
- metal

Members of the Spice Girls generation are the only people in history to have both grown up with the internet and to retain childhood memories that predate it. nyti.ms/32yoia1And why I want a book set during the Spice Girl revolution #MSWL

I updated my #MSWL page. I’m looking for MG, YA, kids/teen GN, and author-illustrators. Great writing a must, high concept a plus, and diversity in all ways is welcome. I love your queer, weird, funny, beautiful, nerdy SHENANIGANS. More info: manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/jenn…
