Welcome to Inside the Publishing World Wednesday! Today I am sharing those tweets from agents and editors about their wishlist manuscripts.
Linda Epstein- Literary Agency @EmeraldCityLit
@LindaEpstein
I am still closed to unsolicited queries. I will be open to middle grade & young adult manuscript submissions only from April 1st through June 30th, 2019. Please check #MSWL to see what I'm looking for.
I have been asking for/yearning for a middle grade or YA story set in the Shanghai Jewish Ghetto during World War 2 for NINE YEARS. I REALLY want this. If you have written that story, please send it to me! #MSWL

New #MSWL: adult suspense novel featuring a pregnant protagonist
Jessica Faust- President of BookEnds Literary Agency

Definitely interested in a book on this theme: women's fiction, psych suspense, suspense, thriller (YA would be better for @jamerrson) #MSWL

The legendary Andrea Davis Pinkney once said, "We need to see more black kids riding dragons" and this is basically my #MSWL summed up.
Marisa DiNovis- Associate Editor at Alfred A. Knopf Books for Young Readers.
@dinovisms
Genre-bending, standalone YA spec fic that puts me in the mind of Jane, Unlimited—a book I read over a year ago and still think about on a weekly basis. Bonus points for a sweeping yet claustrophobic setting like Tu Reviens! #mswl

My niche seems to be publishing books featuring fantastical, magical trees. Send me your magical trees.

I, too, am a witchy lady of the forest. #MSWL
A what not to send-
Andrea Hintz- Editor @FillesVertesPub.
@andrea_hintz
Ok #writerscommunity, my #MSWL no longer includes historical fiction. You have buried me in enough HF queries that I will be historical fiction by the time I get through them all.
Kerstin Wolf- Literary Agent at D4EO
@Kerstin_Wolf
This also includes a queen that goes after what she wants and won’t tolerate being walked over! A queen that runs a tight ship. #mswl
Peter Knapp- Lit agent with @parkandfine.
@petejknapp
#mswl - a sweeping middle grade series with heart and humor! Related, but more specifically: a middle grade series with puzzle-y elements. And, always, middle grade with magic, especially cozy magic!
Stephanie Stein -Editor @HarperChildrens & @HarperTeen
@stephlystein
“Cozy magic” is my new eternal wish list item. EXTREME bonus points if I get a magical school with it. #mswl
