- Something “earthy”—be that a lyrical picture book about environmentalism or a MG hiking action-adventure or a darkly atmospheric YA that takes place in a forest or anything in between

"Non-fiction like Matthew Crawford's SHOP CLASS AS SOULCRAFT." @CurtisPSLA #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

I am now up to date on #TedLasso and here to formally request some middle grade with family relationships like Roy Kent's with Phoebe. #MSWL

#MSWL: While I'm closed to queries right now, I'm DYING for a ghosty-spooky story with an UNRELIABLE narrator like WE WERE LIARS meets THE SIXTH SENSE. If you have it, pitch it in ONE tweet below. ONLY If I ♥️it, send me a DM & I'll give you a special link to query me. #A #YA

Just finished amazon.com/American-Betiy… by @ADRajurkar1. Loved it! My #MSWL for protagonists that are children of immigrants.

“Platform-driven non fiction with unique hooks (platform meaning: social media/YouTube followers, TV appearances, email newsletter numbers etc).” @carlywatters #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

Normalize not connecting villains with being fat. Fat is neutral. It is neither good or bad. Why is fatness so often coded as greed in books??? Anyway, this is my plea once again for some rad fat protagonists. #MSWL

#HopePunk: definitely at the top of my #MSWL

I was updating my Manuscript Wish List and it got auto-corrected to Manuscript WITCH List and I think I'm just going to leave it at that. Send me all the witchy stuff. #mswl

“I am on the hunt for non-fiction in MG. Show me glimpses of history that haven’t been taught to younger students before, collections of pieces, anthologies.” @ericsmithrocks #MSWL ericsmithrocks.com/mswl

#MSWL I love a good Southern setting, anything related to Italy, and REALLY want to see some health/illness stories and #disabilityinclusion

YA & New Adult- send me your romcoms, your fresh takes on classics, but please no SFF

Short story collections! I want to see ‘em. 2/x

#WritingCommunity #amquerying I am open to queries so I’ll do a quick #MSWL thread of what I’m looking for:
In Adult- I want to see the best of your literary, gritty, dark (extra points for dark humor!), realist writing. 1/x

"If you have a contemporary family drama set in the Midwest (especially in my home state of Wisconsin), please send it my way." @claire_m_harris #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

mysteries! i love stuff in the vein of castle and lucifer, or even more historical mystery adventures like in miss fisher's murder mysteries

low stakes teen romance. give me contemporary life problems and teen drama tinted by culture and mental health issues, like in the netflix series never have i ever.

stories that feature environmentalism in some way, whether they hearken back to the solarpunk vibes of perfect dark or the extreme measures in final fantasy vii to save the planet

any narrative that involves video games. i grew up on books and games, from the t*witches series to the legend of zelda, and i'd love to see more books that feature video games as an important part of the protagonists lives

ragtag team-ups and heists! some of my favourite brooklyn nine-nine episodes are the halloween heist episodes, and while the heist in six of crows was the least memorable part of that book, it was still there amongst all the character-building and relationships
