Stories where the protagonist builds their own community/family. 🫶🏼

Books that will radicalize teens/kids. 📢

Truly escapist fantasy with a world I become absolutely obsessed with! 🤯

Experimental (but not tooooo gimmicky) storytelling that just works! 👏🏼

#mswl

Looking for #YA and #MG with big, complicated family dynamics like #Succession, but kids, think: dramedy. Please though, nothing with tons of POVs #MSWL

A funny, heart-warming, layered family drama with an ensemble cast that clash socially, politically, or culturally etc. and has an interesting setting - like a Pakistani Muslim husband and an English Catholic wife who own a fish & chip shop in Salford with their seven children...

Time for another #mswl! I’d love, love, love to see some new juicy rom-com and family comedies/dramas in the #ya space. #yalit #booktwitter #books #amwriting #amquerying #amreading #writer #writers #writerslife

I have NEWS!!! I’ve added adult nonfiction to my list! I’d love to see proposals for: memoirs, spirituality/New Age, self-help, health/fitness, parenting/family, motivational/inspirational, & business. MUST be an expert & have a platform. #MSWL #WritingCommunity 1/3

Two specific #MSWL items that will be on my list when I reopen to queries:
1, survivors of family "reunification" programs (like Building Family Bridges), fictionalized or NF accounts
2, fiction that explores the unique friendships between gay men and lesbians

"Seeking generational stories of parenthood and family with non-binary and/or trans characters in the commercial or historical adult fiction genre (ie. heavy with plot!)"

I suppose it's time for me to jump in fully to #MSWL life. So here's my link: manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-item/arie…

It’s #MSWL Day! Find my profile here 📚📌manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/kris…

I’m on the lookout for family sagas, new adult-ish protagonists, and anything that explores the human experience with nuance.

I love YA that in its surface is about monsters or magic but is actually about family or community or growing up #mswl

Fiction #mswl

I mostly read to be entertained. I like to read about topics of class, social issues, motherhood/domestic issues, family, ambition, love, family, tragedy, and desire.

I liked LESSONS IN CHEMISTRY, SEVEN DAYS IN JUNE, I HAVE SOME QUESTIONS FOR YOU, THE GUNCLE 1/2

On the kidlit side, I'm looking for lovable introverts, pride in culture and identity, angsty crushes, teachable moments, belonging, and emotional range. Hints of magic, family businesses, best friend groups, complicated home situations, and underdogs are welcome. #MSWL

I'd really love to see more family sagas with old secrets that unfold over time, mothers and daughters breaking cycles of generational trauma rather than perpetuating it, and something fresh and laugh-out-loud funny in terms of non-fiction narrative. #MSWL

The updated Manuscript Wishlist website looks wonderful - what a great resource. As always, my #MSWL is broad - a multi-generational family saga; speculative; something escapist/hopeful. My full #MSWL is here: manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/cath…
