also #mswl— more queer hijinks, pls

"Cozy mysteries for younger audiences—I would love to see millennial protagonists, stories with drag queens, boozy brunches, bachelorette parties, all the things!" @claire_m_harris #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

Just a little reminder, books like these are a major priority wishlist item for me. #MSWL

And I may have news about a few soon. ❤️

I have an exam on Monday but I am P R O C R A S T I N A T I N G! So time for an #askagent! My #mswl when I reopen to queries in May is focused on Adult romance and commercial fiction. Like DEVIL’S BREATH by Lang Johnson: geni.us/Devils_Breath

Also #MSWL for books that feel or align with the following tv shows/movies:

-Turning Red (Disney+)
-Only Murders in the Building (Hulu)
-The Afterparty (AppleTV)
-Ted Lasso (AppleTV)
-Good Girls (Netflix)
-Severance (AppleTV)

Putting out an #MSWL call for QBIPOC romance in YA and adult. I want all the steam/heat, yearning, humor, and heart.

pls pls pls send me your f/f romance or rom-coms with diverse MCs in a one-night stand, forced proximity, or in any trope really. ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥 #romancelandia

last day to send fiction queries for a while! I'm looking for more nonfiction at the moment--you can find what I'm looking for in that area via my #MSWL tweets or my bio (stonesong.com/kim-lindman)

“I want to read geeky and accessible adult commercial fiction. Show me all the cool things the comic con kids grew up to do.” @readbystephanie #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

“A nonfiction submission on social mobility would make my day, particularly if examined through intersectional feminist lenses.” @ceciliaclyra #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

"Compelling historical YA like The Weight of Our Sky by Hanna Alkaf." @agentvicente  #MSWL mariavicente.com/representation

This week's #MSWL is the amazing Roseanne Wells! Roseanne represents adult nonfiction and fiction, as well as children's and picture books. To query Roseanne, use the link below!

I'm also looking for history. If your book could have the subtitle "a cultural history," send it on, I'm interested.

stories rooted in comedy, where the idea that the tragic ending is the sophisticated and adult one is soundly rejected. Stories about possibility and hope; stories that are fun. I really need an excellent voice as well.

The past couple of years have left me far less interested in stories where the fate of the world is at stake, and far more interested in human-scaled stories, with large and engaging casts. Stories where people try to figure out how to be the best versions of themselves,

BookFriends, you all know what time it is!

#MSWL time!

From @TracyMarchini:

"I would love to find a middle grade from an ace-spec perspective and/or an author-illo picture book with the aesthetic of CREEPY CARROTS." 🥕

"Non-fiction like Joseph McCormack's BRIEF: MAKE A BIGGER IMPACT BY SAYING LESS." @CurtisPSLA #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

I am in love with this. It also feels like a very good plot bunny for #MSWL
It could be horror... it could be rom-com... it could be anything!
Also, I want to go to this place. Or open one here 😈

Weirdly excited about having a #MSWL profile now. 👀 manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/sara…
