Al Zuckerman is looking for some great suspense #MSWL! Send your queries to azuckerman@writershouse.com with first chapter as an attachment.

Up next: How to Trap Kim Lionetti: it’s quite simply actually, a Ryan Gosling meme, chocolate, peanut butter (or both) and a couple good reads. Specifically: a YA thriller (#MSWL) or… instagram.com/p/BoZ1hzenfJ7/…

We're having a #WritersRetreat and just did a mash up sesh (thanks @CarolineAbbey!). I have something new on my #mswl. Ready? #TheMartian meets #Hamilton. Send it to meeeee.

I'm re-opening to queries in ONE WEEK. I decided to update my #MSWL in advance so that anyone waiting to submit would have a good sense of what I'm looking for. It's not comprehensive but hopefully serves as guidance. manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/eva-…

this is the moment i look for in my middle grade—the moment you grow up and realize it but don't feel quite ready for it yet. #mswl

(ps: read INSIDE OUT AND BACK AGAIN by thannha lai, it's *lovely*)

If you’ve got any other podcast themed books, we want to see them! #MSWL

We wanna see any #Mystery, #Suspense or #Thriller podcast books too! Any level of darkness! #MSWL

We’d love #YA with a teen running a fun podcast. Maybe a social podcast for their school? Maybe a fandom podcast? You name it #MSWL

👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻 This girl is on it. Love her. If you're looking into submitting a MS based on my tarot card #MSWL, I highly suggest following Tara's advice and looking up the definitions of the card that speaking to you and your MS you'd like to submit. @Literary_Tara is amazing.

Bonus points if the darkness/night feels like an actual character or overwhelming and alive atmosphere in your MS! #MSWL

I just got my new #TarotDeLaNuit which was released a few days ago. I'm so in love with/connected to this deck that I'm making it a #MSWL. I need a manuscript that finds beauty in the darkness of the night like this deck does. If these look like it could fit your MS, send to me!

Reading @AshWrites’ new book, and remembering @WriteinBK’s talk yesterday at the festival, I’m reminded how badly I want to read more YA friendship books.

If you’re writing one, query me next year when I’m open again. ❤️ #MSWL

Ditto for my #MSWL -- make it twisty!

Just watched one of those "fake dating and now we're in love" tropes on the hallmark channel. Can I get a QPOC one in my inbox?!!! #MSWL

In general, I’m the wrong agent for stories that are driven primarily by action scenes. This is because I have the visual imagination of a turnip. Dialogue-driven? Send it on. #mswl

I have a weird bias against stories in which the hero is a gladiator who has to fight his way to the grand prize in the arena. I loved Thor: Ragnarok, but I think this plot generally works better as a movie than a book. #mswl

Ex: Bridget Cleary, an Irish woman who had her own businesses and made her own income, whose husband murdered her because he was convinced she was a changeling. I’d LOVE a story about Bridget ACTUALLY being a changeling or witch and seeking her revenge. #MSWL #amquerying

I would love to see historically inspired stories of people who were harmed by the patriarchy taking back their own narrative. People whose otherness and differences were what made them “threatening” to white, cis men at their time. *particularly* with a speculative twist. #MSWL
