quick #mswl update, I am primarily looking for MG (all genres), YA Contemporary, Historical (all ages), and Graphic Novel (all ages/genres). Those are my heaviest focus. BUT, also open to others, so check out my MSWL page!

I am NOT looking for nonfiction, mystery/suspense/thriller, poetry, novellas, or short stories compilations. Not very interested in sci fi, unless in GN

I also do not want on-page rape, plots heavy in focus on abuse (drug, sexual, physical, etc.) or religion.

For horror (MG and Adult only), think psychological or creature, not gore. I don't like shock for shock sake, and I want characters I can care about. If they die, make me FEEL it

I am really dying to find historical fantasy or with spec fic touches. There are SO many locations outside of US/UK that I need to see in historical.

This goes for paranormal, too. Give me more cultural creatures (think the series Trese) #amagenting #mswl

Adult

GN - all genres but especially horror, dark fantasy, or LGBTQ+

Novels - romance, contemporary, historical, and MAYBE fantasy. Super picky there. Really want horror like Babadook or Midnight Mass or Haunting of Hill House

YA Novels

contemporary, romcom, fantasy, historical

If fantasy, you've GOT to bring your A-game. Very picky here for my list in fantasy, but definitely open to so many more contemporary and historical stories!

YA GN

again, I am dying for more LGBTQ+ and historical; would love contemporary, fantasy, and horror here, too

Think outside the box. For YA, it needs to be something that totally immerses me in the characters or the world or the emotions

MG Novels

contemporary, fantasy, and historical

am open to novel in verse but must be very high concept

Kaitlyn Johnson - Closed to Queries @RedPenKaitlyn

Hey all! I am planning to re-open to queries on OCTOBER 20! In honor of that, here is a #MSWL thread of what I'll be looking for: pic.twitter.com/tXMSZskZ3L

MG Graphic Novels

I want ALL THE MG GN! Looking for slice of life, LGBTQ+ characters and first crushes, kids who can lean on each other and don't run to parents to solve problems.

All genres welcome here #amagenting #mswl

Please don't forget those lovely poly romances! I'd love to see more in my box similar to @ZREllor's upcoming SILK FIRE or @MegLaTorre's The Cyborg Tinkerer! #MSWL
