Manuscript Wish List (MSWL)

Looking For

For middle grade, spooky stories with a sense of humor and atmosphere. For young adult, speculative elements in mystery/thrillers or dark fantasy/horror with morally gray protagonists. For adult, literary books with speculative elements that explore societal inequalities and mythologies, as well as mysteries and thrillers with cinematic feel. For graphic novels, grounded young adult fantasy focusing on found families and identity. For nonfiction, memoirs about specialized careers and experiences, proposals on medicine, trauma, wildlife, nature, and mental health.
