#MSWL while I absolutely love middle grade horror and dark fantasy, I'm seeing A LOT of it in queries. Would love to see some variety! Sci-fi, fairytale retellings, contemporary, something tragic, joyful stories, series oriented, adventure, etc

Spencerhillassociates.com, my manuscript wishlist page, my #MSWL :)

As I open to queries today, I join my fellow agents and editors in the sheer fear of future volume, but also a lot of excitement at finding those projects destined to become books. Let's go do it!

Terrifying #MSWL

Literally the most fascinating of stories. Like how do I #MSWL this? The adventures of Boji, Istanbul’s traveling dog cnn.com/interactive/20…

#MSWL I'm in the mood for some quirky scifi. I'm still sad over the quirky scifi project that got away! I want some rebound quirky scifi please.

#MSWL Middle Grade kid chefs. Lots of unique fun-for-kids recipes the character make themselves that kid readers can try to make.

#MSWL I would so love a women’s fiction or rom-com with a heroine like this.

Bonus #MSWL. I adore adventurous space opera of all kinds. (Ex Beth Revis Across the Universe or Passengers) but really want a focus on adventure and discovering new worlds.

#MSWL MY DREAM PROJECT.

Does anyone have this???

🚀WAKANDA IN SPACE👽

... not actually Wakanda (copyrights you know?) but highly-technical, gloriously deeply cultural, #ownvoices only please. Wakanda x Star Trek.

Reply here if you query me this!

This GIANT SPACE rocket falling to 🌏 is making me think about people living on a far-future grimdark earth, high tech, but space junk is always falling, destroying, changing lives & fortunes, & of course there're the elite who live up above & make the mess down below. #MSWL

TBH, I was just thinking about A DOG's PURPOSE, and then I was all like, "oh yeah but make it YA, and smoochie, and like darkly romantic, and not about dogs, but people, and maybe the world has magic already ..." So, that's my brain.

#MSWL part two. Would also really like to be immersed in each of the different lives, not just looking back on them. I want to be there across time.

#MSWL I think it'd be really cool to get a YA fantasy (probs with a heavy romance subplot) with reincarnation as the crux upon which the pendulum swings. Doesn't have to be set on a realistic earth. Could be a fantasy world to make the world building deeper. Either way.

#MSWL teenage angst, longing, unrequited love, confusion, completely just *missing* each other, converging class expectations maybe?, tension you could cut with knife, longing without getting, so many almost moments

Eternal #MSWL (that hand flex, though... 😍)

#MSWL A take on Red, White and Royal Blue but with rival mafia kids. Lots of adventure please.

#MSWL I would love to discover a heart-melting swoon-inducing debut author for Nicola and David’s new Joy Revolution imprint at Random House—publishing teen love stories *by and about people of color!* If you have the kissy books for Joy Revolution, query me!!! 💋💋📚

#MSWL “Clean” (for lack of a better term) contemporary YA romance with all the yummy feels.

I’d love some middle grade sci-fi too! #MSWL
