I talk a lot about how my favorite kind of literary fiction blends genres, pulling the speculative or a bit of magic into it.

And this one is a perfect, stunning example of that.

More books like @pengshepherd’s in my query box, please. #MSWL

Okay, this will be my last #mswl for a little while, but man I love multi gen family drama. If there's a nice mystery in there, or even some well placed magic - I'm in! xoxo #writingcommmunity

#MSWL Adventurous contemporary MG's with heart. A little magical realism is always welcome too!!

I am opening to YA fantasy and contemporary queries! On my YA #MSWL: fantasies that are entirely new worlds,new fairytales. No generic regency-style fantasy worlds. Bring me new applications of/restrictions on new magic, uncommonly featured stars of the story, relevant parallels.

It's only been forever and a day but I finally updated my #MSWL profile! Now including select genres of narrative non-fiction — and basically send me all your queer fiction or creepy, lyrical middle grade books! manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/moe-…

Middle Grade.

Contemporary, Fantasy, Sci-Fi, Magical Realism, Horror, Historical, and everything in between.

I want it all.

#MSWL

I have a vague idea of a millennial Practical Magic-esque book I'd love to read - friends/roommates working, dating, paying off their debt, saging their apartment & charging their crystals. (Or maybe I've just lived in LA too long? 🤷‍♀️)

Finally made a #MSWL page 🎉 Check out all the many wonderful things I would love to see on submission here: bit.ly/2GlqYhZ

And in YA fantasy, I’m always looking for a lush, fully realized world that feels fresh and new somehow—but also for compelling characters who will root the reader in the story. I’m always game for a really inventive, smart magic system, too. #MSWL

Contemporary MG novels with a speculative element, or touch of magic – very much up my alley. #MSWL

This year’s #BCBF2019 is inspiring! I’d love to find more great voice-led fiction, MG or YA, that is funny & warm & brilliant! Contemporary, maybe with a touch of magic. If you’re writing something that fits the bill, please send it my way. Oh, & graphic novels too please! #MSWL

Yes indeed!! #MSWL

YES PLEASE #MSWL

"Historical middle grade that re-rewrites history to add an element of magic." @msmariavicente #MSWL mariavicente.com/representation/

Family sagas infused with magic, like @WriterLouisa's A Secret History of Witches or @EdenRoyce's "Every Good-Bye Ain't Gone" #mswl

Things that always excite me:

1. Magic/Magic Schools
2. Dragons
3. Creepy Forest
4. Fae
5. Dark/Stabby
6. Romance/Kissy
7. Retellings
8. Witches

#MSWL

“Cozy magic” is my new eternal wish list item. EXTREME bonus points if I get a magical school with it. #mswl

#mswl - a sweeping middle grade series with heart and humor! Related, but more specifically: a middle grade series with puzzle-y elements. And, always, middle grade with magic, especially cozy magic!
