On December 1, I'm opening to queries again. So, here is an #MSWL for #amquerying writers. <3 A note: I am only looking for nonfiction at the moment, BUT for the first time ever, I'm looking for YA nonfiction too! Weeeee!

Okay, question for all ye genies: the best romance or women's fiction novels featuring partners with significant age differences? I'll take any (LOLITA, etc.), but I'm keen on something v. healthy, good, etc., especially where you have a female gifted + precocious. (Into: #MSWL.)

“I love all the graphic novels. Send me the next LAURA DEAN, PUMPKINHEADS, or ALWAYS HUMAN.” @readbystephanie #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

Oh, this, indeed — what an acute + perceiving glance can do for one who can take it, eh? +, perhaps, where love, wisdom, + good abound, be ever-changed by it… #puzzles #rom #romCom #mswl

Oooh, just saw this, with chills + goosebumps. HELLZ. YES. Mah kind of story. #MSWL || Ye good writers: Get me something gooood, or I'll skin ya alive.

Sitting down for the reading of #queries. Let's see what I can do in a few hours, eh? Watch me. #MSWL: manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/wero…. Anything + everything goes, as long as you are magical + genie, eh? Challenges, smiles, loves, delights, + more.

I don't know if "real hype" describes it, but I'd be v. happy to find some, were I lucky enough to receive. (#MSWL)

Today we are sharing @Sarah_Nicolas #MSWL. Get those books ready!

Starting in January, Sarah and Natascha will reopen to queries! So spread the word for what Sarah wants.

“Stories featuring morally ambiguous protagonists! Give me your liars, your thieves. Your unlikeable peeps! I do NOT like reading about perpetually happy characters who spend their lives being good and moral (snooze).” @ceciliaclyra #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

#mswl 💯💯💯

I have a weird biography #mswl for any European historians with who can write cinematically and with the 100-proof WTF energy of, say, “Amadeus.” If you think you might be that person, DM me! Especially if you like a good 19th century German.

Had to make some tweaks to my #mswl page because a few updates on what I’m looking for + more books I’ve read and adored (also all my accounts are AMARI AND THE NIGHT BROTHERS stan accounts and the world should know that)

And my weirdest, ~vibey~ wishes: fierce mothers, not-quite-humanness, houses of ill repute, body weirdness, punk rock, craftsmanship, Over the Garden Wall-ish, grotesqueries, cowboys (any gender), seafaring (feminine), convents (hijinks), and characters who remind me of Roy Kent.

Some more specific interests: Religious faith and/or grappling as a lens on coming of age, generational stories, old timey cities, family secrets, hauntings, mistakes that were meant to happen, and optimism in spite of it all.

LGBTQ+ and BIPOC writers #MSWL

Elements I’m always looking for: Historical fiction that reaches across the years (particularly stories we don’t see enough), family dynamics, settings as character, interesting narrative formats, clever humor, and writing that pulls you along to the next page.

Here's your second #MSWL! "Amanda would love to see submissions that feature coming-of-age stories like Stranger Things, stories that trend more psychological than bloody, and fresh takes on Gothic or haunted house stories." @wensday95
