I love a merry group of smugglers and outlaws as much as the next Firefly and Farscape fan, but there's something about that shipboard command structure, large fleets and naval battles that I'm just not seeing in current submissions. #mswl #manuscriptwishlist

#manuscriptwishlist #mswl I want sci-fi with the same spacefarers-as-seafarers feel as the best Star Trek series. Master and Commander but in space. Drama on the bridge. Mutiny in the lower decks. Emotions (mostly) repressed because the chain of command doesn't allow for them.

💕character & voice-driven stories of first love, queer awakening, enemies/rivals to lovers, tension, yearning, forbidden romance; complex characters trying their best; stakes that feel world-ending or that are literally world-ending; intersectionality (BIPOC, queer, disabled); trans; Indigenous 💕

For MG: poignant novels in verse à la Thanhhà Lại, Jacqueline Brown; fantasy/speculative exploring profound themes à la The Last Cuentista or The Girl Who Drank the Moon; survival stories like Hatchet or Alone; silly & humorous illustrated like The Last Kids on Earth or Dav Pilkey; mysteries 2/3

Hi agents, I’m on the hunt for high-concept layered YA & MG novels! #MSWL

For YA: romantic fantasy; dark academia; mystery/thrillers like We Were Liars or Firekeeper’s Daughter; thought-provoking horror or gothic; romantic coming of age like Aristotle & Dante & Last Night at the Telegraph Club 1/3

Adult genre fiction, especially horror (send all your horror!!!), mystery/thriller, and romance. Selectively happy to consider sci-fi and fantasy.

And as many know I’ve spent a long time in children’s, and I’m still considering all children’s titles for Zando. Many more…

Overjoyed to share that after almost ten years (and moving to NYC in 2016), I’m now an Editor. It’s been a fulfilling, whirlwind journey full of retail, internships, and many bookish things. #Agents if we haven’t (or have) discussed #mswl please reach out. I’m looking for

Hi publishing folx! My new #MSWL is live!
manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/erinn-pascal/

Agent friends! My first read of the year was Tasha Suri's THE ISLE IN THE SILVER SEA, and I loved it! If you have any YA projects with similar elements (lady knights, sapphic yearning, time loops, stories about stories, did I mention sapphic yearning??), please please send them my way! #MSWL

i’m looking for agented authors of color interested in writing new adult contemporary romance for our new adult imprint, requited. any agents i can connect with on this? #mswl

Y’all, I’m watching Beyond Skinwalker Ranch and I had an #MSWL thought: rival ufologists a la Skinwalker Ranch Travis and Ancient Aliens Giorgio but make it cozy and queer.

#mswl I'd love to see some more horror novellas and story collections in my inbox!

In addition, I'm looking for adult genre fiction, ranging from romance, mystery/thriller, and selectively sci-fi and fantasy. #Agents send me the things that blur genre too. #mswl

For #agents , taking my annual submission reminder from X to bsky to shout out the top of my #mswl is adult horror, especially would love to see more diverse voices, body horror, psychological, camp/humor, novella, story collection, and more. If it sits firmly in horror, I would love to see it!

Keeping everyone on their toes with this wee drive by submission window

I'm open to unagented manuscripts until Sunday evening

#mswl #booksky #writingoppurtunity

Annual reminder to literary agents that I’m on the hunt for more adult horror projects.

I’d especially love #mswl to find stories steeped in rage; unexpected settings; new voices or voices established in horror. I’m hungry for it all!

Agent friends: I zoomed through the audiobook of VERITY VOX AND THE CURSE OF FOXFIRE this weekend and it was great and had everything I want in a YA fantasy. Cool witchy magic! A fun voice! Cozy, but still important stakes! SAPPHIC!!!

If you have anything like this, send it my way? :) #MSWL

My life was a puzzle that didn’t make sense until I embraced being queer and genderfluid. #mswl more queer books, especially for MG/YA and new adult graphic novels and literary YA/coming-of age like Aristotle & Dante Discover the Sectets of the Universe or Last Night at the Telegraph Club

I’m really obsessed with Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 (no spoilers, please!)

And I’d love to see unique worlds or premises like this in my fantasy #mswl
