#MSWL

I love histories about real, bad@$$, quirky, or hilarious women who defied societal expectations. Come at me with a (well-researched) story about Julie d'Aubigny, Wu Zetian, Cheng I Sao, or Anne Bonny and Mary Read's unusual friendship, anything in that vein.

Similarly, I would love to see a Gilded Age Historical Fiction submission exploring witchcraft and female family/friendship relationships—think Practical Magic meets The Social Graces

#amwritingfiction #writerscommunity #MSWL I'd like this historical novel please--friendship story, intergenerational story, beach read with depth and heart

I want to see more asexual, demisexual, gray ace, aromatic, and all the ace spectrum rep. More platonic relationships. Best friend romances. No sex, just cuddle romcoms. There just isn't enough. #MSWL

native representation! nature conservation! universal lessons abt friendship and community and family! adventure and whimsy! I love it all. #mswl

What I do love to see in the YA Contemporary field are thrillers, hauntings that can toe the line of horror without going overboard, rom-coms, friendship break ups, and grandparent relationships. I especially love to see all this with BIPOC and/or LGBTQIA+ characters. #mswl

I'd love a book club (still commercial) submission that explores the concept of love between friends in a non-toxic way and the impact of those 'breakups' and how people change together over time. It's huge and devastating and so often glossed over. #mswl

Agents! I am eager for new, exciting acquisitions and I updated my #mswl to prove it! Check out what I’m looking for here (spoiler alert: subversive horror, witty rom coms, & unique genre mash-ups): manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/alis…

i'm finally open to queries! check out what I want here: manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/kati… on #MSWL and query me here: querymanager.com/query/2696

Well, the secret's out. YA has crept into my heart through some of my clients so I am opening queries to the rest of y'all. :)

I'm looking for: YA horror (lite), YA paranormal (ghost stories), and YA thriller. Keep it weird and spooky, my friends. #mswl

Friendship stories—break up, make up, fall in love…any of the above, any age category. There DOES NOT need to be a romantic element.

"Intense, twisty stories about best friends set against the backdrop of competitive, high-stakes, art-based industries: this is what I live for!"

So excited to be back open to queries (a little late thanks to covid). Send me your mysteries, thrillers, complex families, kids on bikes (moms/older friends on bikes, too) and Midwest/prairie-set stories. Full #mswl @ nelsonagency.com

At last, I have a profile on ManuscriptWishList.com. My current wish list is live, though I'll continue to tweet new and specific items as they come to me. #MSWL

In all things, I love enemies to lovers, enemies to friends, lovers in denial, reluctant heroines/heroes, underdogs, close family bonds, faux baddie, I’m missing a ton, but there’s only so much space – I love a lot and the premise and strong writing will be what hook me. #MSWL

“I love novels that deal with female relationships. Think: best friends; mother-and-daughter(s); sisters (including twins!); sisters-in-law; mother-in-law and daughter-in-law; and girlfriends.” @ceciliaclyra #MSWL

And for MG contemporary, I'm on the hunt for affecting, voice-y middle grade with a hooky premise, friendship, and emotional depth--coming-of-age books that tow the literary-commercial line like Dan Gemeinhart's and Erin Entrada Kelly's books! #MSWL

Excited to announce that September 1st, I'll be a Literary Associate with @OlswangerLiterary and I am open to queries. You can check out my MSWL before submitting. manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/mich…
