Actively searching for brilliant children’s authors writing MG or YA (nothing too high fantasy though...). Please get in touch via submissions@watsonlittle.com if you have something I might like! #mswl

I'd love a good novel that explores the affective/emotional life as a key plot development device. I'd also love of a novel that treats of healthy religiosity--for YAs or adults both. So often, religion is negatively grasped and/or understood as damaging. #MSWL

My bizarre fascination with these girl scammer stories—and the toxic friendships they rely on—means I’m craving a fiction YA (and age-appropriate) retelling! #MSWL

...if anyone’s got a YA about toxic female friendships... #MSWL

There’s a K-drama called Revenge Note (I know it’s kind of sounds like Death Note). It’s about a teen who has an app called Revenge Note that appears on her phone one day. You can enter the name of someone you want to take revenge on. I want this in a YA!!! #mswl

I'm open to queries again! Would love some compelling YA/MG (maybe some social justice thrown in?), can't-put-down Book Club fiction, a good Thriller #ownvoices #MSWL stringerlit.com

Seeing so much YA where the protag is Not Into Instagram, celeb gossip, etc. in a way that suggests she's too good/smart for it. It's a valid character choice, but it's also valid for young women to be into that stuff!This is why I need my Spice Girls YA. Celeb culture and gossip are so fascinating. #mswl

#MSWL Would love to see some fantasy based on non-western cultures. Adult, YA and MG. I will look at it all but especially like darker elements.

Still really really looking for an updated YA GIRL: INTERRUPTED type story! Powerful, combustible friendships between teen girls, and stories that talk about the weird, emotionally-fraught ups and downs of teen friendships. #MSWLI am still on the hunt for this project! If you have a book like this, please send it my way! Would love to see some amount of queerness in this story, too. #MSWL

I’d love more YA contemporaries. Give me angst, heartache, love, issues, crisis, and VOICE!!! Show me your story will stand out, and make me feel like a teen is showing me their story, not an adult telling me about it. Give me all the feels! #mswl #amquerying #writingcommunityI’m still looking for this👇🏻and #ownvoices and #diversity too!!! #MSWL #amquerying #writingcommunity

Is anyone else into the show Let's Eat because I'd really love a #ownvoices #DV, contemporary #YA book with the same kind of style about a MC who just lives for food. Also if it could include some mouth-watering descriptions I would appreciate it. Cool thanks! #mswl
