A more detailed (read: rambling) mswl can be found here but as I say on it, I love being surprised, if you can send me something I love that I didn't think to ask for I will love you forever manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/deirdre-power/

Middle grade fantasies that are set in our world (so low/lighter on the fantasy side), or stories with a meta layer to them a la lemony snicket, detective fiction, and STEM

Picture books with heart and humour! Anywhere on the scale of funny to gentle, please just send your best three texts.

Also for teen/YA - all your thrillers, murder mysteries, horrors. Please send your heists and spies. Ally Carter is an auto-buy, and my new fave is Ravena Guron.

YA romance/romcoms - if I had to pick just one thing, this is definitely the asylum where they raised me. Some faves: Michelle Quach, Ann Liang, Eva desLauriers, Emma Lord, Huntley Fitzpatrick, Emma Mills, Sophie Gonzales, William Hussey, Stephanie Perkins - you get the idea

WRITERS: I will be closing to queries on June 8th-so that I can catch up on submissions and focus on client manuscripts. As a reminder, I'm looking for YA/MG/PB and Adult and Kids NF. Polish and send those queries by 6/8 or hang on to them until later in the summer. Thanks!

I’ve given my #mswl a little spring clean! 🌷

spelling out your tastes when you want both the most depraved and most delightful books imaginable is always tough, so if in doubt, just send it over

I usually close once I get a couple hundred, because I can't physically read 700 every month. So be ready! June 3. (I mean, if you want to.)

I am going to open again to queries next Monday. I would really like to see a romance (either YA or mainstream adult) that will sweep me away, a character I will fall in love with in chapter 1, and to add more diversity to my list overall. #mswl QueryManager.com/1621

Since this seems to be the year of mainstreaming age-gap romance, let me just say once again that I *love* queer, but especially Sapphic age-gap romance.

I’m itching for more horror: gothic, eerie, paranormal. (Just not straight up gore) #mswl

I haven’t done a #MSWL in a long time, but if you have a PB manuscript that talks about the power of dance for marginalized communities, I have been thinking about this a lot lately. DM me for my link 💛

I am so excited to announce that I am now at Spencerhill Associates! AND I am now open to queries! Head to the Spencerhill website to see what I'm looking for and get your queries in my QueryManager! So excited for this new adventure.

Manuscripts in other categories will still be considered! You can see more of my #MSWL at manuscriptwishlist.com

Please note that I may not be open for queries for a solid stretch between now and October, so always check my website to see if I'm open before you email me!

I am open to queries! I need to prioritize current authors, so right now there are very specific types of books that I will be paying closer attention to.

Submission instructions are at dunhamlit.com, and this graphic will hopefully also help you plan when to query me.

#MSWL would love a story featuring a septuagenarian or octogenarian group of friends in genres of literary fiction, thriller, women’s fiction, etc but want older protagonists both cute and taking no shit similar to THURSDAY MURDER CLUB
