Currently injured and taking forced time out from my favourite hobby (running) and reflecting a lot on the running world and mindset. If anyone is querying a literary leaning novel with running as a central theme or focus I would love to see it! #mswishlist #mswl

I’m craving dark academic YA fantasy #mswl

Somebody please use this as inspo for a serious paranormal heist book and query me with it, I am begging you. #mswl #AmAgenting

Non-Fic #MSWL request. I'd love to see a narrative non-fic about running—humorous & uplifting voice be great. Memoir-esque, but informative.

Author must have a platform, and ideally either will have been a competitive runner or coach/trainer but not necessary.

Perpetual #MSWL

apropos of nothing in particular if YOU are writing epic fantasy about kingdom-rending lesbian situationships send it to ME #mswl

Rewatching DOCTOR WHO means realizing that my deeply embedded love for well written, story-relevant age gaps and couples who argue, stand together, and communicate effortlessly comes from my endless love for Rose and Nine. Every scene, I swoon #MSWL

#MSWL magic schools are cool but I'm feeling for a magical H-mart

I mean YEAH, second this #MSWL

I'd love to see more crossover romantic fantasy in my inbox~

#mswl

Okay YA Legend of Korra please #MSWL

#mswl Space samurai. Query me this immediately, I beg

Just finished watching AVATAR. I know, I know I’m like a million years late on this but definite upper MG #MSWL

Today's #MSWL !

Multi-character, multi-timeline, multi-theme literary works that feel like short story collections but tie together into a novel.
Stories must have scene arcs, not be merely vignettes.

Eg: OLIVE KITTERIDGE by Elizabeth Strout or THERE, THERE by Tommy Orange

I made some tiny updates to my #MSWL to reflect a few more things I'm excited to see (and maybe remove a few things that haven't been working for me). If you comp What Happened in Skinner, please query me!!

We're so excited to welcome @suddenlyjen to the LDLA team!

Today's #MSWL item is VERY specific:

I want whip-smart absurdist OR speculative literary fiction that acts as satirical or hyperbolic commentary on the oddly accepted parts of culture and society.
Eg: Kevin Wilson's NOTHING TO SEE HERE or Jessamine Chan's SCHOOL FOR GOOD MOTHERS

Finally, as before, I have a "bonus pitch" section in QM. USE IT! If you don't put clear pitches for additional manuscripts, I *will* reject your query. I'm looking to work with prolific, well-rounded authors. Nothing personal, just my preference to keep our options open. #mswl

This short #mswl is NOT an exhaustive list. Please visit my QM page for more details about what I like (and don't like). I created several custom genres to help me organize & read-through my submissions. Do your best to use them appropriately (don't sweat it if you're not sure).

- Mysteries and thrillers that are mysterious and/or thrilling from the first chapter. You can have set-up, but the tone should clearly convey what genre I'm reading.
- Adventures like Pax and Wolf Called Wander
- Clean, tight writing styles. I'm a minimalist by nature.
