I’m really itching for some MG manuscripts that take me on an adventure, especially #own ones about non-Western places and cultures. I love mythology and folklore and spooks and puzzles, and I’m a sucker for a snarky narrator. If this is your book, please send my way! #MSWL

I’m so excited to shepherd more mermaid books into the world! It delights me that writers know I love mermaids, because it means a lot of mermaid projects swim into my inbox, which is the best. Keep 'em coming. ✨🧜🏾‍♀️💜

SECRET SOCIETIES, SECRET SOCIETIES, SECRET SOCIETIES, SECRET SOCIETIES, SECRET SOCIETIES. #MSWL

I want them all!

This 👇As much as I love dark fantasy with high stakes, I'd love some lighter, even funny fantasy! #MSWL

...latched onto my neck and I woke up screaming. I've never done that before. I've yelled in my sleep, but never have I screamed bloody murder.

That's what I want. I want a vampire story that's out of the box and keeps me up at night. #MSWL

I’m still looking for my Black Mirror comp! Had some close ones, but still no dice. Although now, I’m leaning more towards stories like San Junipiero or Hang the DJ as opposed to dark and grim. Still twisty, but more full of heart. #mswl

Speculative

However, I would be interested in retellings from classics not often covered. Some examples I’d love to see retold are Picture of Dorian Grey, Jekyll and Hyde, Faust, Korean/East Asian legends and fables, and Mesopotamian myths. #mswl

Retellings 2/2

I’d love something that echos shows like Everything’s Gonna Be Okay or On My Block, or books such as Pachinko, Darius the Great Is Not Okay, Such a Fun Age, and The Book of Unknown Americans. #mswl

Literary 3/3

During this whole time, I’ve been catching up on a ton of K-Drama and I. Am. Obsessed with opposites-attract such as CLoY, My Secret Romance, and Oh My Ghost. I’d love to see something like these featuring POC in my inbox bc I’m not letting go of these feels. #mswl

Romance

“High stakes heists, with interesting complicated criminals and the heat of the chase – thrill me! Something like the adult version of DEATH PREFERS BLONDES.” @maureen_moretti #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

It's been a big week for #TeamMandO—some sales and other exciting projects in the works. We look forward to the next batch of riveting reads. Send 'em our way! 📚 #mswl

Was just chatting with @mer_barnes about BILLY ELLIOT and now I'm crying over "Electricity" again. I will say this until I get it, but I desperately want a YA project about a male ballet dancer in HS. What was Billy's life once he got to the academy? #mswl youtube.com/watch?v=muBrh7…
