This dreary NYC fall weather also has me in the mood for something spooky. Either ghostly, creepy MG or thriller YA. #MSWL

And last one for now, YA love stories! Funny or heart-breaking or anything in-between. I'm on the rom com bandwagon after To All the Boys and Crazy Rich Asians just like everyone else and always love a heart-tugging romance, too. #MSWL

YA thrillers that feel surprising and new. I'm a murderino at heart and am currently loving Sadie by Courtney Summers. Also would really love to see thrillers written by POC writers and other writers from marginalized backgrounds. I know they're out there! #MSWL

#MSWL Contemporary fantasy that breaks the mold so hard its like the mold never even existed. No urban bounty-hunters, no small-town detectives, etc. New characters, new settings, new plots, and new perspectives only. Show me something new!

#MSWL - Christian romance only (contemporary, historical, or romantic suspense). Looking for stellar writing, strong characters, unique plots.

Happy #MSWL day! Resharing my page which has a pretty good list of what I'm looking for. manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/mega…

Adult fairytale retellings with emotional complexity, warmth, and grit. #MSWL

Also, weird books that can't easily be categorized! A.S. King and Emily X.R. Pan's Astonishing Color of After are favorites. Speculative books that break rules and push boundaries. #MSWL

A little fall submission #MSWL! At the top of my list is YA contemporary realistic that is emotional and layered and classic coming-of-age. This summer I loved Stay Sweet by Siobhan Vivian and We Are Okay by Nina LaCour. Two different books that really got it.

My #mswl: quirky, humorous #kidlit with heart. Throw some girl power in the mix and you're golden!

#mswl SFF about mothers or parent figures whose children aren't dead but are still able to go on adventures.

#mswl Deep, rich space opera with lots of aliens and multiverses and political machinations

::slides in: One more! Real historical events retold in secondary world fantasy settings: Hannibal's march on Rome, the rise of Shaka Zulu, Spanish Inquisition, Japanese colonialism, etc. #MSWL

#MSWL:
Contemporary, emotional love stories
Sweeping historical fiction
Smart, elevated thrillers
Novels in verse
Picture books with STEM hooks
Anything else that’s voice driven, literary, and innovative!

#mswl Fantasy with good animal companions.

#mswl Adult SFF Graphic Novels

#mswl I want dense, thinky, hard SF by women. Show me the physics or the biology or the chemistry behind your world, and I'm all in.

#mswl I want fantasy with warmth to it. Write me a young girl and her horse named Lucky that go on adventures and fight against dragons and emotional hurt.
