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

Fiction #mswl

I liked THE MOST FUN WE EVER HAD, FLEISHMAN, COMMONWEALTH, CHARLOTTE WALSH LIKES TO WIN, NOTES ON AN EXECUTION, THE GLASS HOTEL, MARRYING THE KETCHUPS, and THIS TIME TOMORROW 2/2

Fiction #mswl

I mostly read to be entertained. I like to read about topics of class, social issues, motherhood/domestic issues, family, ambition, love, family, tragedy, and desire.

I liked LESSONS IN CHEMISTRY, SEVEN DAYS IN JUNE, I HAVE SOME QUESTIONS FOR YOU, THE GUNCLE 1/2

Happy #MSWL day! I’m in the market for smart, fun, engaging self-improvement. Agents—you can find my full listing here, but here are a few highlights. manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/laur…

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-…

I would also love to see some retellings in my inbox, whether that be of classics or myths #MSWL

Happy #MSWL day! Here is a reminder to send me all of your adult modern gothic and dark academia submissions! Please! I want them!

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'm doing a #mswl thread for #mswl day!

Here we go: Send me Gothic fiction with possibly a modern storyline, too (I liked MEXICAN GOTHIC and THE LITTLE STRANGER).

Good morning, writers! It's #MSWL day and here is my updated wish list. You can find my profile here— complete with things I want, don't want, query instructions, some of my favorites, and more: manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/Jess…

I wanted to do a wishlist update for #MSWL day, but I am quite sick. Instead, please admire the lovely update to the site that @jsinsheim & team have done. My page is a bit musty, but all my old favorites are still favorites, & I'll update soon!

Bumping this thread for #MSWL day!

oh, it’s #MSWL day! along with the below tweet, i’m into mysteries and thrillers, historical fiction, and LGBTQ romance or fiction with strong romantic elements 💕

#MSWL Literary book about a modern cult with an unexpected leader.

#MSWL Give me more speculative, weird stories about living in and around the ocean.

For #MSWL for all that is holy, bring me a Charlie Cale ( Poker Face) or Nadia Vulvokov (Russian Doll) mystery.

Instructions for querying are on my #MSWL page and in the second tweet of this thread. Once you have something ready and polished, feel free to send it in if you think we might be a good fit!

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

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
