#MSWL YA or MG PoC Lara Croft / Indiana Jones type character (any gender!) that steals artifacts in order to return them to their cultures of origin šIād love a project like this, especially if it has strong anthropology themes! #MSWL

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
