After three years of working as an editor, it finally occurred to me to create a #mswl . Romance and Craft authors/agents, my inbox is open!
manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/ally-dantonio/

I’m craving more:
-STEM-inspired genre fiction/magic
-Grounded sci-fi like Severance, Primer, The Martian
-SFF like Arcane
-Horror like I Saw the TV Glow
-Escapist, action-packed reads
-Trans & queer romance
-Compelling villains

I am not right for:
-Military/police MCs
-Contemporary
-Lower MG

Here is my updated #MSWL for winter 2025. I will be opening back up to unsolicited queries at the end of the month. If I’ve requested materials from you please send me a DM for my query link.

PB nonfiction: I love STEM topics and stories exploring the natural world, but has to be more narrative-driven rather than just facts. I probably have my fill of outer space at the moment, but earthbound subjects and overlooked figures are more than welcome!

I’m still waiting on the big announcement, but I’m so excited to share that I’ve joined the incredible team @HowlandLit where I’ll be building my list in picture books, MG, and adult. Check out my #MSWL and find me on Query Manager

#mswl

Full moon vibes, spooky stories, & my inbox are officially open! Hunting for twisty thrillers, epic STEMinist hist fic, gothic romances w/ supernatural tension, &speculative fiction that keeps me guessing. Got a manuscript with heart and grit? Send it my way. #MSWL #amquerying

Picture Books #MSWL :
☑️ Non-Fiction (biography, STEM, history preferrable. This is also the ONLY place I will consider anthropomorphism: talking objects/animals)
☑️ themes of grief
☑️ break down gender stereotypes
☑️ variety of family structures

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

In Graphic Novels (young readers, MG, and YA), I'd love to see:
📷 STEM topics for young readers
📷 Tweens saving the world
📷 Queer teens living their best lives

Some #MSWL additions that I want right now… secret passageways in old houses, fully illustrated chapter books for all ages, Enola Holmes vibes, epistolary gothic horror with multiple narrators (like Dracula), fiber arts (Fiction or NF), STEM books heavy on the M.

Hi writer friends! I'm officially reopening to queries!
I'm especially excited about ✨children's books✨: author/illustrators, nature/STEM/nonfiction, graphic novels, and refreshing, original MG and YA.

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

I'm always looking for MG & YA fiction; graphic novels (early reader - YA); nonfiction for all ages (STEM, social justice, little known history); author-illustrated PBs; projects by BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, neurodiverse & disabled creators. #MSWL

#GN horror, contemporary, HF, retelling, mythology
#CB/early readers anything goes for fiction. For NF STEM, Bios of little know historical figures

I love books that show all the brilliant colors of my community 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ and underrepresented voices
