In terms of MG, I'm looking for all the above, but would also love to find a novel-in-verse and anything exploring queerness and/or found families for younger readers!
I'd especially love to see trans femme stories across all genres!
All things horror!! Think Jordan Peele and Scream. I want your psychological, your slasher, your haunted house, your ghosts and hauntings. If it fits under the horror umbrella, I want to see it.
As a small sampling of things I love and am on the lookout for:
Genre-benders (think Romantasy, thrillers with a dash of romance, etc)
Speculative with heart (AS King, Adam Silvera, Kacen Callendar)
Thrillers (Isolated settings and beyond)
Sci-Fi (grounded and/or sweeping)
Hi Agents, I'm excited to yell off the rooftops that I'm open to submissions at @Zandoprojects , acquiring a range of MG, YA, and select picture books and graphic novels across all genres! Please feel free to get in touch if you have any questions on the below! #MSWL 🧵
Please send me all your spicy (extra spicy, not so much lemon and herb), dark, and magical fantasy romance queries. I'm particularly looking for a unique hook and strong atmospheric writing.
#MSWL I’m open to queries and my request time is a few minutes to a few weeks! And still stoked for my author’s amazing book on the FRONT PAGE of THE SUNDAY NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW! @MSWLMA#mswishlistevansliterary.com

I closed to queries for a while, but I'm baaaack! A quick #MSWL note to celebrate While kidlit will always have my heart, I'm actively trying to build up the adult side of my list—so if you've got thrillers, romcoms, horror, spec and contemp fiction, I wanna see!
#Adult#MSWL :
- LGBTQ+ romance & diverse casts
- romcoms especially!
- enemies to lovers, slow burn, villain/hero, love triangles
- romantasy!
- psychological & cerebral horror with diversity!
- horror that stems from the real world & paranormal
- social commentary!
(4/5)
#YA#MSWL :
- all genres & YA/Adult crossover
- fast paced, high stakes, drama
- snarky, voicey, morally grey protagonists & villains
- trope-filled romances!
- competitions, tests, quests
- retellings & fresh takes on classics
- YA fantasy is my favorite!
(3/5)
