It’s 2022! A reminder that I’m open to queries and looking for all sorts of MG and YA, contemporary and fantasy. I have high hopes of finding some great new clients this year. And I finally updated my page here: manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/beth… #mswl

Hungry for submissions! Also really looking to be swept off my feet with a great voicey fantasy (non-royal, preferably). #mswl twitter.com/beth_phelan/st…ALSO a recent conversation just sparked this #mswl: queer joy in middle grade. :)

I’ve been getting thru my requested submissions and looking for more!#mswl:
YA grounded thrillers, high concept contemporary with a speculative twist
MG non-portal fantasy, speculative twists, intergenerational stories
Everything with and by marginalized people please!
