To go with this, I'd love more stories that not just deal with women and their issues overall but also ones that deal with friendships as we get older - how they evolve, change, and how we make friends as adults (it's not easy) #MSWL

If you could comp your work to Call The Midwife, please send it my way. I am completely obsessed with this show and have watched it on repeat. Women helping women dealing with women's issues that are still relevant today - Yes, please! #MSWL

This year I'd really like to focus on growing my adult list. Now this does not mean I'm not looking at or interested in MG or YA. Kidlit will always have my whole heart.
#MSWL

If you think we could be a match, query me! Your MS does not 100% have to match something listed on my #MSWL
If you have a mystery and I take mysteries, send it my way. It doesn't have to be a retelling of CLUE (but I am still am searching for should you have it)

It's #MSWL day for @TheTobiasAgency so I'm going to share some details about projects I'm excited to find in my inbox.
But first, a quick note: I'm open to MG, YA, & Adult titles. I do try to keep my MSWL as up to date as possible manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/ann-…

I am getting a upstart on tomorrow's @TheTobiasAgency #MSWL Day because holy hell do i want this as a #YA #MSWL

Dachshund companions are most welcome (loved Lily & the Octopus, loved Arsenic and Adobo!)

I will go for messy family stories before I go for messy friendship stories. I’m especially keen on complicated love-hate sibling relationships.

I do love historical stories across genres! I would love more stories centering real-life revolutions and recessions. My white whale is any accounts of Jose Martí. And if you take inspiration from Edwidge Danticat pls query me!!

TV Show comps that will always make me pause are The Bear, Peaky Blinders, and Frontier. I would honestly kill for an indigenous POV look at the fur trapping industry, or raw, demystifying looks at the restaurant industry (Top Chef horror would be dope)

In terms of more specific #mswl asks, I am obsessed with vicious, evil, terrifying mermaids and sea creatures. None of that Ariel crap. I want my mermaids with blubber and claws pls.

Right now I would absolutely love to see more Latine/Latinx, Caribbean, first gen, and acespec voices in my queries as those are my lived experiences but am excited to see works from all walks of life!

I’ve been pretty into what I call “ancestral revenge” books lately: Mexican Gothic, Hide, The Only Good Indians, Nothing But Blackened Teeth, etc.

I am most interested in books that explore and grapple with inheritance, with the world left behind for us, and how characters react and deal with the consequences of their predecessors’ actions.

In all the excitement of the new year I realized that I don’t have my #mswl posted anywhere! If your project fits any of the below, I hope you #amquerying folks will consider me! Query guidelines can be found on the New Leaf website. Keep scrolling for specifics!

Happy New Year! Some query updates. I'll be opening up from 1/16 - 1/31 and then 3/1 - 5/31. #mswl

honestly? #mswl for a grounded/speculative story featuring an Ellen Ripley-esque character at its heart: a working mother (in this house Alien: Isolation *is* canon, tyvm), full of grit and tenacity, *excellent* at her job, no romantic ties to speak of, a utility-fashion icon,,,

If you're writing Adult or YA SFF with horror as a subgenre pls query me I was reminded today of how much I love it #MSWL

I updated a #MSWL one-sheet for January '23, plus I'll keep tweeting and evolving like the book gremlin I am!
