since i’m shouting my #mswl thoughts to the universe these days... 🙏🏼📚

Somebody please send me a picture book ms titled I HATE HUGS. It must not end in a change of heart. #mswl

Tweeting this again because this is the thing I really want right now. #MSWL

I would love to see a funny, exciting #UF (Urban fantasy). Deets on how to query me here: cityowlpress.com/queries/ Deets on my preferences here (please read): enigmaticeditor.blogspot.com/p/likesdislike… #MSWL #querytip

...and there are so many amazing female figures in mythology (or history) whose stories have been overlooked/untold. I would love to work on a book like CIRCE or THE LOST QUEEN--but maybe moving east for the source of inspiration #MSWL 7/

This all began because @VonBrooklyn forwarded me a very cool email talking about the Spring Goddesses Persephone, Flora, and Hara Ke, and honestly, all of them were #MSWL (but we agreed especially Hara Ke and her dragons)... 6/

I'd love a hopeful near future project, an optimistic dystopian tale, something that imagines a world where everything might be broken, but there is a best of humanity that survives (I can't imagine why I want this) #MSWL 5/

I desperately want to go to space right now! I'm not much of a hard #SF person; I love character-driven adventures with heart a la Becky Chambers, and more sweeping space operas (ragtag crews, seemingly impossible odds, battles and hijinks, and...ahem...some romance) #MSWL

I am never going to stop loving fairytale-inspired stories like SPINNING SILVER. I want dark woods and woodsy magic, monsters that aren't what they seem, characters who take their destinies into their own hands, romance and danger, and a HEA #MSWL 3/

Ever since I became an editor, I've wanted a GARDEN SPELLS-style project--a story about tangled family ties and old friendships, about how people fracture and mend, steeped in magic and warmth and charm and set in a town that could be anywhere, and yet... #MSWL 2/

I'm craving THE CITY OF BRASS-style rich and intricate #fantasy, with complicated family dynamics, stark political tension, sweeping romance, and hard loss; stories that (respectfully) wed historical inspiration and folklore with unexpected magic and major stakes #MSWL 1/

poetry is getting me through rn. agents -- I'd really love to read more poetry collections! black and brown and queer especially #mswl

Agent friends, For what it's worth, I'm still reviewing submissions from my couch if you're still submitting! On the lookout esp for heartwarming, literary MG novels, particularly contemporary realistic, fantasy, and magical realism. Stay safe and healthy! #mswl

#MSWL:
I’m craving speculative stories about immigration & community that cast a wide net. Give me the Ellis Island “empty pockets/big dreams” classic. Give me knowledge workers, refugees, sprawling mixed-status families. Give these characters magic, spaceships, eldritch secrets.

Here’s the link to my full #MSWL and agents if we haven’t connected yet, feel free to reach out! manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/mega…

Hopeful contemporary MG that brims with heart. Think SONG FOR A WHALE. #mswl

YES PLEASE (I even wrote a #MSWL tweet about this a while ago!)

Picture books with standout/breakout characters like THE BAD SEED and MOTHER BRUCE. #mswl
