Late to the party, but I finished the absolutely brilliant Heartstopper🧡👏, and like Skins, SKAM, and Sex Education, I’m desperate for more complicated/positive depictions of friendships, gender, sexuality & coming of age #MSWL *open till August, hit me up before end of month!

Disability representation/stories are crucial and a big priority on my #mswl, so I’ll be browsing #PitchDis tomorrow. If I like your tweet, send 30 pages and a query to my submission email on the Stimola website. If I miss your pitch, but you think we’d be a good fit, try me! ✍️

Because I can’t think of anything else right now, DM me if you are a BIPOC or disabled writer and have a YA or MG novel that in anyway demonstrates the importance of abortion rights as essential health care. #mswl

Can anyone bottle ‘Better Things’ vibes in a YA novel? #mswl for when I open in May

Definitely on my #mswl as well.

In an author call today I found myself saying “girls need strong representations of female villains, too.” Smart, cunning, complex girl (or non-binary) villains, anyone? #mswl (when I’m open again next month).

Can someone please write a magical book about a girl with ADHD who is also a witch and call it FOCUS POCUS? #mswl

Happy New Year! I've updated my #mswl and am open to submissions this month. I'd love to find a compulsively readable page-turner in 2021, anchored in hope. manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/alli…

I'm mesmerized by this. And it feels like there is a good book concept/retelling hidden in one of these renderings. Authors, go! #MSWL

Just finished season 1 of #Hanna and want a YA speculative submission that resonates and entertains like youtu.be/KaCXtBUgLgg k, thanks #mswl

#MSWL please keep these great submissions coming from Black children’s book writers! I’m also interested in author-illustrators with existing picture book dummies. #BlackVoices find me through the Stimola website through the submission form. 🖤

Indulging in #Dickinson  and now dying to find a YA novel that strikes that balance/tone of absurdity/sexiness/intelligence heart 🎭💞 #mswl #yanovel #amagenting - open again to queries on 1/6/2020

Speaking of #PitDark and #MSWL, does anyone have a thriller as nuanced and developed as the Swedish book/film LET THE RIGHT ONE IN? What that book did for (spoiler alert) vampires I'd like to see your book do for...surprise me.

I’d like to find the voice of a modern middle grade Punky Brewster please #MSWL

#MSWL send me your timeless books for middle grade readers that will encourage kids to get off their screens, appreciate the natural world and have real social interactions. (Although a great text message exchange in a book is also fun if it feels real!)

#MSWL I'm looking for strong YA/adult crossover titles with voice, sense of place, and a unique POV. Keep momentum going. Also, please something with a unique format or story structure that will be appeal to reluctant readers.

It’s official, I’m joining @StimolaLiterary! Thanks for the announcement @PublishersWkly #childrensbookshelf #childrensagent I’m so excited!
