In both YA and Adult/NA I want plot forward books, generational stories, female-driven, complex families. Magical realism, especially when linked to Hispanic origins.

I'm really keen to see some more cosy fantasy submissions in my inbox. A hug in book form please. I want characters you would die for by the end, kindness, warmth, platonic friendships, found family, love in all it's forms... #MSWL

Hyper-specific I LOVE: Ensemble Casts; Found family; QPR (queerplatonic relationships); Time travel/multiverse jumping; witch covens as femme solidarity; Non-traditional sports (roller derby, parkour, pro wresting); Tabletop RPGs (and it doesn’t just have to be D&D!)

YA and up: Family dramas that make you LOL or weep, no in between; Cute romances; kids trying to find their people and find themselves on the way; All sorts of spec-fic; all kinds of horror; cyber/solar-punk, with an emphasis on the punk; books that will radicalize kids

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 love picture books about family traditions/cultural traditions, especially when there is food, cooking, baking, or recipes involved."

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
