Manuscript Wish List®

A gentle reminder that #MSWL is just for agents and editors to post their wishes. We’ve seen some agents blocking writers posting in the feed, and don’t want this to happen to you!

I'm late for #MSWL day but better late than never? 👀 I represent YA and adult across literary, upmarket, and speculative spaces, and am hungry to find my next obsession that I just can't put down! (1/4)

Hi Darling Axe, your interviews are great! But the only posts using the hashtag should come from the editors and agents themselves. (Also-- not a robot!) Thanks so much!

I would love a MG or YA set in fandom. Fanfiction, conventions, etc. the same vibe as Turning Red, where kids feel like kids with their obsessions #MSWL

thanks so much!!

My sweet spot as an acquiring editor at @lakedrivebooks.bsky.social is DV survivors from a religious context sharing their stories of escape, rebirth, and renewal. I'd also love a deconstructed parenting guide from a cycle breaker who survived James Dobson et al! #MSWL

"Time periods I like to read about: 1920s-present day. I don't read a lot of historical fiction older than that (like FOUR WINDS, OUR WOMAN IN MOSCOW, and Beatriz Williams in general)."

Hi RevPit! A gentle reminder that #MSWL is just for agents and acquiring editors to post their wishes directly.

"I’m interested in love stories that may not fit the definition of romance, such as found family, platonic soulmates, and relationships without a happily ever after."

"In YA, I would love a voice-y, meaningful coming of age story like DARIUS THE GREAT IS NOT OKAY by Adib Khorram or FIREKEEPER’S DAUGHTER by Angeline Boulley."

It's not #MSWL Day anymore, but since I've opened back up to queries. Here's one more: the dynamic of Lady Heather and Grissom in CSI...but actually leading to an on-the-page romance.

I'm late to the party bc I was working (go figure), but some #mswl posts coming up! 🌻If you have work for me, whether I post I'm looking for it or not, pls follow the submissions guidelines at www.dclagency.com! 🌻 For illustrators, just send a link to your portfolio &/or pdf of your project.

Hi! I'm currently closed to subs, but will be open soon. I'll announce when here, so feel free to follow. I rep picture books, YA, adult, fiction and non-fiction and love unforgettable stories. Always looking for great works! My wishlist and guidelines here #mswl: www.jdlit.com/marie-lamba

#MSWL looking for a magical realism romance/romcom like Ashley Poston!

Hey loves #mswl - I love clowns? They're a hard sell apparently, but I love em in fiction & nonfiction. Send me your tricksters, your jokesters, your goofy goofs, clowns throughout history, panto stuff, clown communities of color, queer clowns, your beautiful doofs, send em.

#MSWL would love to find a romantic suspense leaning more romance (romance with murder?) similar to Catherine Cowles!

#MSWL I’d love a paranormal thriller like Simone St. James and Lisa Unger!

#mswl - broadly, I'm looking for prose right now - cozy, cute, funny romance (w some social tooth tho); horror, generally; feminist fiction in the speculative space; ecological and conservationist lenses; mysteries/murder fiction that don't center police (or even crime, be creative haha)

#mswl think petty crimes the podcast but a book (fictional petty shit that exists for a purpose, illuminates our society, makes us think, + petty fun).... up for this in any genre, send me petty gossip, petty drama prose
