My new morning self-pep-talk is whispering to myself, "have to fight. Have to Fly. Have to CROW. Havetosavemaggiehavetosavejack" before I leave my apartment and then chanting HOOK HOOK HOOK HOOK for the whole 40 minute train ride to work. You're welcome, NYC.#mswl #mg - child train pirates living in the broken down subway cars at the end of the world, a friendship/sibling story.

I always on the lookout for YA fantasy with dark and complicated family relationships/friendships inspired by non-European cultures! #MSWL

I have finally FINALLY made my #MSWL page. Already itching to update it. Check me out, agent friends: manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/hann…
I want urban fantasy in MG too please! Series potential and big friend groups, family-focused, heartfelt—would love to fight some surprise tears reading a fun, sweeping adventure. #MSWL
For my MG, right now I really want magical adventure! Send me something fantastical and fun, with a great hook, and friendships that shine. Especially if there are any non-human magical characters incorporated in a fresh way. #MSWL

On my #MSWL, contemporary middle grade books about boys and friendship. Boys care and worry about and love their friends, but there aren’t enough books that tackle those emotions and experiences.

Tropes I love: celebrities, cowboys, fairy tale remakes, fake engagement, fish out of water, friends to loves, makeover, mistaken identity, road trip, opposites attract, return to hometown, reunion/second chance, royalty, etc! #MSWL @HallmarkPublish

Heartwarming, chaste black romance (esp w/series potential) by #ownvoices, please! Family and friends as important secondary cast. U.S. small town or big city is fine. Fun takes on favorite tropes. Would LOVE holiday themes too! #MSWL @HallmarkPublish

And if you're like "I'm not 100% sure this sci-fi/fantasy works for the genre because it's more about the sibling/BFF relationship as they navigate the speculative world..." QUERY ME PLZ #MSWL

Ever have a friend crush? Like someone you just want to be platonically friends with so bad it hurts but you're too awkward and have no idea how friendships are initiated SO YOU JUST SIT THERE SAD HOPING THEYLL NOTICE YOU. AND WHY DO I SUDDENLY WANT TO MAKE THIS A BOOKum YES #MSWL

#mswl I know I’m currently closed for submissions but I’ve been watching Alexa & Katie on Netflix and would love a story about two girls and the strength of their friendship while one battles an illness. Would definitely make an exception for this!

#MSWL Love stories ala Gayle Forman or David Nicholls. All the feels, all the sobs, all the love. Love tropes like unrequited love, enemies/friends to lovers, or job passion romances, IF executed well.

#MSWL Stories exploring how male/male and female/female friendships grow and change, for better or worse. Here's an interesting listen on male friendships. npr.org/2018/03/19/594…

"I think if people want a perfect snapshot of what it was like to come of age in the '90s and be a young person in that moment, Dawson’s will always be a time capsule of that." share.ew.com/QKq8jCq #DawsonsCreek #CreekWeek pic.twitter.com/0t8bTuXY2pExactly. And here's to nostalgia-inducing stories of friendship and first love. #MSWL
