Always very interested in an international lens but domestically, I’d love to see more novels set in Silicon Valley, Florida, Texas, Alaska (or anywhere that experiences uninterrupted daylight or darkness) #mswl

Border stories #mswl

Multi-generational novels like Pachinko, Kintu, Roses, The Fortunes, etc. #mswl

This is broad but novels exploring identity. Everything from The Girl Who Fell From the Sky to There, There to She’s Not There. #mswl

Gothic atmospheres like Sarah Waters, Thirteenth Tale, What Should Be Wild #mswl

Novels about real-estate or inheritance. Doesn’t have to be for the super wealthy (for instance, I loved The Turner House but also fell hard for Family Trust). These things are always high-stakes for those involved #mswl

Cults, con-artists and survivalist narratives are longtime obsessions of mine—as are narratives about obsession #mswl

#mswl A few more. One of my favorite recent books was #1 Chinese Restaurant, so if you have a restaurant (or workplace) drama that blurs the line between family and employees, send my way.

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…
