Inconveniently Specific Wish List #mswl

− Intergenerational found family like Howl’s Moving Castle; This is England

− YA horror like Beetlejuice, WWDITS, Paprika

− NYC stories; no Gossip Girl energy (unless satire or horror)

− Strong ensemble like E4’s Misfits; The Wire

Manuscript Wish List #mswl

- All of the YA and MG fiction. All of it. Novels-in-verse and graphic novels included.

Where are all the YA stories about this? Operation Peter Pan. The clandestine mass exodus of over 14,000 unaccompanied Cuban minors ages 6 to 18 to the United States in the 60s. I would love to see some. #mswl

#MSWL I’m DESPERATELY NEEDING a YA or adult romance where a sweet couple falls in love—no insta love. I want to see their journey, whether it’s f/f, m/m, f/m...love is love. I just want ❤️ and laughter and kindness with lots of friends and family and community.

#mswl

And please consider querying me. I love to be scared and am dying for good horror! I'm open to horror in #MG, #YA, #Adult -- and even spooky #PB. #MSWL

To submit: QueryManager.com/JenniferMarchS…

Between my new found love for Oumi Janta and binge-watching Betty, I am so ready for some rollerblading/skateboarding YA magic to happen #mswl

I'd also love to see more upmarket fiction, women's fiction, & YA horror. I'm surprised how little of the query pie these genres take up. Please send me more of them. #MSWL

OPEN TO QUERIES: Adult, select young adult, and select middle grade. Please note the genres I rep or don't rep. Authors in marginalized communities encouraged to query. Details at triciaskinner.com under #MSWL section.

SOME NEWS! After an S&S restructure, I'm now at McElderry, where I'll still be acquiring YA but will *also* be actively looking to build my MG list!

So agents, please keep me in mind for all your upcoming SFF middle grade! I'm definitely prioritizing that at the moment. #MSWL

So. Stunning. Please send all the PB, MG, and YA books about the art of hair, makeup, and fashion created by Black folks my way. #MSWL

Echoing this #MSWL (which you probably could've guessed from looking at my Twitter header). A YA retelling of "The Green Ribbon"? Please send it my way!

This post reminds me that I need one of you YA authors to write a creepy gothic retelling of the story of green ribbon girl. Maybe a graphic novel?!? #mswl

I want all of this!!! #MSWL 👇🏻

Yes, and this is a giant #mswl for me!!

Seconded! Diabetes truly is an invisible disease. Though I’d love MG or YA with Type 1 or Type 2... #MSWL

I was diagnosed in 1994, and The Babysitters’ Club was the only reason I knew what diabetes was too. I still want a YA with type I diabetes rep. #mswl

The NWSL is back today (!!!!) so....just putting it out there that I’d love to read a YA novel about a soccer team ⚽️ #mswl

#amquerying #writingcommunity #writerscommunity #MSWL What I would love to see in my QueryManager. Keep in mind sometimes I don't know what I want until I see it, so don't hesitate to query me if your story doesn't match this list. I am only accepting YA queries at this time.
