I had questions about why I ask for a full manuscript. These are general examples; they do not refer to a specific manuscript.

✍🏻 I fell in love with the sample only to find out the rest of the book was unwritten. 1/4

"I'm looking for nonfiction topics for which the author can make me passionate about the topic through their storytelling."

"I am dreaming of nature nonfiction and nature-laced memoirs that are rooted in the land, that give me hope, but don’t shy away from why we need that hope. Nature-driven books that marry science with storytelling."

"Mysteries in the suburbs in the vein of BIG LITTLE LIES."

What publishers have on their #MSWL and what authors are writing don't always match up. What are you writing that no one seems to be asking for yet? Or what do you wish they would ask for more of?

An enemies-to-lovers story that doesn't lean on the love interest harassing and terrorizing the protagonist, and the protagonist reacting like, "They're so frustrating... But they're so hot."

"Send me romantasy with strong fantasy and romance elements – it needs to have solid worldbuilding and plot as well as off-the-charts chemistry."
Rose Ferrao #MSWL

- Stories featuring MCs who collect weird things

- Hopeful, lighthearted vibes

- Adult or NA that deals with fitting in/social difficulties as an adult

(And a reminder that I’m mostly looking for speculative fiction at this time)

#mswl

kind of specific ask for the #mswl , but I would really love to see a MG where the MCs live normal lives in the “real” world, but when they go through a portal, they play a different role that nobody in the “real” world knows about (Pevensie children as Narnia royalty vibes)

Niche #MSWL desire would be a blend of family-drama and Scooby-Doo antics/adventure with a hunt for cryptids. The search for chupacabra or moth-man while dealing with siblings relationships? Send my way!

I want yearning and longing in my romantasy and romances #MSWL

is searching for stories fitting the Presents line. Must be READY to go now! Powerful CEO's featuring two enemy CEO heroes or a sapphic royal story featuring a queen-to-be! Read their guidelines first. No guessing.

"Looking for platform-driven nonfiction with unique hooks. (Platform meaning: social media/YouTube followers, TV appearances, email newsletter numbers, etc)."
Carly Watters #MSWL

"Send me dark retellings of fairy tales and classic stories, with similar sensibilities to THE BLOODY CHAMBER by Angela Carter or WICKED by Gregory Maguire."

Update: I'm building my list in New Adult and Adult Fiction, with a focus on Literary and Speculative Fiction. I’m especially interested in representing Latino/Hispanic, LGBTQ+, African-American, and Asian American writers. Please follow the submission guidelines before submitting. #MSWL #queries

Hmmm, thrillers are sneaking their way into my queries, and I’m not exactly mad about it. Maybe I need to update my #MSWL
