Manuscript Wishlist

Stephanie Winter represents a wide array of genres and age categories, from picture books & graphic novels to adult prescriptive nonfiction & cookbooks.

  • I am on the hunt for gift books and prescriptive nonfiction, encompassing cooking, beverages, wellbeing, how-to, and more. With interests in a variety of spaces (lifestyle, geekery, and cultural criticism), if your topic is not on this list, chances are I still want to see it.

    Please send me your:

    • Inclusive lifestyle, hobby, and science/animal nonfiction

    • Unique takes on cookbooks, baking books, and beverages with an emphasis on creator's expertise.

    • Energetically witchy takes on all things.

    • Gift books you might find on the Chronicle Books or Running Press websites.

  • In fiction, I’m a Final Girl nerd, ready to devour your next horror/thriller/suspense novel.

    I seek smart, fast-paced literary and upmarket fiction with big hooks, for fans of Four Seasons, The People We Hate at Weddings, The Chair, The Perfect Couple, Deadloch, & high production reality tv, etc.

  • I am actively acquiring young adult and middle grade graphic novels. Genres/content I’m most hungry for include horror, romance with big hooks, friendship adventure stories, mental health representation, BIPOC & queer stories, and nuanced representation exploring masculinity, gender identity, and more.

  • I’m seeking fresh character- and plot-driven picture books. I love magic and whimsy, and wry humor. I am currently open to author/illustrator submissions at this time.

  • From purposeful tarot decks to interactive books and everything in between, if you’re creating such a project, I would love to hear more.

  • Some of my favorites include: Deadloch (TV), Survival of the Thickest (TV), Acts of Violet (Book), Grady Hendrix (Author), Flawless (Book), I Have Some Questions for You (Book), The Paper (TV), The Last Housewife (Book), Stone Cold Fox (Book), & Everything Everywhere All at Once (Film).
