Thing I’ve noticed: my YA list skews more girl, and my MG list more boy. I’d like to balance that, but still maintaining my overarching tastes: high concept, good plots, not-issue-books, joy and exploration and fantasy (both literal and just escapism). #MSWL

A little too busy for a long #MSWL thread - but I always want high concept, X meets Y, big ideas books across the age ranges, packed full of humour and fun. Characters must be determined, goal oriented, chipper. I want joyful books. Books that make me smile. Nothing joyless!

#MSWL high-concept MG fantasy w/ series potential, preferably with a female MC

I love books with a high-concept hook, like THE DEAD QUEEN'S CLUB. #MSWL

I'd love to see high-concept, character-driven, accessible SF. #mswl

#MSWL - In MG, I will say I'd love, love to find a big middle grade series, something with heart & adventure. I'd love a sweeping MG fantasy-adventure, a new take on magical schools, or something high concept, high stakes, and FUN.

In general, I am repping picture books (nonfiction only), high-concept chapter book series, middle grade, YA selectively, & adult fiction & nonfiction. My detailed #MSWL is in the link above and will be updated regularly.

#MSWL btw if you have a high concept about a robot sex worker. Righteous murders not required but absolutely encouraged.

Call out to the universe for your epic / quirky / foot-popping / second chance / star-crossed / high concept love story - for adults or YA... would love contemporary #Persuasion, the clever structure of #500DaysofSummer, or surprise me! #mswl #summerloving ✨💕☀️🔥📚

#MSWL. RWA may have ended but I would love to find some high concept romcom. Also early 20th century-works that take place before WWII, e.g. Jazz Age and Great Depression.

In addition to historical (see my pinned tweet) I’m looking for fresh, high-concept contemporary romcoms for my list. Digital and/or mass market opportunities, depending on author track, writing schedule, and word count. Query + full to my attn via entangledpublishing.submittable.com/submit/ #MSWL

I updated my #MSWL page. I’m looking for MG, YA, kids/teen GN, and author-illustrators. Great writing a must, high concept a plus, and diversity in all ways is welcome. I love your queer, weird, funny, beautiful, nerdy SHENANIGANS. More info: manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/jenn…

I’d love to see more hook-y high concept MG + YA submissions. #MSWL

I am hungry for voice driven & high concept contemporary to round out my list (middle grade through YA!) I want to laugh, cry and feel all the feels in between #mswl

This is still true! If you're querying a middle grade or YA, I hope you will consider sending your submission my way -- I can't wait to read and I'm excited to find some projects to work on over the summer! #mswl

A Quick Update for my YA #MSWL:
I'm full on YA F, my requests for that are much less.
I'd still love a clever YA SF. I love high concept and fresh takes w/ a literary edge and great voice.
For YA Thr & Horror, again w/ fresh takes & great voices

+YA Historicals w/ literary edge

I told my dad about some of the YA projects I’m working on right now and he said, “They kinda all sound dark and sad.” Aaand he’s not wrong..? So this is a good time to remind the internet I am looking for a fun, upbeat Rom Com. Would especially love something high concept! #MSWL

4. I want a cinematic, high concept fantasy unlike anything I have seen before. I love unlikable ladies (but they must still be relatable), and I would love a single POV. Character driven is the BEST for me. With literary-esque writing. #MSWL

Keep sending those women's fiction projects and rom-coms my way! Looking for high concept & a great voice. #MSWL #WF #A

I love finding new authors and so here's my updated #MSWL! Contemporary women’s; rom-coms; high concept crime & thriller; horror; historical fiction; feminist fiction & non-fiction; compelling memoirs; popular science. thebentagency.com/sarah-hornsley
