Today’s back to school vibes means it feels like a good time to update my #MSWL! Here’s what I’m looking for in my submissions at the moment:

In YA, I’d love a high-concept romance - think They Both Die at the End or a YA One Day.

I’m still angry about this. There are only nine illustrations in this book and one of them is of these goblins. There must have been so many eyes on this image and it’s shocking no one scrutinised it. twitter.com/langtonbecca/s…

I want to counteract this - I would LOVE to find a great contemporary Jewish story for MG or YA. Anything that isn't historical! I want Jewish rom-com or a Jewish fantasy and just Jewish joy in whatever forms #MSWL

A YA fantasy with original, compelling worldbuilding – think RF Kuang, Tomi Adeyemi or Ciannon Smart. I want magic and danger and hearts-in-mouths, but above all I want it to feel new #MSWL

Opening up our @DA_Childrens submissions for 2019! If you're working on an #ownvoices #MG adventure with an unusual mythology, a diverse #YA that's as funny as Louise Rennison, some ground-breaking children's #nonfiction #PB or ANYTHING ELSE #kidlit send it my way #MSWL
