I'm still looking for a funny middle-grade novel in the vein of Rick Riordan Presents. Other comps include Ms. Marvel, ATLA, or a really gay School for Good and Evil. #MSWL

Someone send a book with a protag like Niecy Nash in Rookie: Feds! So beautiful, smart, funny, and quick witted, but also finding killers. #mswl #CrimeFiction @ABCNetwork @TheRookieFeds @NiecyNash

Re-tweeting because it's still true! Sunshine Vicram, Finlay Donovan, bring me your ass-kicking, mystery solving, funny, independent women. #mswl

💕 Romance 🏳️‍🌈

Including LGBTQ+ romance, YA romance and romantic comedy. I would love an adult Heartstopper or Love Frankie, as well as rom com that is laugh-out-loud funny.

Would love to see more #NF humorous science books like this in my inbox! #MSWL

If you have funny, currently relevant, science nonfiction #kidlit or #A Adult lit, please message me for query details.

PB:
funny picture books by queer, BIPOC, marginalized authors that have nothing to do with identity. Give me the next CREEPY UNDERWEAR or DON’T LET THE PIGEON DRIVE THE BUS or PENGUIN PROBLEMS or LLAMA DESTROYS THE UNIVERSE

illustrators and author-illustrators

MG:
funny, heartfelt action-adventure featuring queer, BIPOC, marginalized voices, ideally with some magic or fantastical elements

For younger readers, I want clever, funny and an immediate hook. I’m particularly interested in author/illustrators and graphic novel creators for this area, but I’d love to see them in other spaces too!

And, finally, and in perpetuity until I find it, give me a funny, commercial middle-grade mystery series told in first person by a BIPOC lead! #MSWL

Hiya! It’s #mswl day @TheTobiasAgency! I rep #kidlit, PB-YA, F and NF. Full wishlist can be found via the link in my bio, but today I am craving laugh-out-loud funny MG and YA, any genre, just make me laugh! Bonus if the book can also make me tear up. Tagging @SoCalledYALife!

#mswl

Thinking of how much of my grandmother was the matriarch of my family, I’d love to see a sweet/funny middle grade novel (any genre) with a substantial grandparent-grandchild dynamic!

A #MSWL update; I'm opening the floodgates to paranormal romance. If you have a fresh take on PR (moving away from supernatural detectives and government officials preferably), I want it in my inbox. It could be funny, angsty, or somewhere in between!

A day off means a day for reading #kidlit! I'm jumping into my @starryforestbooks inbox & can't wait to read your funny, inspiring, beautiful stories! If you've been thinking about querying us, today's the perfect day! #amquerying #pb #cb #MSWL #amwriting manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/amy-…

P.S. Yes to the #MSWL

Although I’m also very eager to find happy, funny stories with strong family relationships that, while not perfect, are loving and healthy for the most part.

Character focused ensemble casts with uplifting, earnest, funny plot lines like Ted Lasso or Our Flag Means Death. #MSWL

And on the middle grade and YA side, I want funny, I want adventure, I want completely new, never-seen-before characters and settings, I want high-concept romances, lots of friendship and heart, just phenomenal stories and journeys all over🚀🌴

FUNNY PICTURE BOOKS ABOUT BLACK AND BROWN KIDS PLEASE THANKS #mswl (this tweet comes apropos of nothing except it's what my brain is always screaming)

MG:
- Adventure stories with strong friendship groups, think City Spies or The Last Day of Summer.
- Fantasy in the vein of Tristan Strong, or Aru Shah.
- Horror, horror, horror! Creepy, crawly, funny & subversive. Think The Incorrigible Children of Ashton Place (4/6) #mswl
