contemporary middle grade stories of friendship or family – potentially with a touch of magic #mswl

#MSWL Also fully watching The Crown and Reign right now and looking for court intrigue, especially in courts we haven't seen much from! Mary Queen of Scots? The Spain monarchy? Maybe French Sun King type of court intrigue? Especially with LGBTQIA+ characters and maybe magic?

I finally made my #MSWL page! Agent friends, check out what I'm currently craving to see in my inbox, I'd love to connect on a project!

Always looking to work with new amazing writers - take a peek at my #MSWL to see what I’m looking for manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/jess…

I also really want an atmospheric magical realism book in MG or YA. #MSWL

And if you have made it this far in my fan girling, you might have noticed that the genres I DON'T HAVE. Which is why I am looking for:

-Graphic Novels
-Nonfiction
-Historical Fiction
-Magical Realism

In addition to my fantasy and contemporary list. #MSWL

I'm also always looking for magical girls (or women) generally. :) #mswl #magicalrealism

Always looking for manuscripts that feature #blackgirlmagic. #mswl #pleaseandthankyou Any genre.

Make it magic and add it to my #MSWL x1000000

“Fantasy (urban or otherwise) dealing with the diaspora of a magical community—how does the magic change/thrive?” @kurestinarmada #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

Unique magical realism with a tint of mystery a la BONE GAP #mswl

LOVE the French cover of THE HAZEL WOOD, by Melissa Albert, one of my favorite 2018 #YA reads!

P.S. I would love to find a fantasy grounded in our reality like THE HAZEL WOOD. it is so much fun to think magic might exist, if only we look in the right place.

#MSWL

For YA, same kind of deal. Strong voice. Strong concept/plot. Escapism, fantasy, sci-fi, speculative, magical realism—all awesome. Not crazy about depressing, issue-heavy books. No horror/thriller for me. #mswl #ya

Middle grade! I have like...one MG author on my list right now and he's lonely. Voicey but high-concept would be super. Clever. Magic. Adventure. Mystery. Just no grief/sicklit books for me. #mswl #mg

I'm looking for fresh chapter books with a diverse protagonist and possibly some magical realism. #MSWL

#MSWL, adult edition: epistolary; multi-generational family saga; magical realism; contemporary fantasy; speculative; southern Gothic; millennial fiction; romantic comedy

#MSWL, YA edition: The Hating Game, but YA; romantic comedy; epistolary; poppy feeling Fantasy; super dark fantasy; contemporary fantasy (think The Raven Boys); historical mystery; magical realism

#MSWL adult fantasy (epic/high) in world inspired by less-seen-in-SFF cultures. No vamps, weres, witch/wiz, god/Angel, fae/elf, elemental/spellcasting etc tropes - instead show me NEW magic, NEW creatures, or wild twisty fantasy world/political structures.

Show me something bizarre and outside the normal, with a dynamic fantasy structure, journeys and trickery and twists. Show me how cunning, courage, and wit can make any character's magic win - or save - the world. Show me dialogue that sparks with character and voice. #mswl

So show me a chef, a medicine woman, a food runner, a hairdresser, a shoemaker, an assistant who has the potential to outshine their superior but has yet to discover/reveal it. Let their magic be small but let them find a way to make it ignite in their favor. #mswl
