A MODERN QUEER VERSION OF TEN THINGS I HATE ABOUT YOU PLEASE GOD MY CROPS ARE DYING #mswl

I would also commit crimes for a novel from the PoV of Marie-Anne Lavoisier. CRIMES, I TELL YOU.

Swoony romance. Scientific partnership. The conservation of mass. A weird milk diet. THE FRENCH REVOLUTION. * bangs pots and pans * #MSWL

And just throwing this out there: I would commit crimes for a novel from the PoV of Chaja Bielski (with the caveat that it's coming from a Jewish author) #MSWL

In a similar vein, I love biographical novels, and I would love to read about some lesser-known people.

Favorites: THE SECRET HISTORY by Stephanie Thornton; LOVE & RUIN by Paula McLain; UNDER THE WIDE AND STARRY SKY by Nancy Horan #MSWL

Adult Historical Fiction.

Think Kate Quinn or Alice Hoffman -- upmarket book club fiction that brings history to life.

Favorites: WATER FOR ELEPHANTS by Sara Gruen; THE HUNTRESS by Kate Quinn; THE DOVEKEEPERS by Alice Hoffman; I SHALL BE NEAR TO YOU by Erin Lindsay McCabe #MSWL

If you're wondering where my #MSWL mindset is at - just finished watching another ep of @RadSechrist @Netflix #kipoandtheageofwonderbeasts with my eldest. LOVING IT!

We've updated our #mswl and added one theme that we're particularly looking for: disasters, being scared, anxiety, and coping. If you have submitted before but haven't heard back from us, you're also welcome to submit new manuscripts that fit our list. #kidlit #kidlitart

Check out @writersyndrome's whole thread, but I'm highlighting her #horror #mswl for @TorNightfire!

okay #mswl tho

For #MSWL in horror

- Creepy Southern/Western Americana or non-Western world Gothic

- horror that interrogates sociopolitical fears

- anything you can see Bruce Campbell starring in

- no exploitative violence against femmes and POC pls

For #MSWL in adult sci-fi/ fantasy:

- contemporary fantasy that's "city as character"

- anything that reminds me of a CW show (lol)

- positive climate fiction

- near-futuristic SF with anti-capitalist critique in the vein of PARASITE

I have some #MSWL asks floating that I'd love to see:

For young adult:

M. T. Anderson's Feed for the post-Instagram, post-TikTok generation

a YA version of The Wire (but with more funny bits and maybe an explosion or two).

a modern queer version of Ten Things I Hate about You

I am technically closed to submissions right now, but I can't get over how challenging it was for one of our pubs to find an African/diaspora picture book artist (they didn't). So now my door is wide open to African artists because that is frankly absurd. #MSWL #kidlit #art

#mswl

my eyes? heart-shaped
my heart? a pile of goo✨
#mswl pls!!!

“I’m in the mood for some 1920s/1950s upmarket fiction with vivid historical settings.” @readbystephanie #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

For my current #MSWL click on the picture to see all the details. You can also always find my most recent manuscript wishlist on the Triada US website.

#MSWL home, lifestyle, garden, decorating, nesting, cooking non-fiction. Because it is what I'm interested in as a reader and agent.

Since we’re here: I’d love to acquire some diverse speculative retellings of classic novels and myths by marginalized writers for @ErewhonBooks!
#MSWL

This is wildly wrongheaded. In light of this, I’d be really happy to see MG BIPOC twists on THE WIZARD OF OZ & THE SECRET GARDEN in my query box. #MSWL
