*Picture books Nonfiction and informational, especially anything about people who changed the world but aren't as known for it as they should be
*Picture Books on Halloween (fiction)
*Young Adult Thrillers (anything with a Kara Thomas/Karen McManus feel)

And on the middle grade and YA side, I want funny, I want adventure, I want completely new, never-seen-before characters and settings, I want high-concept romances, lots of friendship and heart, just phenomenal stories and journeys all over🚀🌴

#MSWL while I absolutely love middle grade horror and dark fantasy, I'm seeing A LOT of it in queries. Would love to see some variety! Sci-fi, fairytale retellings, contemporary, something tragic, joyful stories, series oriented, adventure, etc

FUNNY PICTURE BOOKS ABOUT BLACK AND BROWN KIDS PLEASE THANKS #mswl (this tweet comes apropos of nothing except it's what my brain is always screaming)

BookFriends, you all know what time it is!

#MSWL time!

From @TracyMarchini:

"I would love to find a middle grade from an ace-spec perspective and/or an author-illo picture book with the aesthetic of CREEPY CARROTS." 🥕

Weirdly excited about having a #MSWL profile now. 👀 manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/sara…

MG:
- Adventure stories with strong friendship groups, think City Spies or The Last Day of Summer.
- Fantasy in the vein of Tristan Strong, or Aru Shah.
- Horror, horror, horror! Creepy, crawly, funny & subversive. Think The Incorrigible Children of Ashton Place (4/6) #mswl

Hi new friends and old, thanks for the well wishes & support. Since it's pub lunch official...I'm thrilled to share the #mswl of my dreams and I hope to see some cool submissions soon! manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/jenn…

Adult: Narrative nonfiction/memoir about food, Southern culture, adventure, extreme sports, journeys, science/medicine, from perspectives we have not seen before/enough of & whose narratives tackle bigger-picture subjects alongside personal narratives.

MG across the board: Heartwarming & funny contemporary, mysteries, humor, horror, adventure, or some blend of all those. Touches of magic.
