I am still closed to queries, but I can’t resist #MSWL day.

When I reopen, I’d love some high concept apocalyptic books. Think HELL FOLLOWED WITH US, or (of course) The Last of Us.

To check out my #MSWL, you can visit my website here. ericsmithrocks.com/mswl

Have questions? Don't be afraid to DM me. They're open.

Major #MSWL items for me now:

❤️ Stories that celebrate neurodiversity.

✨ Joyful novels, memoirs about the adoptee experience.

🪶 In-verse projects, kid-lit + adult!

💋 High concept rom-coms!

Examples? Follow @MargeauxWeston @bookdragonbooks @katefussner @tianasmithbooks.

As for me, I'm always looking for genre-blending literary fiction, accessible sci-fi and fantasy, diverse and inclusive kid-lit, and moving non-fiction.

Some recent examples from my list? Here are some by @AlisonStine @mikechenwriter @mk_england and @JamesTateHill.

I updated my #MSWL listing now that I'm looking for adult fiction too. Nutshell: commercial, escapist, fun or thrilling reads in MG, YA and adult. manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/elan…

My wheelhouse tends to be middle grade, YA and women's fiction, both ABA and CBA. In women's fiction, I'm looking ONLY for interesting hooks ... like sure divorce revenge, but like with a sailing race & bet involved like in @Talicktweets Beware the Mermaids. #MSWL

Apparently it’s #mswl day! Let’s do this!! Through out the day I’ll post what I’m looking for!!

Let’s start with:

Right now I'd really love to have more category romance written for lines like Love Inspired and Love Inspired Suspense. #MSWL

I'm also looking for indie bestselling mystery/suspense/thriller authors who would like to go hybrid or who would like to continue self-publishing but have me shop their sub rights. #MSWL #WritingCommunity

Happy #mswl day! I'm excited to share more about what's on my wishlist for the new nonfiction list at @AlcovePress/@crookedlanebks . In the meantime, here's my @ManuscriptWList page: manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/Laur…

I'd love to see more YA fantasy, but it really, really, really has to be unique so it'll stand out. Not an easy feat. I know! Send me more YA thrillers too!!! #MSWL #WritingCommunity #amquerying #amagenting

It's #MSWL Day, so I'll post a few items on my wish list. I'm still eager to find indigenous authors with authentic stories from PB to adult. I'd like more contemporary MG & YA by diverse voices, including LGBTQ+, but not issue books. #WritingCommunity #amquerying #amagenting

#MSWL couples edition!
Jude and Carden
Lucy and Josh Templeman
Vivi and Reese Pennhallow
Melanie Parker and Jack Taylor
Elias and Leia
Peter Quill & Gammorah
Jake Peralta and Amy Santiago
Many many more!

Merry #MSWL day! I'll be posting about some special projects I'm looking for throughout but for the nitty gritty, please visit my #MSWL page at manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/stac…

I've updated my #MSWL page for their great new platform and look forward to queries - especially if it's a multicultural love story, a
BIPOC perspective on history (fiction or nonfiction), a thriller in an unusual time and place...
Happy #MSWL Day! 👇🤗 manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/Jess…

It's #MSWL day! I've updated my profile over at Manuscript Wish List, so if you're writing suspenseful romance stories, please check it out and send your projects my way! Always open to questions if you have any. manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/emma…
