My eight-year-old son is devouring historical fiction. Anyone writing history stories for kids? #MSWL #amquerying

Resharing my wishlist as I am actively looking for new clients 👇🏻 #mswl #amquerying #amwriting

And this Fall I’ll circle back to Adult fiction in other categories, including fantasy, historical, and romance. Keep reading for details. 🧵

officially adding this tweet to my #mswl

@bandherbooks thank you for your service 🫡

For fiction, I'm looking for authors who write thrillers, suspense, espionage, historical, literary, mystery and horror. Contact in bio. #MSWL #amquerying

i feel like i've said this before but i will say again that i would love a YA or MG historical fiction set during the AIDS epidemic! #mswl

#MSWL Just binged Arsenal Military Academy (the C-drama) & I'd LOVE to see stories w/similar weird-but-they-REALLY-work, squad goal friendships!

Happy to see romance/fantasy/historical or other genres here! Would love boarding school settings, big friendships/staked adventure!

Hi, all! I’m open to queries again starting today! Here are some specifics about what I’m on the hunt for but you can read my longer wishlist (and access my query form!) here: corvisieroagency.com/alexandra-grana.html

My MSWL can be found on, well, MSWL: manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/zachary-honey/

In short: I'm still in the thriller game. Looking for rural set thrillers, mysteries, select horror and select historical fiction. Bring it on!

Here are the main differences in my MSWL from last year:

-In the MG space, I'm only now open to upper MG (protagonists 12+)

-Open more to contemporary fantasy, less to genre fantasy

-Open less to PBs with animal casts

-Narrower parameters on historical and dystopian

Historical: I prefer stories stories set in lesser-told times in history that feature underrepresented perspectives and have a human-interest element alongside the education (HER REBEL HIGHNESS by Diana Ma).

Historical and dystopian: I'm open to works set up to 100 years in the past or the future. I also learned in my first year that I don't tend to connect with projects set farther away in time.

Starting a fresh week with an updated MS wishlist🤩
