A give-for-graduation inspirational picture book #mswl

A high-concept, adorable and swoony YA romance, especially featuring POC characters #mswl

An own-voices undocumented immigration story for any age group #MSWL

YA that takes a nuanced look at abortion and/or consent from a unique lens and/or high concept setup #mswl

A fun MG centered around a place a la Mr. Lemoncello's Library or The 13th Story Treehouse #mswl

A few new #mswl asks... (more here: mswishlist.com/editor/allison…) (can only accept mss through agents or through conferences I have attended)

#MSWL how-to guides for the fragile future, books by and for the next generation of activists, Native voices, manifestos, anti-capitalist business books?

Finally, I am always looking for inclusive storytelling. LGBTQIA+ characters, less explored mythologies, SFF from authors of color, neurodivergence. #MSWL

Middle-aged/older women on adventures! Adventure does not have an age limit! #MSWL

Reincarnated champions a la Legend of Zelda. I want the adventure, but also the struggle with the legacy. What does it MEAN to be under that kind of generational pressure? #MSWL

The next Uprooted. Folklore/fairytale/mythical roots with original characters and plots. #MSWL

SFF with personal stakes rather than global stakes #MSWL

Ghibli-esque fantasy. Lush settings, environmental concerns, rooted in kindness and empathy. #MSWL

I really, REALLY want the next Pushing Daisies. Urban fantasy that lives just this side of the mundane; a tone that embraces both dark and whimsical; characters who ask complex questions of themselves and their friends. #MSWL

Optimistic space opera! Give me found families trapped together in unlikely circumstances. Give me generation ships gone awry. #MSWL

The First Persian Empire. I'm ready for complex cultural exchanges and magical infrastructure! #MSWL

(These are just a few examples, but the possibilities are endless!)

Napoleonic Russia. Give me the epic War-and-Peace style fantasy saga of my dreams. #MSWL

Warring States/Qin era. Give me dramatic, sweeping, twisted narratives like HERO. #MSWL

In general: more historical fantasy/historically-inspired fantasy! Particularly in less explored time periods/locations #MSWL

Some examples:
