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. :)

the discussion about the lack of upper MG & lower YA has me thinking about how little I see experiences like my middle school days in fiction...when I was13-14 most ppl were not sexually active but ppl were absolutely making sex jokes and I feel like MG mostly sanitizes that

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
