I'm still looking for a funny middle-grade novel in the vein of Rick Riordan Presents. Other comps include Ms. Marvel, ATLA, or a really gay School for Good and Evil. #MSWL

📢Announcement!📢I'm closing to queries November 1st and won't reopen until the new year! I recently signed some awesome authors and I'm going to focus on them. However, I'm still searching for a couple more clients to meet a gap in my current list. (See #mswl thread below.)
Hey #mswl! I'm closing tomorrow and would love more queries before I do. Still looking for a good MG and a romcom!

Also, more graphic novel authors and illustrators! I'm open to all categories, but especially love MG and YA. Mostly looking for inclusive, diverse stories from underrepresented communities. #MSWL #GraphicNovel #illustrator
Shout out my lovely clients @jocabako and @Schnumn!

More middle grade! I tend to love MG novels that have a classic feel to them that will be loved for generations to come or MG with series potential like Percy Jackson! Would love something with puzzles. Funny voices. Literary voices. #MSWL

tara 💫 open to queries 🎉 @Literary_Tara
I had a dream where we went to this old house where an old lady lived, and she gave off creepy vibes that weren't natural. So after we all were assigned our rooms and everyone was asleep I went searching. There was a part of the house that was off limits. It was familiar to me...My #2 #mswl queer horror stories in MG, YA, and adult. Horror in all shapes and sizes. I'm usually not a slasher or body horror person, though. I like psychological and supernatural, usually. Maybe something where the environment is the antagonist. Also... twitter.com/Literary_Tara/…

My #4 #mswl is a MG that includes puzzles, mazes, riddles, etc. Add a sphinx, and I'm sold. MG, in general, is top of my list.
Literary Agent
My #6 #mswl is a best friend break up story! in YA or MG. Maybe even new adult? Think Booksmart!

Indigenous stories by actual indigenous authors. Any genre in MG, YA, and adult. #MSWL

Y'all, I'm going to really focus on MG when I reopen in a couple weeks. Just a heads up on the #amquerying crowd. #MSWL
Literary Agent
Before I close for queries tomorrow, I wanted to get out a #mswl of what I really want to see in my inbox.
- Authors of underrepresented communities (POC, LGBTQIA+, body, neuro, disabled)
- Fat girl stories where their weight is not the plot.
- MG and YA horror.

The Babysitters Club is making me crave cute contemporary MG. Anyone have a MS or GN about friendships or first crushes? #mswl

I'd love to see a MG or YA non-fic graphic novel. Especially something from an author from an underrepresented community. #mswl #illustrator's if you are interested, please reach out!
Literary Agent
I'm going to bug the #WritingCommunity and #romancelandia again. I'm desperately seeking to represent an author who writes happy, funny, heartfelt books in MG, YA, or Adult. #mswl.
Literary Agent
I love books, movies, and shows with small towns where everyone knows each other. Stories with lots of emotion. (I'm watching My Girl right now and might watch Steel Magnolias next). Would love some YA, MG, or Upmarket adult stories set in small towns. #mswl
Literary Agent
I'd also love more spooky/horror MG. Give me fantastic monsters, nature-based villains (like a forest or swamp), and something weird and twisty. I'll take it in YA too. #mswl
Literary Agent
I just finished Rick Riordan's recent Apollo book, and I would love an upper MG or YA or Adult book about Artemis/Diana. If YA or A, I would love this in the vein of Madeline Miller's Circe. MG would be in the vein of a RR Presents novel! #mswl
