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

And finally, if you see something that adds to me to your querying list, here’s how to submit to me: ldlainc.com/submissions #MSWL

Also, I try to keep my #MSWL posts thematically broad, and not grocery list items. So you don’t have to check boxes with me.

Everything is “epic” and “sweeping.” Can we go back to leaner and tighter plots? Just a little? Hmm? #querytip #MSWL

The query pile has been dead quiet this week. Time to get back up, everyone. Diverse kids’ books please! #wndb #ownvoices #mswl

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

Bonus: narrative non-fiction would be such a great opportunity for #ownvoices #WeNeedDiverseBooks. Hit me with them. #MSWL

Where is the narrative non-fiction/ memoir for teens? It’s so open: compelling personal narratives that are relevant to kids today. #mswl

FWIW, I try to keep my #MSWL items pretty generalized—I’m looking for broader feelings and concepts, not grocery list plot points.

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

The biggest hole in my list is #MG. Big feels. Big adventures. Big concept. Big fun. #MSWL

Someday I’ll get a brilliant tale with Jewish magical realism. Someday. #MSWL #YA

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’m very anti-suffering right now. No misery-fests in my inbox, please. #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

And I would very much like to find some for you! #MSWL twitter.com/MarthaMihalick…

Also, I’ve updated my submissions page to include kids’ non-fiction. redtreeliterary.com/submissions/ #mswl

A word about #mswl: My posts are meant to be more global and less grocery-list. You’re always welcome to query if you think I’m a fit.

@MarielRustling Definitely! My #mswl tweets are perennial.
