Can’t stop thinking about how beautiful and magical Iceland was so if anyone has a #MG or #YA that takes place in the land of fire and ice, please send it my way! 🌈 #MSWL

“When you don't have anything other than your voice, you have to use it,” Haven Coleman, a 12-year-old striker in Denver, Colorado. “We have to fight for our future because adults aren't doing anything.”

These kids are incredible. I'd love to find a story with this voice. #MSWL

I follow so many incredible bakers on Instagram because I'm obsessed w/ fancy, colorful, and quirky cakes, and it's making me crave a contemporary #YA or #MG featuring a mc who has a passion for baking. Bonus points if it includes a fluffy romance or baking competition! 🎂 #MSWL

Forever and always looking for stories that have nerdy, science-driven characters, especially if it is written by a scientist! #PB #MG #YA #scicomm #MSWL

Eager to find a smart and unique fiction or nonfiction #PB or #graphicnovel that discusses the importance of taking care of the environment and our oceans. #MSWL

Specifically, I’d love a contemporary #YA set in Prague (modern day or historical). Bonus points if it includes a love story as beautiful as the astronomical clock tower. #MSWL

I’m always looking for #YA contemporary romcoms written by diverse authors that feature POC and LGBTQ+ characters. The lighter and fluffier, the better! #MSWL

I’m seeking #MG and #YA that explores the mythology and folklore of cultures from around the world by #ownvoices writers. Would love to see this in a graphic novel! #MSWL

I’m mainly looking for fun #MG books with magic, heart, spunk, and adventure! Think Gravity Falls or SEE YOU IN THE COSMOS. #MSWL

#MSWL!

I played What Remains of Edith Finch weeks ago but can't stop thinking about it. If you have a story that's similar in any shape or form, please send it to me! #MSWL

I would also love to find more #MG with characters like Miss Frizzle or kooky and nature-loving families like The Wild Thornberrys! #MSWL

I’d love to find more #kidlit stories written by or about #scientists in some way! I want to hear about #STEM leaders who have paved paths (Annie Jump Cannon! Mary Anning! Lise Meitner!) #MSWL

3D printer + magic + adventure = my #MG #MSWL.

Super specific #MSWL: I'd love to find a fun, high-stakes contemporary #MG or #YA that takes place before or during a hackathon! Less specific: If you have a #kidlit story with witty & tech-savvy characters, please query me. 🤓

I just finished the first episode of On My Block and I’m in love. If you have a #YA similar to it, please send it my way! #MSWL

Like many astronauts, Kalpana Chawla was one of my idols growing up. I would love to find a #kidlit story about her in some way or form. #MSWL #PB #MG

With the #Olympics on my mind, I'd love to find a #PB, #MG, or #YA book about #figureskating. I don’t want the stereotypical "mean girl" skater. Show me the skater who stays after hours, who has a million bruises from trying to nail a jump, who uses the ice as a canvas. #MSWL

Craving a #MG series like #themagictreehouse/#timewarptrio. Smart, witty, & #diverse characters are a must. #MSWL
