This is super specific and if this book exists please tell me, but I would love to see something in my queries along the lines of Braiding Sweetgrass, but about gender and from a two-spirits author. So… just throwing that #mswl out there in hopes that the right writer sees this!

@BigKidBookworm Hi Emelie! How do you feel about character-driven, light sci fi in MG?
Replying to @chrissydvs10

Hi there! In general, I'm not the best fit for sci-fi, but there have been exceptions! If you've read my #mswl and feel like your book fits my tastes, feel free to query me so I can read a sample of your work.

This essay from Ethan Hawke on one of my all-time favorite films perfectly captures what I love about slice-of-life narratives. I'm working on revising my 2023 #mswl and this movie is absolutely one to take note of if you're looking to work with me!

Today feels like a good day to remind trans writers that I'm always looking to amplify LGBT voices. I might be closed to queries right now, but when I open back up, check out my #mswl and send me your stuff if you think I'm the right fit for you and your work!

I just did a MASSIVE update to my #MSWL page to hopefully clear up some questions about what I'm looking for. Authors, if your book seems like a good fit, let's chat!

Today feels like a good day to let #indigenouswriters know that I'm always looking for more #indigenousYA submissions.

Okay, time to share my #MSWL:
Children's, YA, & Pop Culture Nonfiction are my 🍞&🧈. I love stories of hope and humor, a good rom-com, strong female leads, and magic of all sorts! Big fan of LGBT+ and BIPOC joy. I don't love murder. DM me for query guidelines!
