Forever #mswl

Dying for more magical realism women's fiction, or #ownvoice women's fiction contemporaries #mswl

I typically go for pretty dark & gritty, but craving some good FUNNY & voice-driven rom com ala TO ALL THE BOYS I'VE LOVED BEFORE, WHEN DIMPLE MET RISHI, THE SUN IS ALSO A STAR in YA #mswl

Hot on my list for #mswl are #ownvoice contemporaries featuring diverse characters.

I'm reading queries and actively acquiring! Happy #MSWL Day = I'm hungry for a 100,000 word romantic comedy that makes me giggle and laugh. Something like RED, WHITE AND ROYAL BLUE by @casey_mcquiston = manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/sara…

Yes please. I worked for 2 years at a large metropolitan newspaper (as both a reporter and copy editor), so I'd love something with the feel and energy of the newsroom, but in a high school or jr high newspaper (since I only do kidlit). Fic or nonfic. #MSWL

I have always, ALWAYS wanted a book on this subject. Fiction, nonfiction, I'm not picky. #mswl

I'm also always interested in deep dives into particular subjects. Think quirky like Mary Roach or food-related like Mark Kurlansky. #mswl

The other day I stumbled upon DID (Dissociative Identity Disorder) Twitter, and I would LOVE to see manuscripts and short story collections (fiction and nonfic) from writers with DID. #MSWL (No need to wait until I reopen to queries on this one, but I only rep kidlit.)

MG or YA about a kid with an unusual hobby or interest. #MSWL

What about a YA novel involving enmeshment and helicopter parenting? The good and the bad. #MSWL

I updated my #MSWL page today! Check it out: manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/carr…

Dark suspense is my literary happy place. I'd love to find an Adult Thriller series in the vein of the @JefferyDeaver Lincoln Rhyme series or the Thomas Harris Hannibal series. # TickTock #MSWL

A note for writers: I'm currently closed to queries, but I'll sometimes post things I'd love to see to #MSWL because I will most likely forget by the time I reopen to queries. So take it as a "for future reference."

#MSWL Training schools in fantasy

In narrative nonfiction: Books about food, material culture, art, literature, and history always top the list, and I'm particularly interested in projects that explore how many of these topics intersect with race, gender, and politics. #mswl

Lastly in mystery, I'd love to see some diverse cozies land in my inbox. There aren't nearly enough of them, please send more! #mswl

Also, if you have a project that calls to mind Tana French's Dublin Murder Squad series, send it over! #mswl

In mystery, I'm a sucker for stories where the setting is inseparable from the plot / characters. What Attica Locke does in BLUEBIRD, BLUEBIRD and Jane Harper does in the Aaron Falk books, exceptional. #mswl
