2023 #MSWL š§µ! I represent picture books through YA (+illustrators!) and in all categories I am particularly looking to represent more non-white, queer, and disabled creatives. As a white, cishet, abled woman, I truly appreciate the trust you put in me by sharing your work.In honor of #MSWL day, I'm giving this thread a boost! I open to queries the first week of each month so if you're ready to query and my wish list resonates with you, I look forward to reading in March!

Oh wait-- one more bizarrely specific #MSWL from me:
I'd love to read a historical or Regency farce set on social media. The scandal! The games of gossip telephone! The social climbing! I'm talking Georgette Heyer with groupchats and softblocks.

Oh hey it's #MSWL day! Here's a link to my new shiny page. TLDR: I want adult fiction that stretches my imagination, and connects me back to big chewy ideas in the real world. Fresh speculative fiction, philosophical SFFH, ambitious satires.

Iām technically on vacation but saw it was #MSWL day and wanted to pop in and say that all my recent MSWL posts are still valid.
Also, I would really love more adult projects and GN projects in my inbox. š

It's #MSWL day! I'll post some of the things I'm looking for, and if you think we'd be a good fit, please send a query, synopsis, full manuscript, and any relevant sales history to horror@sourcebooks.com (and don't worry if your project isn't horror, I promise it'll get to me).

I still have a handful of older queries and submissions to read, but I'm officially open to queries again! Looking for crossover speculative fiction, thrillers and horror with speculative elements, and 2SLGBTQIA+ picture books from authors or author/illustrators! #MSWL

Health/Wellness #mswl
I do a lot in this space but a large platform is key PLUS a fresh twist and something that can't be found on a blog. Also: I'm anti-diet.

Fiction #mswl
For commercial fiction I liked BEACH READ, ONE TO WATCH. I want the genre to feel subverted in someway. A new hook.
I'm OK with lightly speculative fiction too like THIS TIME TOMORROW or THE TWELVE LIVES OF SAMUEL HAWLEY
Itās #mswl day so re-linking mine - send me all of the things! manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/jen-ā¦

Books that make you see the world differently. Books that help you see a problem, learn how youāve been affected by it, and teach you how to change it. #MSWL
Editor
Books that help your mind and soul. Pop psych, productivity, anxiety, self-care. #MSWL
Assistant Editor
I'm on the hunt for book-club fiction and weighty commercial up-market books with characters I can really sink my teeth into. Think TOMORROW, AND TOMORROW, AND TOMORROW by Gabrielle Zevin! #MSWL

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