YA about moving on from high school! Anything about college admissions, the summer after senior year, freshman year of college (or of life) #mswlI’d also love books with teens who elect not to go to college at all #mswl

when i updated my website, i also updated my wishlist! please bookmark this for the new year, when i finally, at long last, reopen to queries! #mswl #amquerying #querytipbethphelan.com/submission-wis…
i will add that top of my #MSWL is: laughing. i don't mean chuckling. i mean i want to LOL. more so with voice than silliness but i'd love to see more of it in general in my submissions. :)

Catching up on subs and i notice i have excellent YA here, but not much MG! #mswl WHEN I REOPEN: I really want to work on more MG! Commercial or literary—give me your big series hooks, magic, light and fun contemporary, hopeful stories touching on tough topics, queer characters!!

if anyone has a MG or YA with a PROTAGONIST who has ADHD, i'd love to see it. in particular, a type that isn't the more commonly associated hyperactive but features the inattentiveness, procrastination, disorganized thoughts, etc. would be open to realistic or fantasy #MSWL

technically closed to queries but aching for more submissions from Native / Indigenous authors, MG or YA, of course. send my way with “Native voice” in the subject line 💚💚 #mswl #amquerying

authors! it's okay if your book doesn't match a #mswl exactly! you don't need to revise the book to fit, or write the book to meet it, or mention the mswl at all. you can just query and let it stand on its own! just because we tweet a mswl, doesn't mean that that is ALL we want.

i want more diverse mg fantasy with secondary animal characters that steal my heart #mswl

Still waiting on an Afro-Honduran Or a Garifuna protagonist in #kidlit or even freaking adult lit. I have yet to see myself in MG or YA book. I enjoy stories that feature other Afro-Latinx cultures. But, I’m am really waiting on the day an Afro-Honduran or Garifuna writes kidlit twitter.com/lindasuepark/s…#mswl bring me this pls

Have you ever accepted a query of an MS that wasn't in your wishlist or do you always preferred MS within your Wishlist only? #askLitAOCyes, the #MSWL to me is more about those random, specific things i want. it doesn't mean that's the ONLY stuff i want! i think other agents are the same. #askLitAOC
