My top MG genres right now are contemporary, horror, historical fiction, and fantasy. Across all genres, I'm eager to see submissions by authors from underrepresented communities. #mswl

I'd love to see standalone stories that address difficult and/or weighty topics in age-appropriate, compassionate, and thoughtful ways, and that are ultimately hopeful, as well as stories that increase the diversity of experiences reflected in MG literature. #mswl

@JollyFishPress is now OPEN to submissions for the months of February/March. (We'll reopen later in the year as well.) Submission guidelines are here: shop.northstareditions.com/jolly-fish-press-submission-guidelines/

My full #mswl is here: manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/meg-gaertner/

But here are some items I'd like to highlight:

#kidlit #pb #authors - today's the last day of Open Submissions for @CardinalRulePrs .

No specific #MSWL but I'd really love a story that meets all the guidelines below and is told with energy and humor.

Always voice driven, often funny, sometimes heartbreaking... Characters are key for me! I can fix a plot. 🤓 I am not great with genre fiction, though there are exceptions if the writing is irresistible to me.

I'm getting a lot of submissions in two categories lately, so maybe it's worth saying on here: I'm not looking to acquire more novels in verse at this moment, and my picture book list is quite limited. Right now, my #mswl is skewed toward mg and YA.

as we wrap up Jan 2024 (kinda) I would just like to say: agents, please send more POC YA fantasy and YA romance my way pls and thnx #mswishlist #mswl

Agents: If you have a comp to @blacktapespod I want it! #MSWL

Agents: If you have anything like Podcase @Archive81 Season 3, we NEED to talk! #MSWL

Hi, agents!

New year, new #mswl :

manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/nicole-luongo/

For those I haven’t yet connected with, my name is Nicole and I’m acquiring for @parkrowbooks . Please feel free to reach out—I’d love to meet you!

Let’s find our book match in 2024. 🎉📚

#MSWL for sapphic romantasy that has the energy of that one woman in WWE, you know who I mean

Edinburgh Seven x Historical Fantasy x Dark Academia #mswl

With all this snow, I would love to find a locked-room thriller in the middle of a blizzard, or a mountaineering thriller where the characters get trapped on a mountain #mswl

Agents: Send me a story that reads the way a @Hozier song feels! #MSWL #Swoon

Agents: One of my favorite movies is Under the Tuscan Sun. If you have something that has similar vibes (does not have to be Italy) send it my way! #MSWL

Agents: I crave a 90's-esque sweep-me-off-my-feet romantic masterpiece. Think The Holiday, You've Got Mail, Sleepless In Seattle. Give me female gazey protagonists and at least one good reason to cry, then laugh, then cry again! #MSWL

I updated my #MSWL page for the first time in... a decade? And I'm looking forward to reading some great submissions in 2024.

Agents, among other things, I'd love to find a feel-good underdog sports story to weep over and/or edit. Hit me up! manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/katherine-harrison/

Hello! ICYMI: I’m now an editor at Entangled and am open to submissions! You can find my #MSWL below:

entangledinromance.com/2024/01/12/editor-wish-lists-for-january-2024/

This was part of my #MSWL for 2023 and I am carrying it over to 2024 because I am dying for more thriller/suspense in my inbox!

I think this needs to be a picture book …like, immediately! 🐭🥰
