Happy #MSWL Day, Folks! I’m excited to read your pitches!
I’m currently accepting manuscript submissions for the following fiction genres: literary fiction, family saga, high-concept women’s fiction, crime & mystery.

Happy #MSWL day!

some specific shoutouts:
- voice! voice! voice! anything voice-driven with some kind of social lens (YA/adult)
- a literary love story a la PAST LIVES (A24) and FIRST LOVE (Netflix)

my general wishlist remains the same so please do check it out!
manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/marin-takikawa

Also in Historical, I'm interested in seeing the clash of art/artists and war/politics play out on the page, similar to Fiona Davis’s The Chelsea Girls, Elyse Durham’s Maya & Natasha, or Nicole Galland’s Boy. Also, stolen art. Or how creatives reflected or reacted to tumultuous time periods. #MSWL

I updated my #mswl in advance of manuscriptwishlist.bsky.social day today! www.manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/je...

Happy #MSWL day! I’m currently closed to queries BUT when I reopen on March 1st I would love to see-

...
* Surprise me! - Your book isn't on this list? That's okay. I'm happy to check it out. Don't self reject!
* I'm sure I'll think of more, but this feels good for now.
Really, I'm just looking for things I don't want to put down.
???s - drop them below, (no pitching please) #MSWL

I’m currently closed to queries EXCEPT for adult nonfiction proposals. I’m looking for: spirituality/New Age, self-help, health/fitness, motivational, business, celebrity, lifestyle, psychology, relationship/dating, & true crime. #MSWL manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/ly...

I would love for more creepy forest books to drop into my inbox. And give me all the weird genre-bending stories. #mswl

...
* Your heart stories - send me the stories that come from your heart, that are the stories you've needed/wanted
* Genre bending stories
* Contemporaries with speculative elements
* Stories that combat toxic masculinity
* Graphic Novels
... ( #MSWL )

...
* Stories that play with form
* Family saga's that are anchored in a certain subset (ex. 6ft Under)
* Weird stories
* Stories with witches (all kinds of witches)
* Stories with unique settings - take me somewhere!
* Zombies - believe it or not, I like zombies
... (#MSWL)

MG or YA Coming of Age Graphic Novel. Draw me a world with realistic, flawed, lovable, funny characters following their dreams. The next “Malcolm Kid and the Perfect Song.” Sub link in profile #MSWL #GraphicNovel #KidLit

...
* Grounded fantasy / Sci-fi - "grounded" being the key word here
* Stories with surprising twists that connect to character motivation - not a twist for the twist's sake
* I'd still love something in the vein of the movie Sugar and Spice - if you haven't seen it, you should
... (#MSWL)

In Historical Fiction, I'd love to see a pair or group of unlikely female companions, like Kate Quinn’s The Briar Club or Maurice Carlos Ruffin’s The American Daughters, preferably in a plot of intrigue, secrets, and spies. #MSWL

...
* Anything you can put the word "cozy" with
* Thrillers - bonus points if they include female rage
* Stories about female rage
* Morally gray female characters - I support women's rights, I also support women's wrongs so bring me all the stories of women
* Stories that will make me cry
...
