Posting my most updated #mswl for @shaherazadshelf . Always looking for:

-Muslim characters
-ownvoice second world fantasy
-cozy/magic-less fantasy (but yes to mythical creatures)
-books for 14,15 yo readers & 8,9 yo readers

Other specifics: ABOVE ALL, I prioritize diverse own voices from marginalized communities which is why November is diverse only. I am open to queer romance of all genres and age groups. I would love more author / illustrators for graphic novels and picture books. #MSWL (4/6)

Ok, agents and authors. It's me! Your friendly, local editor. I'm starting to build my 2026 list. Interested in what I'm looking for? Sure, you are. Here's my #mswl .

manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/ariell-cacciola/

Right now I'm very interested in:
- dark academia that emphasizes the academics
- eco/climate fiction
- thrillers that aren't centered on/launched by murder
- #ownvoices folklore from cultures that are underrepresented in the English market
#mswl

BIG #MSWL item for me:

Upmarket fiction, #ownvoices #Indigenous stories that feature sports. Think Olympics, long-distance running, rock-climbing, snow sports, mountaineering, etc.

Ideally with strong character arcs and a commercially appealing external plot.

And here's some extras.

Maggie Sadler is looking for #OwnVoices stories written by Native and Indigenous authors. She is primarily interested in #LitFic , #HistoricalFiction , and #MagicalRealism . Check out the link below for more of Maggie's #MSWL and her querying info!

This book was a favorite of mine growing up. Would love a adult version that is written by #ownvoice (as I don’t think this was). #mswl

I'm finally open to submissions again: My #MSWL is here: manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/julie-crisp/ Super excited to see what comes in! 🥳🥳

I'd also love to see #ownvoices Latin-America-inspired mythological fantasy. It could be contemporary, historical, or a fresh retelling.

Anything featuring my favourite animal gets bonus attention.

ABOVE ALL, I am looking for #ownvoices stories and books from POC / marginalized creators. We need more diverse stories. Period. I will do anything and everything I can to make sure more people, especially children, are represented in published books. #MSWL

#amwriting #kidlit #WritingCommunity #amquerying

For the romance genre, some of the keywords that pique my interest in a query are: sapphic, #ownvoices, rom-coms, historical, nerdy, fun, fantastical, rivalry, and academia.

If your query contains one or two (or more) of these words, I'd love to read it!

with all due respect to the totally understandable flush of kpop boy group romances, where is my #ownvoices kpop girl group thriller, give me the full frances cha here - the wealth of cultural knowledge, the sharp eye towards beauty, commodity, and performed intimacy #mswl
