I'm a total softie who releases all the spiders in my house, but this is truly a touching story. Is this a picture book yet? #mswl

🚨 Alice is reopening only to YA and crossover fantasy queries. Think romantasy, Legends & Lattes, Stardew Valley. Recent favourites include:

"My taste in nonfiction is eclectic: no title is too serious or too accessible. And I'm open to all categories *except* for sports, music, and true crime."

I'm slowly catching up on my requested reading and planning to reopen to submission Feb 1st!

I'll put together a little twitter #mswl for what I'm on the hunt for. I know the timing's right because I'm really excited to see new queries! 🥹🥹

I would love to see a horror submission that takes inspiration from the Great God Pan - give me unearthly awakenings, sinister horned gods and eerie woodlands #MSWL

Did I watch this more than once? Maybe. 😅 Give me books with all your lumberjanes. #mswl

Quick note: I’m pulling back on PBs quite a bit. Last year they easily took over my query inbox (nearly ⅔ of my submissions were PBs!), and I’m hoping to balance out my list this year. I’m still open to PBs but will mostly be looking for author/illustrator projects.

Things I DON’T love/DO NOT want to see: plots that center around communication issues, white saviorism, really intense world building, super scary horror, rhyming for the sake of rhyming, blatant abusive relationships

Things I DO love/DO want to see: fun settings that push the story along (museums, resorts, amusement parks, public transit, etc.), wholesome cinnamon rolls, anti-capitalist themes, non-western mythology, school trips, smashing the patriarchy, found family, cozy fantasies

#MSWL

Things I DO love/DO want to see: unconventional magic systems, astronomy, page-turning thrillers, queer love, passionate characters w/ uncommon hobbies, enemies-to-lovers, friendship breakups, teen sleuths, stories not set in the US, body positivity, zombies

#MSWL

The main things I’m on the lookout for are:
📗 High concept fiction w/ a quirky cast of characters (MG & YA/all genres)
📘Bold & magical graphic novels (MG & YA/all genres)
📙Fresh & fascinating narrative nonfiction (MG & YA)

#MSWL

Hi friends! I'm open to queries & can't wait to see the amazing projects that land in my inbox this year. 🥰

Here's a quick #MSWL update, but for the most part,
I'm looking for the same stuff listed on the ALA website & MSWL:
azantianlitagency.com/pages/team-awe…
manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/alex…

I am perpetually living the set-up beat of a romcom. It’s like Groundhog Day but with all the meet cutes you wish you’d never experienced…

I’m a good sport though, so if anyone has a proposal for a non-fiction humor book on dating where this is your issue, #MSWL.

"If you have how-tos for beauty and self-care, I'm interested. Think sustainable and eco-friendly, capsule wardrobes, and decluttering, etc. Adult and YA welcome."

This book hits SO MANY of my #mswl favorites 😭😭😭

If your MS comps to this book I wanna seeeeee 😍😍😍

#mswl Something I've been thinking about a lot is practical things that I would have loved to learn in school but didn't. Like how to pick up a box properly, change a tire, fix a sink, build your core, deal with emotions, etc. Dm if you have an #nf like this - any age level!

If you’re interested in pitching me, check out @Jacqui_Lipton @annmrose @LaneHeymont @Sarah_Nicolas and Stefanie Rossitto #MSWL. Personally, I am excited to hear about adult fantasy, mystery, romance, women’s fiction, upmarket, and maybe even a thriller. 3/4

I just noticed I said thriller twice. Maybe that’s a sign that a thriller is really what I want?! #mswl
