#MSWL YA and middle grade books about friendship! Both fantasy and contemporary. Make me nostalgic!

Also, if your book features talking animals or is told from animal's POV it is NOT nonfiction. You'd be surprised how much I see this. #MSWL

I want more African-inspired SFF. I want Muslim characters in YA. I want native characters EVERYWHERE #MSWL

I'd love more historical fiction set in any period after the Regency Era. #MSWL

I would love a ms w/ a great #girlboss or a female entrepreneur (doing something other than baking) so much potential for conflict #MSWL

Okay, fine, I'll allow one exception to my query pile closure: MG/YA nonfiction (prescriptive or narrative). #MSWL Sorry, but no PB nonfic.

In MG: A hero or heroine with the spunk and magic of Matilda. @MaraWilson's memoir put that amazing character back on my radar! #MSWL

Like Tom Hanks in Catch Me If You Can, I'm not giving up my hunt for a YA heist. #MSWL

In fiction: Multicultural settings. Let me experience new ideas, issues, family traditions, (and food!), vicariously. #MSWL

Because I take after my grandfather, I'd love to see more Westerns. #MSWL

It's #MSWL Day! In romance: Adult and YA quirky love stories. Or psychologically driven material w/ romantic element...

I love practical how-to with a great platform about business, wellness, health, and relationships. #MSWL

I love books with an overriding sense of dread or creepiness. #showmethecreepy #MSWL

I love magical realism, especially with lush, visceral writing. #MSWL

Happy #mswl day--I still want all the same things as always! Find my wishlist here: manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/patr… & here: mswishlist.com/profile/agent/…

I love groups trying to pull off a heist/mission. Even better if team dynamics aren’t what they seem to be #MSWL

I'm in the mood to read some completely absorbing #mg and #YA! Love the fall--perfect time to curl up with a great manuscript. #MSWL

I've been listening to a lot of episodes of You Must Remember This lately, and would love a novel set during Hollywood's Golden Age. #MSWL

Bonus: narrative non-fiction would be such a great opportunity for #ownvoices #WeNeedDiverseBooks. Hit me with them. #MSWL

Where is the narrative non-fiction/ memoir for teens? It’s so open: compelling personal narratives that are relevant to kids today. #mswl
