4) I love Harriett The Spy, Artemis Fowl, and Encyclopedia Brown. I always want more clever, observant kids. (Working moral compass not required) #MSWL

3) Send me your intelligent absurdists, your Monty Pythons and Terry Pratchetts for MG. Make my brain giggle. Fart jokes need not apply. #MSWL

2) I have two different laughs: the snort and the guffaw. The snort is easy. I want an MG that makes me guffaw. #MSWL

Finally reopening to queries, and I’m going to tweet out some things I want to see in my (newly empty) inbox. Thread 👇 #MSWL

To start, all previous #MSWL tweets are still fair game. Even if it was over a year ago, I’m still on the lookout.

Surprise! I am now reopen to queries! #MSWL thread forthcoming for what I’d love to see in my inbox.

I want more small stories in epic settings

What I mean: fantasy worlds, galaxy-spanning space confederacies, magical kingdoms, living cities, etc. etc. etc. as settings but a focus on small stories within those settings

I’m still closed to queries, but when I reopen... 👇 #MSWL

Little Bummer Boy @vandroidhelsing

For thirty years, you've been confessing. Novel after novel, each of them containing a key detail: weapon, time, motive, even décor. Something that, to use the cliché, nobody else could possibly know.

They'll figure it out eventually. Until then, it's time for tea. pic.twitter.com/498yDHscQH

In classical ballet, it's a milestone when a ballerina dances their first soloist role without the uniform corps de ballet. For Chase Johnsey, the most profound moment of his career was being able to blend in amidst a sea of corps dancers. #Pride2018 refinery29.com/chase-johnsey-…

Sends out a million #MSWL wishes into the universe for a YA version of this to show up in my inbox.

Been on a bit of a romcom kick for the past several months, and I’d love to see something cute, funny, smart, and sexy. #mswl

If you can describe your novel as having a commercial premise with a literary execution, send it my way. #mswl

I love fantasy, but please nothing Tolkien-esque. SorryNotSorry, but I’m not a fan. #mswl

I love horror, but not overly-supernatural. I prefer reality-based scares. #mswl
