I would love to add a craft book to my list. #MSWL

Super fun Contemporary YA. You know all your favourite swoon-worthy fanfic stories? I want YA fiction that reads like that. #MSWL

Inventive chapter books! Something unusual with series potential. #MSWL

I really, really want illustrated nonfiction. Ex: WHAT WE SEE IN THE STARS, LITERARY WITCHES. Or maybe something prescriptive and workbook-ish like THE CURATED CLOSET. #MSWL

I love #MSWL day! I’m going to throw some new wish list items out into the universe today (and probably repeat some older ones I’m still hoping to find), but you can always find even more + extra submissions information on my website. mariavicente.com/representation/

This is exactly what I’m looking for in YA manuscripts right now. #MSWL 💖🌈✨📝

I recently updated the representation info on my website. Let’s work together! 📝 #MSWL mariavicente.com/representation/

To be more specific when it comes to books, my Young Adult vampire-themed #MSWL would look something like this: new twists on classic tropes; more interested in a badass character than "vamp with a soul"; the Pink Ladies or T-Birds... but vampires!

#MSWL x1000 🍦

I so badly want these “fluffy” YA books by POC and LGBTQ+ writers. As much as I love angst and think “issue books” are super important, I also love ridiculously fun stories that make readers feel good about life (including their identities). #MSWL

Thrilled to be on this @Mdnight_Society list of agents looking for YA Horror! #MSWL midnightsocietytales.com/2018/02/26/ya-…

Tweeting this into the universe: #MSWL 🖤⛸

Query letter pitches this month have been SPECTACULAR. I have so many stories waiting in my inbox to be read.

Keep sending those 💯 submissions my way, please! #MSWL mariavicente.com/representation

Random things I would love to see more of in submissions: witchcraft; boy bands; crows/ravens; unusual structure/format; nature; female friendship; LGBTQ+ characters; WOC characters; Wes Anderson-inspired stories. #MSWL

And I'm always looking for illustrated picture books by professional illustrators! Definitely send a link to your art portfolio when querying. #MSWL

Topics on my picture book wish list: the Wheel of the Year; cultural traditions/history; tales of mythology and lore; nature-based nonfiction; and ghosts. #MSWL

I'd also love a realistic Middle Grade with a protagonist who has an immigrant parent (or parents). Growing up, I would have really appreciated reading this element in a book. #MSWL

I want to see your Middle Grade novels based on myths and traditions from various cultures. #MSWL

Still looking for a bunch of YA things: a story about female best friends; a macabre fairy tale retelling; a great mystery; a cute gay or lesbian love story. #MSWL

I also love illustrated nonfiction! Any category, really. Have a fun/creative/cool/smart idea? Send me a proposal! #MSWL
