I want to see a lot more middle grade in my inbox! Specific things: horror, historical with a magical twist, and environmental themes. #MSWL

Historical #MG with a magical twist (ex: The Boundless). #MSWL #HF

Literary fiction that reinvents historical events, people, or places (ex: Studio Saint-Ex, Kavalier & Clay, Painted Girls). #MSWL #LF #HF

Friendly reminder that my Winter #MSWL is posted on my website: mariavicente.com/post/136741573…

In Middle Grade: quirky realistic, light sci-fi or fantasy, historical with a magical twist, and a modern Sweet Valley Twins. #mswl
