"Crime fiction like Dennis Lehane." @CurtisPSLA #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

I❤️the structure of @withloveonprime, which tracks a family for a year on the holidays. There's scope not only for max drama-on NYE/Valentine's-but it's also an interesting way to progress time & story arcs. I'd love to see more subs w/ unusual structures #MSWL #WritingCommunity

I'm excited to announce that I have reopened to queries! I have made significant changes to my #MSWL which you can find here: manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/nina…

#MSWL:
MG Genres I’m looking for: fantasy, contemporary, mystery, historical, horror, light/near-future sci-fi

YA: fantasy, contemporary, mystery, historical, horror, light sci-fi, romcom

Adult: light SFF, upmarket, horror, romcom

#MSWL CONT:
-stories where the bff relationship is front and center. Give me your Shawn-and-Gus, weirdos together forever friendships.
-stories about the arts. I am forever that theater girl.

#MSWL CONT:
-eerie & haunting atmospheric horror where the source of the fear reflects something deeper. No gratuitous violence/gore—I want to be creeped out, not grossed out.
-swoony, sharply funny romcoms w/ chemistry that sizzles

#MSWL CONT:
-stories that play with form & storytelling
-quiet magic/strangeness
-retelling genre mashups (eg. The Girls at the Kingfisher Club, Warm Bodies, Hadestown)
-stories where food plays a major role
-all the feels (take me on an emotional rollercoaster)

Across the board (MG, YA, and adult), I’m drawn to:
-stories with a strong family element, whether that’s biological or found family
-protagonists who aren’t the best at whatever they do or The Chosen One, but who try really *really* hard, even when they screw up

#MSWL

I am finally reading CIRCUS MIRANDUS and it is heartbreaking and wonderful. When I reopen to queries I would love to find a MG this emotional and whimsical. #mswl

I only do MG and YA. My taste leans commercial and escapist and ultimately…fun. Big imaginations. Joy of adventure. Humor. Romance. Big feelings. I’ts okay if we’re not a match. There’s a bazillion agents these days. #MSWL

Sub guidelines are easy. I use Query Manager. You’ll need a query letter and 10 sample pages to paste into the form. I’m not uptight about query format as long as you have in there CONCISELY:
- the pitch
- a plot teaser
- a little bit about you

QueryManager.com/queryelana

I can't say this enough...I would be eternally happy if someone had a submission to send me with a similar voice to that of Louise Rennison's Angus, Thongs and Full-Frontal Snogging. 💄💋🐱

I will not rest until I find this as it's my ultimate #MSWL

I keep meaning to post about my new obsession! Give me horror like Archive 81 where the reveals are big, twisting, and consistent #MSWL

manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/laur… I did a proper thing! #mswl

“Gothic fiction with possibly a modern storyline, too (like THE LITTLE STRANGER by Sarah Waters).” @carlywatters #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

#mswl Christian Living, theology, devotionals

#mswl Mystery, suspense, thriller.

Why am I so clumsy. Send me all your clumsy protagonists. I can relate. #mswl.

For the UK #amquerying crowd: NOW would be a very good time to send me fun contemporary MG, magical realism MG, YA romance, YA horror or other YA/crossover SFF.
