Very happy to be participating in the first bsky.app #MSWL event! Looking for adult fiction -- contemporary, historical, magical realism/speculative, romance....
www.manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/kevan-lyon/

Looking for an immersive novel, with either a contemporary, historical or dual timeline. A dose of magic is always welcome but not absolutely necessary. I love stories of strong women doing unexpected things, relationship stories and a love story at the heart of a novel is never a bad idea. #MSWL

Happy #MSWL Day!
I'm a Senior Editor at Diversion Books acquiring adult genre fiction.
Agents, I'd love to find:
-a darkly funny thriller with a female protagonist
-psychological suspense
-historical fantasy set around the founding of the U.S., from a BIPOC perspective
-feminist horror and retellings
-super spicy romantasy
-any thriller, sci-fi/fantasy, horror by a Latine writer

Also in Historical, I'm interested in seeing the clash of art/artists and war/politics play out on the page, similar to Fiona Davis’s The Chelsea Girls, Elyse Durham’s Maya & Natasha, or Nicole Galland’s Boy. Also, stolen art. Or how creatives reflected or reacted to tumultuous time periods. #MSWL

Hey it's #MSWL Day! Great to have manuscriptwishlist.bsky.social here. What I'm looking for:

-YA thriller/low fantasy blends; think RIPLEY meets TUCK EVERLASTING.
-YA historical procedural. I want a teen ALIENIST.
-MG dark fantasy GNs. An 11 year old exorcist? Sure!
-Weird! Weird everything!

In Historical Fiction, I'd love to see a pair or group of unlikely female companions, like Kate Quinn’s The Briar Club or Maurice Carlos Ruffin’s The American Daughters, preferably in a plot of intrigue, secrets, and spies. #MSWL

Happy #MSWL day!
Some things I'm really excited to see in my inbox this year.
* Queer Stories - bonus points if they're joyful (but they don't have to be)
* Romance - bonus points if they're queer
* Stories highlighting strong female friendships
* Historicals from underrepresented voices
...

I'm participating in #MSWL Day! I've been working through my queries, and I'm almost ready to re-open. (Estimate: March 10) I'll be posting throughout today, and I'm so excited to see new subs in these areas: #fantasy #speculative #adventure #historical #mystery #suspense #horror

#MSWL Looking for a very narrow category: women's historical fiction about Mizrachi and Sephardic Jews

I am looking for thrillers and crime fiction of all types; book club and historical fiction that moves me and makes me think (including novels featuring fantasy/mythology/science fiction). In non-fiction, books which open up the conversation and take me on a journey. #mswl

I am now accepting queries for more genres: romance, historical, inspirational and humor fiction. YOu can submit here: querytracker.net/query/3237 #MSWL

Query opening update and #MSWL ✨

- I love historical fiction and I love learning about something new! Bonus points if it’s pre 1800s, not white, and has gay stuff

on the romance side of things, i'm widening my #mswl to include historical romance, particularly from/about marginalized prespectives, especially if it's sapphic. think olivia waite, cat sebastian (i esp loved her bisexual disasters novel THE PERFECT CRIMES OF MARIAN HAYES), etc.

WWII gets a lot of love, but we want untold eras and hidden histories. Historical fiction that spotlights overlooked perspectives or extraordinary moments? We’re hooked. 🕰️ #MSWL

#MSWL Women's historical fiction about non-Ashkenazi Jews, that is, Mizrachi, Sephardic and Beta Israel (Ethiopian) communities.

Here is my updated #MSWL for winter 2025. I will be opening back up to unsolicited queries at the end of the month. If I’ve requested materials from you please send me a DM for my query link.

Now that I’m more situated in 2025, just thought I’d re-share what I’m looking for at my #MSWL link below!
