Lately, I'm obsessed with the podcast Normal Gossip. I'd love some fiction for any age that incorporates or relies on gossip - and not necessarily as a negative method of communication. #MSWL

I'd love a zeigtgeisty absurdist critique of modern inequalities (adult or YA) along the lines of White Lotus or Knives Out, ideally from the POV of marginalized characters.

Bonus points if it feels as unsettling as the White Lotus theme song! #MSWL

Anything like this poem, especially the last two lines. #MSWL

Speculative stories - I'm NOT a good fit for rigid dystopias full of government control and categorization of the populace.

Please send me speculative worlds that look like ours with One Big Change. Show me the human response to disaster, politics, or climate change. #MSWL

I'd really love to see more middle grade, particularly ones that tackle mental health and other difficult topics.

I'm also on a big MG in verse kick, and I'd like to see that in my inbox. #MSWL

#MSWL if anyone’s writing historical mysteries about William H. West, I would love to see them!

Today was a super busy day filled with contracts and car repairs, so I may have missed your #moodpitch post. Feel free to query me if you think we’d be a good fit. Check out my #MSWL page here: manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/amy-…

I won't be able to drop by #moodpitch before this too-short week ends, but my queries are open for work that aligns with my #MSWL, and feel free to include your mood board if you have one: manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/roma…

(I'm strongly prioritizing adult submissions at the moment!)
