#MSWL middle grade projects by Black authors that center Black kids/teens that spin (ie make new & unique) old school & current favs like Babysitters Club, Nancy Drew, Hardy Boys, Harry Potter, Matilda, Peter Pan, a modern Narnia, Treasure Island + more.

Reminder that these aren't the limit of my wish list items. I'm open to fiction in a lot of genres and age groups, from MG to YA to adult. Please see the full #MSWL here:
aliherringwrites.wordpress.com/mswl-manuscript-wish-list/

#MSWL Also space ships, generation ships, small ships, big ships, near-future, far-future, aliens, human or not, space exploration for the joy of adventure, space exploration to save earth from disaster, aliens come to us, nice aliens, bad aliens, neutral aliens.

#MSWL I love the voices of Andy Weir & Martha Wells in science fiction. Andy is so smart but the science feels approachable. Plus his voice is real & smart, witty, real. And totally same vibes from Martha. They make science fiction approachable & easy. Give me that.

#MSWL Cool, yeah, I almost want some of those sweet romance harlequin romance writers, maybe LI and LIS authors, to try their hand at a novel for tweens with those Hallmark vibes. Think around 55K words would work great.

#MSWL Remember the movie Warm Bodies? Well I want that but with Vampires instead of Zombies. Not pining Edward and submissive Bella, give me funny, regretful but also okay with himself vamp meets kick-butt heroine who's his match because she outmatches him.

#MSWL Still looking for an MG Romance Writer exploring 1st love & crushes like Natalie Blitt Carols & Crushes for MIDDLE GRADE to YA girls, 12-15yos. Yes I want something that straddles that weird line. Want them to read like Hallmark movies for kids and could go series.

#MSWL Contemporary YA and MG fiction.

SURPRISE!
I am trying something new...going to open to queries the first week of each month in an effort to keep up on submissions. I will close again on Sunday, August 6th. My #MSWL is updated: manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/amy-giuffrida/
Submit queries using my QM link: QueryManager.com/AmyGiuffrida

#MSWL Fiction, across age groups, that explores the afterlife, but NOT set on Earth with ghosts. Think "waypoint" locations. I loved the movie "Defending Your Life," so a riff on that would be cool. But open to more settings, like an MG/YA kid ends up in the underworld.

EXCITING NEWS✨

I’ve decided to open back up to queries this month instead of waiting until September

#MSWL An MG ghost story that leans heavily into the fun and funny and not the scary. While I'm always open to MG horror, I'm looking not so much for chills in this wishlist item.

Agents! I am DESPERATE for books that feel like The Summer I Turned Pretty! #mswl

I am now a member of #SCBWI , I am eager to see some picture books from author/illustrators and contemporary MG. #AmQuerying #AmAgenting #KidLit #WritingCommunity - I'll soon update my #MSWL on all my pages.

"I'm on the lookout for mystery thrillers that explore a 'true crime' in their fictional world. Who does it impact, and how? What is justice? Think A GOOD GIRL'S GUIDE TO MURDER, NOTHING CAN HURT YOU, MY FLAWLESS LIFE, and JACKAL."

This sounds awesome and I totally think there's a #nf #picturebook here! #mswl ?

"I'm on the hunt for a submission on misandry. I'm open to all categories and formats: essay collection, narrative nonfiction, short story collection with misandry as a common theme, memoir manifesto, etc."

Or maybe what you have is not like anything we've ever seen before - super gay, weird, and innovative with all the seemingly disparate threads somehow coming together & there's just no way I could've known to want something like your bonkers creation. Well! I might want it then.
