#MSWL update
I'm sure that many of you have seen the hashtag #MSWL on Twitter, referring to Manuscript Wish Lists for agents/editors. GalleyCat did a post on the topic back at the end of June (you can read that post HERE). Here are three new #MSWL tweets from the last week:
Bree Ogden
I could totally go for an unapologetic horror manuscript with lots of death and bizarre elements!
Aurora Regency
I'm looking for a nontraditional heroine. Not that I don't love the ladies of the ton, but want something new.
Aurora Regency
Looking for fresh settings, unusual heroines, crisp, snappy dialogue. Would love a good Early Georgian or Paris during the terror...
And here's a link to a lovely list that a lovely somebody (would love to give credit, but I'm not sure who's responsible for it!) put together as a #MSWL round-up:
AGENT/EDITOR WISH LIST
According to agent Jessica Sinsheimer (the brains behind this great idea) there will be another official #MSWL event with new tweets coming in September!
*I'll be with family next week, but will be back the following Friday. An interview with the amazing Tina Wexler is coming soon!
