6. Domestic/psychological thrillers in YA & adult

4. YA & adult upmarket fiction with speculative elements—please, I want this coming out of my ears. Send me your weird stories that are grounded in our world. (Think: Catherine House, Nothing to See Here, Neverworld Wake, Black Mirror, Never Let Me Go)

3. Gothic & Southern gothic fiction in YA & adult (Does anyone have a Rebecca comp for me?)

2. Horror across the board: Spooky stories for MG, lyrical & atmospheric YA horror, adult horror that will surprise me—literary-leaning writing with propulsive plots. I am open to & love nearly all kinds of horror.

1. Food-centric fic & nonfic. I would love to see narrative nonfic deep dives into culinary history & people whose stories haven't been told. Essay collections about food intersecting with culture, politics, social justice. & in fic, MG, YA, & adult fic where food plays a role.

“I want to see more books across genres about women in science/biology fields. YA, MG, PB, GN, adult, fiction, nonfiction. Send me your titles.” @readbystephanie #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

My #MSWL these days: Fiction: Adult Suspense, YA contemporary (any subgenre), YA and MG Graphic Novels.
Nonfiction: Pop Culture, or Narrative Nonfiction that reads like a novel, but is 100% researched. I remain open to other stuff, but the above is what I really want.

Okay, so Plan B is the teen reproductive rights movie I needed.

Also, the fact that one of the MCs is crushing on a guy who shares a mutual love of Sailor Moon is everything. 😂

I’d like to #mswl a YA story like Plan B!

⟡ #MSWL Asian or Asian American Sci-Fi, anything that comps SPACE SWEEPERS (Netflix)

⟡ Adult or YA Sci-Fi with LGBTQIA+ characters from writers who share their characters' marginalizations

Was just thinking how cool a Polynesian MG/YA fantasy with magical tattoos would be… #mswl

As well as my #mswl on the LBA website, you can find out some more about me in this interview I did with the lovely people at @RNAtweets: romanticnovelistsassociation.org/2021/04/ask-an…

I include some pointers about how to catch my eye with your query letter - title; clear, snappy pitch; & comp titles

“I’d love to see more YA or MG illustrated nonfiction or graphic novels about women’s rights, reproductive health, and adjacent topics (pop culture included).” @readbystephanie #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

Some #MSWL things:

1) MG fantasy, please! Especially myth-based, w/a strong focus on character, & a beautiful world/setting.

2) Contemporary MG/YA with LGBTQ+ characters.

3) MG graphic novels!

4) Underrepresented voices.

5) YA or MG that deals w/grief and/or mental health.

I'm particularly eager to build up my MG and Adult lists, but I can't resist a good PB or YA.

I'm perennially on the lookout for BIPOC, LGBT, and Neurodiverse creators in all categories.

Hiii Writers!! 🥳 ❤️I’ve been looking at what’s on my list right now.

So I’d love to see more Mysteries, Suspense & Thrillers in my box! If you write from MG, YA, to Adult.

Please check my #MSWL here manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/anal…

Link to submit is in my BIO!! 🥳❤️❤️

#mswl I’m really wanting to find a great YA where one of the MCs is transgender. If it’s cute or funny or lighthearted, all the better. Although it can also have its serious parts too. #WritingCommnunity #amwriting #amquerying #amediting

Only #YA and #MG. Whodunit mysteries like Truly Devious (riddles!). Closed door thrillers/mysteries. Witchy stories like Undead Girl Gang and The Craft, grounded in the real world. #mswl

Always looking for BIPOC writers!

If you have it and I miss it, please send anyway!

As in adult fiction, my YA interests are broad, so please feel encouraged to try me with anything contemporary for teen readers, including rom-coms. Select works of MG fiction will also be considered. #MSWL

I am also on the lookout for YA fantasy with a well-defined hook and a voice that sweeps me away, or an original concept involving ghosts or paranormal investigation. #MSWL

My tastes are similar in YA fiction, but with voice and content aimed at teen readers. Some specific requests include anything comparable to John Green or Stephen Chbosky, as well as in the vein of Netflix’s Atypical or The CW’s All American. #MSWL
