Happy Halloween and here's an article I wrote for The History Channel on "A Brief History of Trick-or-Treating” #Halloween #HappyHalloween #TrickorTreat #Halloween2022 #mswl #mswishlist #literaryagents lincolnslunch.blogspot.com

Also, if any teachers follow me, I’d like to find some non-fiction education/pedagogy/teaching guide books.

Surprise! I’m opening to queries November 1st-18th! While I love picture books, I have a lot of them on sub so I’m hoping to find:

-YA fantasy, paranormal, or horror (no gore!)
-Adult fantasy or thrillers
-MG mystery

"I want unique, genre-blending romance novels. I wish I had worked on THE PLUS ONE by Sarah Archer or any of Roselle Lim’s breathtaking romantic contemporary fantasy novels. Give me an adult rom com in space, or with magic."

I literally love sports romance even though I know nothing about sports. can someone please send me a sports romance about olympians?! two gymnasts?! A skiier and a hockey player?! 😳 #mswl

Agent Update: I am officially back open to queries! #MSWL is updated here: manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/susa… I look forward to reading some AMAZING queries! 💕📚✏️😀

Clarifying once more:

It's not the enemies to lovers part of this that got me.

It's the reluctant allies to friends to heartbreaking betrayal
But ofc in my #MSWL version we go from betrayed and broken hearted to acceptance, lovers and sexy corruption arcs

Yes!!! This!!! #MSWL

"I'm actively seeking fun / funny gift books, especially with a lifestyle twist to them. I'm open to a really wide range of topics on this one, so be creative!"

Love this. Enemies to lovers (& vice versa) is a trope I'm a huge sucker for, not to mention sympathetic villains (like Xu Wenwu) and heroes who are willing to be perceived as or who become villainous for noble reasons in the vein of The Dark Knight or Simon/Ice King #mswl

If she had a meet cute with a girl there for the very same reason I would be totally into this just saying #MSWL

GUYS! No matter how amazing it is, I DON'T ACQUIRE CONTEMPORARY. Only fantasy or sci-fi (or any sub genre thereof) romance. What I REALLY want is a High heat, under 75K words. Things I'd love to see:
Why Choose?
Fae
Monster romance #MSWL

Would love to find a MG "monsters in a cornfield" sort of book with an authentic super small town setting written by a writer who's actually lived in a small town. #mswl

"I want adult fiction or YA graphic novels comping DEAD BY DAYLIGHT or HOCUS POCUS that are character-driven and emotional."

On the horrors, an ensemble cast is a plus but not necessary. And I’m definitely interested in haunted house stories… or basically some good atmospheric horror where the setting might play a part of the horror. #mswl

Really looking for some great #PsychologicalThriller or #horror stories right now! Either adult or ya! Also, I’m on the lookout for some great romcoms! So in other words, I want you to spook me, but then I’ll laugh about it. 😉 #mswl

This is my new answer to the question “What book do you wish you worked on?” Hilarious, informative, very impressive bouncy text that begs to be sang, so clever and unexpected! #MSWL

Happy Halloween weekend! Before you hit that sugar high remember that I am reopening my query manager at QueryManager.com/2099. I am also prepping new pitches for 2023. I am a pop culture junkie nerd but appreciate grounded stories giving new voices a chance.

#MSWL is coming.

This is such a great story! Definitely in my #MSWL now

Grateful to Aparna every time for telling it like it is.

Also #mswl again cuz duh
