Time for a 2019 #MSWL. I am very much looking for MG and chapter books. Much as I love YA, I have a lot of it!Basically...if you decide to query Michael, you should query me too. #MSWL (is that how this works?)

I really do need more MG. @JoshuaSLevy needs friends. (I mean, he has friends. Just not on my list.) Voicey, plot-driven, strong concepts, heaps of fun or cleverness. Nothing depressing. Heartfelt, yes. But not depressing. #mswl

I nuked a bunch of tweets, so I'm going to re-up a bunch of my #MSWL wants and needs. I'm pretty full-up on YA right now, and much hungrier for PBs and MG. But here's some more deets...

I always always love contemporaries (YA/MG) with splashes of extra (sci-fi, fantasy, etc). Just good, commercial hooks. #MSWL

Really hungry for some funny, heartfelt, non-issue-heavy MG, with great family relationships. My list has nothing but room for MG. #mswl

Tip: I have more room on my list for MG than YA right now. Diverse, plot-driven, imaginative, high-concept, heartfelt. Hit me. #MSWL

I am also looking for non-fiction for MG/YA! Narrative NF, memoir, or just intriguing topics that kids can see themselves in. #MSWL

For MG/YA, I’m looking for high-concept or commercial-leaning fiction. Good plots and good twists. Not picky on genre (but NO horror). #MSWL

Literary Agent
I really don't have enough magic or magical realism on my list right now. MG or YA. But I don't want witchy-magic. #MSWL

More voicey MG and YA (any genre) but *not* voicey wound-licking misery-fests. #MSWL

YA and MG with high stakes but nobody dies in the end. Broken hearts. Big decisions. All fine. Just no mass devastation or death. #mswl

I say this a lot but: Contemporary MG and YA with a well-executed, creative splash of something extra (sci-fi, fantasy, etc.) #mswl

MG and YA with rich cultural backgrounds that are integral to the depth of the story but aren't the problem/issue. #mswl

I’ve been *loving* Kids Baking Championship and Project Runway Jr. and I want more MG with creative, passionate, fun, real kids. #mswl
