Current adult sci-fi #MSWL—

Epic gay love stories in space
#ownvoices stories about women of color finding their place in a vast galaxy
Complicated, morally grey characters

#MSWL for the new year pt 5: stories with dual or multi-POVs, especially if it's a group of friends. I want to see POVs that bounce off one another, add tension, or really grow the dynamic between the characters.

I think I would like a story about a child who goes abroad for Christmas and is aghast at different cultural practices only to realize the spirit of Christmas is universal. Or something sappy and multi-cultural. #mswl

Updated my #MSWL! Be sure to take a look for 2020, when I open back up to queries! manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/kait…

#MSWL for the new year pt 4: light fantasy or contemporary stories with magical elements, especially if they have quieter stakes.

Not saving the world but instead asking someone out or fixing a fight with a friend.

This time every year I wonder why we don't have a YA retelling of the Christmas story (Mary, Joseph, etc): the characters are the right age, the conflict is strong and, depending on your beliefs, it could be read as miracle or magic a la GRAVE MERCY. Hard to pull off, but...#MSWL

Nonfiction #MSWL—a how-to guide for making friends and finding social circles after college

#MSWL for the new year pt 3: stories from trans and nonbinary writers.

Your words matter and I want to help them get out into the world. ❤

Personal character stakes are my JAM and what I die for in books. Forever #mswl

#MSWL for the new year pt 2: feel good YA romance, especially if it's queer!

First crushes gone right, awkward pining, best friends to lovers, fake dating turned actual dating, I hate you but oh wait, we're actually similar af and I may like you.

ALL OF IT.

I would be VERY OKAY with a lady-forward family heist novel thank you #MSWL

#MSWL for the new year: found families, best friends who don't need to say anything to communicate, friends who live together because sometimes families are difficult.

TAOM is a teen coming-of-age story—but the Earth’s rotation is slowing. In THE DREAMERS, shifting family dynamics are painted on the canvas of a town quarantined bc of a sleeping sickness.

Kind of TWILIGHT ZONE? BLACK MIRROR? THE MARTIAN CHRONICLES?

Send me this please. #MSWL

Her other book, THE AGE OF MIRACLES, is similarly dazzling.

This is top of the list for things I’d love to see in my inbox for ‘20: sci-fi that puts the SFF elements as the backdrop for telling stories about humanity. #MSWL

For instance...
