Was talking to an editor today and we both agreed that we desperately want some hilarious girl books for MG, like Diary of A Wimpy Kid for girls instead of boys. #MSWL because this would be boss and thereβs a need for it.

Just had a talk with one of my beloved editor friends and weβre both dying for some WOLVES. Not werewolves, but like Game of Thrones wolves in YA or MG. WHO HAS THIS? Because we need it. Desperately. #MSWL

#MSWL I had a MG Wolf shapeshifter story slip through my fingers and I was slightly devastated. If you have one (and they're not actually called werewolves), I want it. I'm still hesitant on the vampires unless done differently, but wolves... Wolves are a must!

#MSWL MG is usually where you'll see my love of space adventures come into play, as well! I'm not a huge fan of space, but for whatever reason, I love them in MG. Imaginations galore!

#MSWL MG Diverse and LGBTQIA+ voices. Middle grade is really some of the toughest years of my life, and anything that can help them realize it's okay to be different, is helpful. Love ghost stories and stories of crushes and friendship at this age.

I'm still running on U.K. time, so I'm a little exhausted, but I'm super excited to be at the Hilton and getting prepped and ready for #WDC18 #pitchSlam tomorrow! If you have MG, YA, or Adult romance, fantasy, futuristic sci-fi, or anything on my #MSWL, come pitch me tomorrow!

So, fortunately and unfortunately, I have SO MANY fantasy and sci-fi projects that I've signed and that I still have to read and decide, which means I'll probably only like maybe one or two #sffpit pitches today. I'm sorry! But the rest of #TeamCorvisiero will be out in force! pic.twitter.com/INYAOgs8jGIn addition to this, I'm looking for some great YA and adult contemporaries and contemporary romances! π Also, I'm still on the lookout for a MG author to add to #TheFellowship! β€οΈ So if you have something that matches my #MSWL, shoot me a query with the MSWL mention! π

@YAFantasyFan Hi Kelly, would you consider repping a MG contemporary if it spoke to you? Thanks so much!Yes, I would! :) Specifically if it's heart warming MG and has LGBTQIA+ characters. #MSWL

I want this so bad! Would love it in either YA or adult but prefer adult fiction. #MSWL twitter.com/yafantasyfan/sβ¦And I'll prefer YA! Perfect! Actually, this would make a really amazing MG too. Kid who wants to do this for a living and ends up trying to follow them and mimic them and such, and gets taken under the wing of one of the women. π±ππ»β€οΈ #MSWL

#MSWL FULL BLOWN TRIBAL FANTASY with Native American influences or Native American mythology/stories. Make it dark, brutal, and heartbreakingly realistic, especially if it's #ownvoices. I want to be educated here.#MSWL MG with female MC who goes to space camp and kicks all the boys butts because she wants to be an astronaut and her idol is Sally Ride. So she learns to read the stars, understand horoscopes, and uses it all to navigate friendships.

Random #mswl, but if you have a MG that literally makes me laugh out loud, I'm in love with it.
