I watched S1 of DARE ME on the weekend and now I'm desperate for some "bad girl" YA manuscripts. #MSWL

My love for music documentaries has grown during the pandemicโthe creative process, how certain musicians/albums/singles react to and influence history and culture.
All this to say, if youโre writing a book proposal for music-related nonfiction, Iโd like to see it! #MSWL

Literary Agent
And Iโm actively looking for graphic nonfiction and graphic memoir submissions. For any market: kids, teens, adults. #MSWL

Iโd love to see more graphic novel submissions with limited colour palettes in my inbox. #MSWL

Throwing a new #MSWL into the universe: a YA historical fiction about disco subculture! ๐บ๐ฟIโm particularly interested in a story that explores:
๐discoโs beginnings in Black and queer communities
๐ the commercialization and appropriation of the genre as it gained popularity
๐ the (racist and homophobic foundation of the) anti-disco movement
#MSWL

Literary Agent
I will not be content until I have a contemporary series like this on my own middle grade list! Desperately seeking the real-life drama of frenemies, first crushes, and exploring self-identity/expression for 10-year-olds.
