I really want a cozy spooky adjacent picture book when I open in October. #MSWL

I want to read YA that passes the Vito Russo test. #mswl
glaad.org/sri/2014/vitorusso/

my focus this time around is finding some romance writers, so here are some of my fave tropes
- delinquent love interests
- enemies to lovers/rivals to lovers
- things that comp to wotakoi or gekkan
- two person love triangle (like miraculous)
- that one fanfic... uhhh

Just a little updated #MSWL full of vibes.

Tidbits on what I’m hunting: adult/YA horror; romance (sweet, dark, steam; romcoms, meet cutes, sports hero protagonists, etc.); thrillers/psych susp.; YA dark academia; adult/YA fantasy/romantasy (r’masy must be very unique); & more. Read #mswl #WritingCommmunity #amquerying

Very excited to reopen to queries as of today! W/this new start on the QueryManager platform, I’ve updated my #mswl to give you an idea what I’m hunting! I look forward to your queries!!

WRITERS: I'm open to queries and I'm excited to read your stories. I'm looking for YA/MG/PB and NF (adult and kids). Make me laugh, make me cry, keep me up all night reading. #MSWL here: manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/shari-maurer/

I’d really love for someone to query me with a book about golf legend John Shippen that is centered specifically around the 1896 U.S. Open. What a cool story. #mswl

Will be open to YA/PB/GN/Illustrator work queries from Oct 1st through the 7th!

Particularly seeking contemporary YA, author-illustrator work in PB/GNs or teams, and character-driven, holiday, or lyrical text-only PBs #MSWL

I binged this in one day so… you know what to do. #MSWL

Hunter Strickland is opening to queries tomorrow, October 1st.

What I'm NOT looking for this time around: memoir (very tough unless you have a huge platform), picture books (it's my area of least expertise), poetry, short story collections.

Thanks and hope to see lots of you in my inbox tomorrow!! I'll open some time around 8:30am CST 🤩

I am HUNGRY for adult non fiction from expert voices in their field. I'm very, very open to a wide variety of topics (surprise me!), though anything about death, death doulas, menopause, chronic illness, and medical gaslighting is likely to catch my eye.

GRAPHIC NOVELS (author/illustrators or two people working together is great too) in the YA and MG space!

please I beg you

Very much still looking for horror in the adult, YA and MG space! Also, humorous mystery a la Only Murders/Finlay Donovan is (still) hitting my sweet spot.

In adult and YA fiction, I'd love to see genre blends--particularly thriller + romance / horror + romance / horror + fantasy!

On the adult side, I'm VERY much looking for book club fiction, i.e. upmarket, which is basically a commercial plot with literary writing. If you comp to Britt Marie Was Here or Eleanor Oliphant, PLEASE HIT SEND, thank you.
