I would really love some character-driven YA fantasy that is both dark AND funny. Especially if there is a big eclectic cast and truly unique magic. Voicey characters but still high stakes and a world with details that awe, from city life to wildlife. #MSWL

I'm opening to queries again on 1/1/18. Here's what's at the top of my #MSWL for early 2018:

- high concept MG + YA
- #ownvoices projects in all categories
- funny female MCs
-a voicey, genre-bending Adult SFF series

For my full wishlist, check out: manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/laur…

An evergreen #MSWL is for chapter books by marginalized authors and author/illustrators. Funny, voicey and ideally a great hook!

Still looking for a voicey/dark MG (a la Coraline), YA Leverage, and a m/m erotic romance fairy tale retelling #MSWL #BookEndsChat

Open to queries! High on my #MSWL: millennial upmarket fic, literary mystery, dark/scary YA F & voicey contemp. Marginalized voices, always.

#MSWL lush YA fantasy w/ a fresh concept a la WINTERSONG and high concept voicey contemp with killer characters a la John Corey Whaley

Smart YA romance (think Stephanie Perkins), voicey contemp YA, immersive YA fantasy that feels like something new (think Wintersong) #MSWL

Would love a book, YA or MG, that's just a bucket of sass--loud, voicey, snarky humor, with an MC I can root for. #MSWL

More voicey MG and YA (any genre) but *not* voicey wound-licking misery-fests. #MSWL

Voicey YA/MG w diverse male MC, such as FIVE, SIX, SEVEN, NATE!; ALL AMERICAN BOYS; THE ABSOLUTELY TRUE DIARY OF A PART-TIME INDIAN #MSWL

Liza: A charming, funny, voicey, transporting novel, Barbara Pym meets Penelope Lively. #MSWL

#MSWL #MG or #YA I'd love a voicey, literary novel where the setting and/or time is almost a character.
