Some specific #MSWL cravings I’ve had these days for my YA list:

-high-concept post apocalyptic
-a romantic gothic/horror mystery
-beautiful, voicey trans/genderqueer anything
-yearning/longing vibes
-enemies/rivals to lovers
-twisted romance
-dark academia in a non-European setting

Y'all know Jess always wants gothic vibes. Old houses, eerie landscapes, creeping dread. Horror? Mystery? Literary? Doesn’t matter. If your book feels like a haunted house you can’t leave, send it. #MSWL

My queries are open! Please make sure your work matches my MSWL (link in bio) :) #mswl

Excited to announce the official release of my #MSWL !! 💜✨ Please note that I will be opening to queries MARCH 3, 2025. In the meantime, I can't wait to see what will pop in the box in the near future 🥳

It's #MSWL day, you say? I have one of those! And it just got a shiny new update for 2025: featherflores.com/mswl/

Lots of specifics in here—give it a peek! ✨ I'm especially hungry for YA fantasy, romantasy, and gothic vibes rn. Agents, please reach out if something's a fit (or just to say hi 💞).

I’d rather read mss that attempt difficult things and execute them pretty well than ones that attempt what’s easy and execute it flawlessly. Dream big #MSWL ! Open for submissions in May, read more about what I'm interested in at www.manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/ch... lfpbooks.bsky.social

- anything inspired by reality TV (bonus points for Traitors, Love Island, or the Bachelor inspo!)

- gothic romance, gothic horror, and horroromance of all kinds!

-BIPOC romantasy

#mswl

💀 Atmospheric gothic horror with a cultural connection
💀 If it could be an A24 movie, I want to read it
💀 I like my horror with a side of societal commentary
💀 Confronting fear that develops our main character
💀 I like slow-burn surprise horror as much as an action-packed page-turner

Born on mountain time, The Witches of El Paso really resonated with me. It’s got an atmospheric gothic vibe in a city filled with community and family drama. I always love it when the setting comes to life in a nostalgic way and want to see more of this kind of work in my query inbox ✨ #mswl

Romantasy is fine but the fantasy elements MUST be strong! 2. Horror: Psychological and paranormal horror in particular but will consider slashers. Love gothic horror. Generally not fazed by gory content.
