As always, my full #MSWL is here and agents, I’d love to connect on a project sometime soon! manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/mega…

Across all age categories, books that center around kids who are adopted or in foster care. This is a #MSWL that’s very near to my heart. There are not enough books out there with these kinds of protagonists and I’d like to see more of them in my inbox. #MSWL

Send these to me and then I can send them to Megan. Because y'all know I have had many a #MSWL on mermaids.

A YA novel that comps to THE BOLD TYPE #MSWL

Spooky MG monster horror in the vein of Goosebumps. #MSWL

I may or may not have been a mermaid in a past life, and I’d love to see interesting and fresh mermaid stories at any age level. #MSWL

MG contemporary novels in the vein of HURRICANE SEASON by Nicole Melleby or AUGUST ISLE by Ali Standish. #MSWL

A sweeping MG or YA fantasy with epic stakes, bold themes, lush writing, and relatable characters. Bonus points for series potential. MG and YA fantasy is always at the top of my #MSWL and in these times, I especially want to lose myself in a smart, well-crafted world.

Throwing out a few Monday #MSWL items into the universe while we’re all still under quarantine. I’m enjoying doing this as I’m looking to build my list right now across PB, MG, and YA, with a focus in MG. Agent friends, if we haven’t connected yet, let’s!

Exciting bookish news: I have a shiny new #MSWL page! Agent friends, take a look (and hit me up if you want to geek out over mutual faves): manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/feat…

Q2 2/3 A few things on my #MSWL are: a really up-to-date bodyguard story, stories set in amazing and perhaps unexpected locations (think superyachts or the Orient Express...) and a secret baby story where it’s the heroine who gets the surprise! #UKRomChat

Two recent fave reads: THE LIGHT BETWEEN WORLS by @lauraeweymouth and GAUDY NIGHT by @Dorothy_Sayers. Plz send me stories with the emotional complexity I found in both of these and that leave me feeling as intellectually satisfied! #MSWL #amquerying #amreading

#MSWL In adult fiction I'm looking for:
-LIFE IN PIECES in book form (& ensemble casts)
-something commercial with delicious vacation drama
-characters with an entrepreneurial spirit (again and always)
-clever arc structures and use of form

#MSWL I also want a locked room mystery! I love these anyway and since life is a locked room at the moment, I'd like the opportunity to think about murder. I want it rich and dark and deep, definitely not a cozy, but maybe a cozy dressed up for a really special occasion.

Another #MSWL: something generally uplifting, that makes me believe that humans can sometimes be good. Unlikely friendships, unexpected kindnesses, tragedy that turns into hope. Obviously, I and others want this right now (also, I'll take your reading recs if you have them!)

#MSWL I have wanted this for a long time, but still haven't found it: I want a literary love story with a happy ending. I know, I know, "literary" and "happy ending" don't seem like they go together, but hey, that's the challenge here!

April 2020 Round Up and #mswl tracymarchini.com/2020/04/20/apr…

"Non-fic like Clayton M. Christensen's THE INNOVATOR'S DILEMMA & Michael Lewis' FLASH BOYS." @CurtisPSLA #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

Of course, concept like that can’t be realized without amazing characters. So bring on characters with clear desires and high stakes, whose motivation I can feel. Characters I can love (or hate) and would want to know. #ya #mswl

This Monday morning, I’m wishing for YA with a vivid world/setting that bends the rules in its genre—whether that be genre blending or an unexpected twist to a tired trope, I want to be surprised and taken away to another world. #mswl #ya
