The change of season has me hankering for a dark, twisty YA thriller or a chilling, atmospheric horror! Send me your goodies, writers! #MSWL #querytip #amqueryingThis still holds true, even though the season's changed. Also, #paranormal submissions for #YA and #MG, please! #MSWL

I always love strong cultural themes in the stories I look for -my college major was anthropology & I love learning abt other people's worldviews - elevating these fosters understanding, inclusion & acceptance. #MSWL #diversevoices #ownvoices

Reading queries this happy Saturday morning and realizing I am such a sucker for novels in verse. #agentlife #querytip #amquerying #MSWL
Hilary Harwell @HilaryHarwell · 1 Feb 2019
VERY hungry for some new middle grade projects right now - send me your #MG mysteries, heartfelt contemporary, #ownvoices projects #amquerying writers! #MSWL Oh, and some dark stuff too. #horror #darkfantasy
Hilary Harwell @HilaryHarwell · 17 Jan 2019
And last but definitely not least, I'd love a #YA #native #ownvoices story like KT client @RoanhorseBex 's. What an amazing story. #agencylove #MSWL
Hilary Harwell @HilaryHarwell · 17 Jan 2019
And as much as I love the dark stuff, I equally adore a good #YA #romance and #MG or #YA #Humor! I love sharp wit and a good laugh. #MSWL
Hilary Harwell @HilaryHarwell · 17 Jan 2019
Oh, and serial killers - I'd love a good #YA serial killer story! #MSWL
Hilary Harwell @HilaryHarwell · 17 Jan 2019
I'd love a chilling #YA #Horror too - heavy atmosphere, heavy tension/anticipation. Scare me, please!! #MSWL #SouthernGothic
Hilary Harwell @HilaryHarwell · 17 Jan 2019
I'm also still looking for a wildly original #MG #fantasy a la THE NIGHT GARDENER or the SERAPHINA series. #MSWL
Hilary Harwell @HilaryHarwell · 17 Jan 2019

Now that I’m back open to queries here’s a bit of my #MSWL - YA near future Sci Fi, atmospheric Southern Gothic, and witches. All the witches. #MG #YA #diversevoices #ownvoices
Hilary Harwell @HilaryHarwell · 21 Mar 2018
Just read a query that made me so hungry for more #voudou #NewOrleans #haiti #southerngothic - any sort of cultural element in that realm. PLEASE! #mswl #MG # YA
Hilary Harwell @HilaryHarwell · 10 Feb 2018
Writers, please send me your #YA #magicalrealism projects! Was chatting with editors at #alamw18 today and that’s on their lists! #MSWL
