Cozy fantasy in MG #MSWL

Mermaids.

Predators of the deep. Soft mermaids who never go in the water.

Give me mermaids, please! #MSWL #YA #MG

Also, I really was not a fan of being first gen as a kid. I kind of push backed on German culture because I wanted to fit in with my peers. MY BIG FAT GREEK WEDDING but MG and #ownvoices for your culture. Because sometimes it is hard being caught between two worlds. #MSWL

And also a friendship break book that also happens to be set in the 90s, and their friendship might be ending because the Spice Girls broke up. But you know... #MSWL #MG

As any good fantasy nerd, I love fantasy. In MG and YA, but I am picky nowadays. So it has to feel different. But give me high concept stories. Give me beautiful writing. Give me morally complex characters. #MSWL

Alrighty, that's all the graphics I have made right now. Remember, these can be MG or YA or in graphic novel form, and marginalized voices are welcome to run with these ideas as well. I actually think some of these might be better explored through those lens!

This next one is a #IYKYK type #MSWL : I love that British narration style--almost Neil Gaiman-esque feel--that features quirky shops. Id' love to see an MG or YA with elements like this.

Please know any of these can be GN or YA, and some could be MG. #MSWL

#MSWL for middle grade

Bob's Burgers would make a great comp for a graphic novel, just saying #MSWL twitter.com/SoCalledYALife…

Also I am obsessed with cartoons right now so naturally we are #MSWL from that world in comps: twitter.com/SoCalledYALife…

I am really intrigued by the series EXPLAINED on Netflix. Watching the Tattoo episode now and I think this series would make a inspire MG GN NF book series. #MSWL

#MSWL for a graphic novel or MG in the vein of OWL HOUSE. Love this show.

#MSWL #MG For a BOB'S BURGER comp.

OMG how could I forget the thing I am known for??

Mermaids.

In middle grade, I tend to be picky on the voice, but give me entrepreneurial kids. Running a slime ring out of the bathroom? Yeah, I want that. Kid focused business.
