. . . Alt. history (from a marginalized or unusual perspective; with an alternate outcome—e.g. THE MAN IN THE HIGH CASTLE; introduces SFF element to a historical event—e.g. LEVIATHAN @ScottWesterfeld, but for the adult market)

#LitAgents, my #MSWL (Adult):
‣ Upmarket contemporary fic: Womxn; mental health; “Late” (30s+) coming-of-age; LGBTQIA+
‣ Grounded speculative fic: “ ” w/ elements of SFF/magical realism; Modern retellings (fairy tales; myths & legends; folklore; classics); CliFi (not preachy);

To any agent who may see this, please please please send me more submissions by Latinx creators. I am always looking for Latinx middle grade, YA, and graphic novels. #MSWL here 😉manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/caro…

I’m also really hungry for science and math non-fiction in middle grade and YA. My picture book list is really strong in NF these days and I want older kids to be inspired by math and science, too! #mswl

I am really hungry for some non-fiction middle grade and YA in my queries and for the right topic (pop culture, feminism, theater/music/dance), I’m open to adult non-fiction projects. For ex: I’m an avid fan of @EggcellentPod, @WestWingWeekly, @GilmoreGuysShow, and #Cheer. #mswl

Please give me a MG with a sibling relationship like this #MSWL

A League of Their Own + LGBTQA + esport competitions = a fun, spunky contemporary YA that I would really like to read. #MSWL

"An upmarket fiction piece about a woman with a cool outdoorsy or animal-related job (think STEM)." @readbystephanie #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

If you write this, PLEASE send it to me #mswl

A book set just before and during a situation like this would be amazing. Exploring the upending of an established landscape as both catastrophe and renewal through some human stories would be entirely my jam. #MSWL

"I particularly enjoy nonfiction books in the following categories: pop culture, science, design, and lifestyle.” @msmariavicente mariavicente.com/representation #MSWL

The Mongoose is a Gemini and one of my sisters is a Virgo. (Please, #mswl, someone write me the dithering, fretful, secretly furious female serial killer that my Virgo sister might be.)

I want a sappy, feel-good romance like RETURN TO ME but YA! #mswl

My turn on the @bookendslit #MSWL train! When I reopen to queries I want all the kidlit: graphic novels and all your LGBT narratives from PB through YA! Swoon worthy rom coms and heartbreaking stories all welcome.

I'm next in line on the @bookendslit #MSWL train chuggin' along 🚂 I'd love to find a novel in the vein of NATALIE TAN'S BOOK OF LUCK AND FORTUNE where food, community, and culture intertwine. Also, I'm a fan of AYESHA AT LAST, so a fresh retelling like this might catch my eye!

In the @bookendslit #MSWL doggie pile! I want more graphic novels! I just read LILY THE THIEF and it was so good and I need more.
