Literature meets lepidopterology - I’d love to rep a lepidopterist with an interesting middle grade non-fiction proposal about lepidopterists - esp female ones #MSWL

It's only been forever and a day but I finally updated my #MSWL profile! Now including select genres of narrative non-fiction — and basically send me all your queer fiction or creepy, lyrical middle grade books! manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/moe-…

I’m focusing a lot in Adult as well—women’s fiction, fantasy, and historical. With WF I want to see upmarket book club fiction (ELEANOR OLIPHANT) and romcoms (MEET CUTE). I want lyrical, historically-inspired fantasy (EMPIRE OF SAND, Juliet Marillier, anything witches). #mswl

Narrative non-fiction: “Within culture I’m looking for diverse takes on current events, politics, niche cultures and interesting voices.” @maureen_moretti #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

I’d also LOVE a cool, cinematic spec novel or contained sci-fi. Something catchy, like “TITANIC but in a newly opened underwater resort” or FAST & FURIOUS meets I don’t know what... Basically, I love when the concept has a *wow* factor. #mswl

Completely obsessed with WOMEN'S WORK by @Megankstack --- well written, timely, engrossing. Hoping that an equally brilliant nonfiction proposal from this #WritingCommunity will make its way to my inbox. #MSWL #amreading

I’d love to get in more Women’s/General fiction! Here’s my current #MSWL: Multicultural stories; Women in STEM; High-concept historical; Millennial characters/themes; or Queer fiction. Can be a combination of any of the above.

#mswl (nonfic or romance) after I open to queries again on June 1!

I'd love to find high concept women's fiction and general commercial fiction, as well as creative contemporary fantasy - stories grounded in our world but w/a magical twist (for teens or adults).

1. This is the first time I've heard of this!! Thank you for doing the Lord's work!

2. Make it at least a little bit magical/speculative and shove it in my inbox ASAP, thank you #MSWL

I'm starting to catch up on my submissions. I've answered all queries and have read all submissions sent before January 15th. To celebrate, I'm reposting my pretty #MSWL pic.

#MSWL: On the hunt for some non-fiction! I'm a huge fan of pop culture (I worked with actors for 8 years and am an avid television fan), true crime (no mobs or cartels), and books about mental health (I recently read On Edge: A Journey Through Anxiety which I related to A LOT).

"Non-fiction like Matthew Crawford's SHOP CLASS AS SOULCRAFT." @CurtisPSLA #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

"I really, really want more illustrated nonfiction. Ex: WHAT WE SEE IN THE STARS, LITERARY WITCHES. Or maybe something prescriptive and workbook-ish like THE CURATED CLOSET." @msmariavicente #MSWL mariavicente.com/representation/

"Women’s Fiction like CHARLOTTE WALSH LIKES TO WIN, FAMILY TRUST, EVERGREEN TIDINGS FROM THE BAUMGARTNERS and SEVEN DAYS OF US." @carlywatters #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

I’m still waiting for this manuscript. (It can be non-fiction...) #MSWL

I'd also love to find mind-bendy, genre twisting stories that feel in the vein of my recent Netflix obsessions Black Mirror, Russian Doll, The OA, and Dark. That obviously includes a huge range, but they're all contemporary-rooted stories with speculative elements woven in. #MSWL

Inspired by @FriendZonePod’s Industry Plant episode, @AintTooProud show on The Temptations, and Beyoncé’s forthcoming #Homecoming doc, I’d love a character driven behind-the-music style book. Fiction or non-fiction, YA or adult. #mswl

Today seems like a good time to mention that I would love to see more books about space, whether fiction or nonfiction #MSWL
