#mswl horror/thriller/ action & adventure about diving on a sunken ship or based in an underwater habitat.

I am probably going to open back up to queries before the New Year but I am going to narrow the genres I'm looking for this time. So please consider this my #mswl list (which I will update).

I will be opening to Action & Adventures.

Books set in extreme environments.

I'm also open to #PB, #MG, and #NF for all ages. Not looking for board books or rhyme at this time.

My #MSWL for PB: true rhyme w/ perfect meter; 99% of the time prefer text-only

Tip 1: You know where you expect the beats, so have others read it out loud. Listen for where they place the emphasis.

Tip 2: Don’t force the rhyme. 🤦🏼‍♀️

Hey D.B.! Oh gosh, that's strange. But YES—Atheneum publishes picture books, MG, YA, and graphic novels within the S&S Children's group. My specific #MSWL lives here, if you want to check it out: featherflores.com/mswl/. Any questions, give me a shout! (& ahh your pitch is 🔥🔥)

Hi book nerds 💜 Huzzah! My #MSWL is now officially live! Agented authors and creators, feel free to share this with your agent. Unfortunately for those in the query trenches, I'm unable to accept unagented submissions...I leave you with a catdog 🐱🐶

Happy Saturday and here’s my picture book bannister! Love what I get to do everyday helping to create and get books out into the world especially picture books that get kids excited about reading and learning!!! #books #bekind #mswl #mswishlist #QueenElizabeth #history

PB:
funny picture books by queer, BIPOC, marginalized authors that have nothing to do with identity. Give me the next CREEPY UNDERWEAR or DON’T LET THE PIGEON DRIVE THE BUS or PENGUIN PROBLEMS or LLAMA DESTROYS THE UNIVERSE

illustrators and author-illustrators

MG:
funny, heartfelt action-adventure featuring queer, BIPOC, marginalized voices, ideally with some magic or fantastical elements

I’m really not taking on many picture books at the moment, but if I were to go for something, I’d want it to have a clear hook and also answer a need - a lovely story just isn’t enough for me right now.

✨Anything that comps Claire North.
✨Fabulist urban spec fic like China Miéville.
✨Africanfuturist SFF that comps Nnedi Okorafor.
✨Fantasy-mystery genre mashups like MAGIC FOR LOVERS or RIVERS OF LONDON #MSWL

big #MSWL item for me too, though I can only do picture books through YA

And also, contemporary MG that’s full of adventure, humour and heart. There can be fantasy elements but I tend to love real(ish) world settings.

#MSWL for when I re-open Sept 1:
nonfiction business, leadership, lifestyle, cookbooks, home decor, gift books, and picture books.

Platform matters but platform is sometimes more than social media numbers.

Good morning! Finally built out my #MSWL page for all curious minds (and agents and writers): manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/iren…

#MSWL I would love a story about viruses (as long as it's not coronavirus- I need some escapism).

I would also love a book based around a volcanic eruption or another natural disaster. But with the focus on disaster management and the action/adventure side of things.

#MSWL Middle Grade (not fantasy or scifi) and Picture Books. blueridgeagency.com

My MSWL is not up yet, but I will be representing YA, NA, and Adult. Please send me Fantasy, Paranormal Romance (in a contemporary setting), Action and Adventure, Thrillers, LGBTQ+, Horror and Sci Fi.
