I’d love to see your contemporary #MG story that the world needs to read. If it has a big hook and an urgent voice (like these two books I’ve had the honor of selling) all the better #MSWL

Finally saw Midsommar last weekend. Still thinking about this scene.

What I loved about it is that the horror is always out in the open. There's no dark. You can't turn away. And what's scariest sometimes is what you can see and not ignore.

I’m wishing for creepy #MG, serious literary #YA, and graphic novels especially by marginalized author/illustrators! #MSWL

What a week. Gods of #MSWL: send me YA & MG that burns down white supremacy, misogyny, homophobia. Books to beat back the racists. Send me what terrifies them the most: your heart & humanity. More empathy today. Less intolerance tomorrow.

Please send me #MG that you’re afraid pushes the envelope, concerning topics some might think “aren’t suitable”...yet that’s exactly why you had to write it. Send me your truth. #MSWL

#Querying? Send me your contemporary #MG, especially if it plays with structure like Jack Cheng's See You in the Cosmos. Send me your historical fantasy #YA, especially if it has a multicultural cast like Heidi Heilig's The Girl From Everywhere. #MSWL

I'm also looking for the weird, surreal, hilarious literary #YA that blends genres and punches guts. #OwnVoices are 🔑. #MSWL
Replying to @abuckslater

Do you read a lot of Junot Díaz? Jesmyn Ward? If writers like them are your heroes, we will get along. Send me their progeny. #MSWL #YA #MG

While these excellent #PitMad pitches are scrolling by, thought I'd re-up the old #MSWL...
Replying to @abuckslater

Please send me #YA & #MG stories about the immigrant experience. Can be set either in this world or another, but make it authetic. #MSWL
