Heading into summer reading, updated #MSWL , on #QueryManager . Would like to see more YA, NA, and Adult science fiction, family saga, and unique retellings. Can have subgenres in historical, horror, magical realism, military, speculative, environmental/climate, & extinction.

🧠nonfiction #MSWL : I’m drawn to big-idea books with cultural bite, fresh frameworks, and urgent POVs.
Especially :
— The future of work & identity
— Feminist wellness or aging with agency
— Counterintuitive health, climate, or spiritual narratives

I'm open to most things but actively DO NOT WANT: climate fiction, pro-religious texts and as always, any author that is not writing to uplift every child regardless of family, heritage, body, heart or soul.

I'd like to see fantasy that tackles climate change. I see it a lot in sci-fi and horror, but less so in fantasy, and I think it could be interesting and unique. Any age category! #mswl

—Stories that examine contemporary issues using horror/speculative elements as the vehicle (think Jordan Peele or Stephen Graham Jones)
—Sentient plants or natural settings with a sinister undertone (a la Annihilation)—bonus if it speaks to our climate crisis without being too heavy handed
3/6 #MSWL

Seeking nonfiction from thought leaders in Women’s Wellness, Parenting, Climate Tech, and Financial Literacy. #mswl

Right now I'm very interested in:
- dark academia that emphasizes the academics
- eco/climate fiction
- thrillers that aren't centered on/launched by murder
- #ownvoices folklore from cultures that are underrepresented in the English market
#mswl

• YA Eco-Fiction: in today’s world or very near future, teens battling climate change or actively searching to save a species from extinction
• YA Thriller: edge of your seat who dunnit mystery, (Cruel Summer x One of Us is Lying)

Romantic Fantasy, Domestic Thrillers, Historical Fiction, Diverse Voices, Climate Fiction (Cli-Fi), Science Fiction, Romantic Comedy (Rom-Com) #MSWL #ManuscriptWishList #MSWISHLIST #ManuscriptWL

4. Eco-fiction: This one is so important to me as a climate advocate. I'd love to see YA stories about teens addressing climate change, fighting for environmental issues, or trying to save a species from extinction. Tug at my heartstrings and make me want to save the world. (5/8)

💚 ECO FICTION 💚
YA Climate, nature-heavy fantasy

💚 ANTICOLONIAL WORK 💚
In historical or fantasy, I want themes of condemnation of colonizers &/or Muslims reclaiming heritage

💚 REVISE & RESUBMIT 💚
Anyone with an R&R should know I am always open to re-queries.

(2/2)

Love love LOVE this gorgeous book cover and sweet story! More exciting book news coming soon! #mswl #kidlit #books #climate #literaryagent #mswishlist #amquerying #animalbooks #pandas #kidbooks

Speculative stories - I'm NOT a good fit for rigid dystopias full of government control and categorization of the populace.

Please send me speculative worlds that look like ours with One Big Change. Show me the human response to disaster, politics, or climate change. #MSWL

Pondering my current #mswl. I’d still love to see some high-concept YA romance (if queer then all the better) that addresses the climate crisis… ecological, possibly international, could be a version of our world, could be fantasy?

As a note for those #amquerying and reading my #mswl, I am not the right match for:
-romantic suspense
-climate/eco thrillers
-books dealing with covid
-terrorism plots
-court room dramas

Examples of topics in NF: tipping culture; hysteria (diseases historically associated with women); spirituality in the age of atheism; occupational segregation; climate change; public trust; exploration between personal desensitization and wealth.

"Themes that I'm looking for in terms of nonfiction include: Privacy; Big Tech vs. Government; Flexibility, Climate Change, and Infrastructure. Bonus points if you're conveying an original idea through a counterintuitive angle."

With natural disaster or elemental elements that could be based off the climate crisis, but if you’re calling your book Cli-Fi or that it’s based around a deteriorating climate…I will unfortunately, probably, reject it. Even then, I’ll only be open for YA Sci-Fi at that. #mswl

✨Character driven cli-fi or science fantasy based on locales where colonization & socioeconomic disparities have compounded the effects of climate change.
✨Reimaginings of classics from different cultural perspectives
