Illustrated books. I’d say about 60% of my list is illustrated. Some of them are meant to be written/drawn in, some have art sprinkled throughout—but all of them help you connect with yourself in creative ways. #MSWL

Ahhhh! Just realized it’s #MSWL day! I really love messy characters, twists and turns I never saw coming, diverse characters written by BIPOC & Latinx creators that are both impactful & joyful, and horror in all age categories🤩 manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/amy-…

Non Fiction #mswl
I need to learn something new, something I can't find on the internet. Something modern. Or a modern twist on a classic topic. I liked THE OPPOSITE OF SPOILED, CULTISH, MOTHERHOOD SO WHITE, STRANGE RITES, HOW TO DO NOTHING.

Historical #mswl
Time periods I like to read about: 1920s-present day. I don't read a lot of historical fiction older than that (I liked FOUR WINDS, OUR WOMAN IN MOSCOW, and love Beatriz Williams in general).

I'd love to see something for foodies on the non-fiction side. A cookbook, a narrative, a satirical piece. Something fresh that draws readers in. Also, on the empowerment side, something uplifting with strong takeaways for readers. #MSWL
Literary Agent
On the kidlit side, I'm looking for lovable introverts, pride in culture and identity, angsty crushes, teachable moments, belonging, and emotional range. Hints of magic, family businesses, best friend groups, complicated home situations, and underdogs are welcome. #MSWL
