Horror of all kinds intrigues me, especially when it’s interweaved with a contemporary, fantasy, folklore, gothic, historical, horrormance, paranormal, psychological, or survival subgenre! I’m also drawn to stories that feature dread, sentient settings & descents into madness

"I'm looking for voicey kid lit! For adult fiction, I'm still looking to grow my horror list and identity-driven book club fiction. I want to learn something new in non-fiction and find a project that helps others learn things in digestible ways." loveleemonicaa.bsky.social #mswl

If my username didn't tip you off, it's definitely a bonus if your kidlit project is funny! I love comedies, parodies, satires, and witty adventure stories. I prefer hopeful and fun stories, so if your book makes me cry it probably also needs to make me laugh. #MSWL

Hello #MSWL day!

As ever, I’m on the hunt for author-illustrated picture books! Humor is ALWAYS my bag!! Big hearted characters. Big emotions!!

Please note: I only rep illustrators and author-illustrators. If you send an author-only project it will be rejected unread!

Picture books are my guilty pleasure! #MSWL

MORE:
Fun & funny
Instant kid appeal 🤝 Classroom/Library potential
Lots of layers

LESS (or better, none):
Teachy or preachy
Sentimental or nostalgic
Rhyme

Books of my 💛: I WANT MY HAT BACK, SOUL FOOD SUNDAY, PLANTING STORIES... PURA BELPRÉ

It's #MSWL day and I am open to queries on Monday. Here are some things I am thinking about.

For picture books, I'm always looking for celebrations of identity like THE TRUTH ABOUT DRAGONS and stories that capture universal emotions through culturally specific experiences like BE CAREFUL, XIAO XIN! #MSWL

Happy #MSWL Day! I acquire everything from picture books to YA, including graphic novels. Behold the thread below for some MSWL items I am hoping, praying, begging, asking very nicely for 👀🥺🎉

Check out my #MSWL here: manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/si..., and submission guidelines here: inkwellmanagement.com/contact/! no ai stuff pls.

#MSWL day

6) This one is super specific - fantasy Dirk Pitt (by Clive Cussler) adventures (ideally feat. a female protagonist)

Science/magic forward, death defying, taking on billionaires, incredible adventure

(Please no military/colonial fantasies/exploitation/Islamaphobia - we know better)

I know most of us are dreaming of warmer weather at this point, but I'd love to see PB submissions with ✨cozy little moments.✨ Think Eliza Wheeler's A COZY WINTER DAY, Devil Elle Kurtz's THE BAKERY DRAGON, and Steve McCarthy's THE WILDERNESS.
