And finally, since I'm not seeing many of these in my inbox, I'd like to put out a call for Indigenous stories, and not limited to the US region. No limits on the topic either - I'm seeking Indigenous stories of any topic for all age groups (MG, YA, adult). #MSWL x.com/rleskildsen/status/1730230363237036447/photo/1Hi writers - I'm still closed to queries, but if there are any Indigenous writers with query-ready projects, I would like to invite you to query me now anyway. I would love to hear from you. #MSWL

I feel like my picture book “brand” as an editor is on fully evident based on the titles of my 2026 books alone: Broccoli Is Trying to Kill Me, I Told a Little Lie, and If My Sister Were a Worm… #cheekyhumor #mswl

Had the privilege of reading SO many great books this year, I thought I'd put together a visual #mswl
These titles are all amazing and I'd love to see something similar!
*forever haunted by the books I didn't get to add to this list*

High concept, upmarket work that explores family/culture/history à la THE JOY LUCK CLUB.

Specific #MSWL :
Stories that involve managing fame/fortune as an emerging adult (could be ensemble cast as in the protagonist is a member of an idol group) & could involve pace-y elements of suspense/romance. Really looking for high concept, not too introspective stuff.
