Which the reminder to send me all the LGBT+ books for MG and YA once I reopen for queries in September! #MSWL

Getting lots of great queries thanks to the @WritersDigest feature!

For more info on what I enjoy, check out MSWL (manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/laur…) and my blog post (scribblesandwanderlust.wordpress.com/2018/01/01/msw…). I hope you find this helpful! #amquerying #querytip #mswl

Remember those shows PBS used to do like Frontier House and Regency House Party where modern peeps would "live" in the past? What about a book with that premise? Maybe a murder mystery. Maybe a rom com. I'm just spitballing, but I think I need this. #mswl

Annnd they have a jury and I’m not on it. #Dismissed Didn’t even get interviewed individually. Headed to the office Civic Duty COMPLETE!!! FYI: It was a criminal trial involving burglary.

ALSO If you’re working a #CR with a lawyer hero/heroine I want it!! #MSWL

I mean ancient translation--Egyptian, Mesopotamian, Greek, Latin. I've always loved ancient cultures/documents/artifacts. I'd love a book centered around the discovery/emerging solution/process. I'm open to an invented culture, but I'm probably not the one for hard sci-fi. #MSWL

“Unique picture book biographies.” @msmariavicente #MSWL mariavicente.com/representation/

I'd like to see more light/fun contemporary YA or women's fiction set outside of the United States. I love to armchair travel! #MSWL

Still very much on my #MSWL: child psychopaths. Like BABY TEETH or the episode of SVU entitled ‘Born Psychopath’. (Read and watch, even if you don’t have that novel to query yourself!) It’s probably my #1 right now.

You know, I'd love to see a near-future fantasy or sci-fi that explores what the world, particularly the US, would look like if black americans got reparations. #MSWL

But.... it could be.... #MSWL?

Where are the sexy literary novels? I'm reading one now that purports itself as "erotic" and it's just...not. (But shout out to The Pisces, which I loved) #MSWL

“In romance, I prefer there to be something more than “will they get together”—maybe they save the town/kingdom/galaxy?” @kurestinarmada #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

"Non-fiction like Matthew Crawford's SHOP CLASS AS SOULCRAFT." @CurtisPSLA #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

#MSWL I want an MS set a DEF CON—the huge hacker convention held in Las Vegas. Crazy stuff must go down. High-energy. Thriller-esque. Contemporary or near-future (give me crazy attire, cool world building), YA or Adult. Save the world. Solve a puzzle. But HIGH stakes!!!

Getting caught up on the final season of #Unreal and my goodness, do I want to read a novel that feels like this.

Pitch me, writers. #MSWL

Would love to see a funny, meta take on paranormal, like the movie Lost Boys #MSWL

I'm still running on U.K. time, so I'm a little exhausted, but I'm super excited to be at the Hilton and getting prepped and ready for #WDC18 #pitchSlam tomorrow! If you have MG, YA, or Adult romance, fantasy, futuristic sci-fi, or anything on my #MSWL, come pitch me tomorrow!
