My Manuscript Wish List®

Danielle Bukowski has been at SLL since 2014. If you like the books she’s worked on before, she’d probably like to consider yours on submission.

Her personal website is kept more updated and includes a submission portal: https://daniellebukowski.com/

In fiction, she is looking for: genre-blending and genre-blending fiction; one-buy-sci-fi; speculative romance; weird girl lit; upmarket horror; literary fiction with something offbeat about it; feel-good upmarket fiction; characters to root for; love triangles; historical that resonates today; books about work, office culture, careers; books with unique settings and within niche subcultures; locked room; hooks pulled from headlines or true stories (but not true crime); coming-of-age whatever the age.

In nonfiction, she is looking for: reported nonfiction with a personal connection for the author; narrative nonfiction about a niche subculture; using a small example to tell a larger story about broader society; any small focus that speaks to something larger; historical that resonates today; a general interest in visual art, museums, women in sports, unsung heroes, craft and creativity, books about books, curation, the natural world, alternative lifestyles.

In all categories she is particularly looking for work by writers traditionally excluded from the publishing industry.
