I think there is a desperate need to fill the upper middle grade/young YA space.I also think there's a desperate need for young middle grade that is much shorter to transition readers from chapter books to MG. I so rarely see subs in that space. We need to fix that.
Writers, if you have something that will fit this description, please query me! #WritingCommunity #amquerying #MSWL

I'm seeing a lot of #queries with characters dealing w/ #mentalillness, which is something I ask for, however, I must make a note: the story should NOT just focus on this character's emotional journey--- there must be PLOT and STAKES. Let's be more creative #writers!I also want to add to this.. don't let the #mentalillness define your book. Just like you wouldn't want an illness to define you. #querytip #pubtip #amwriting #MSWL

Happy Friday! Eager for more adult queries - looking for contemporary, smart #womensfiction (maybe to make me cry tears of joy?!), and more psychological suspense with in-depth character dynamics within an intimate setting. #MSWL #querytip
