Books change lives. Let’s do this! querymanager.com/query/KGRIMM

I’m looking for a similar sense of purpose for MG and YA with a focus on fantasy. But ultimately open to anything that breaks boundaries (in form, topic, etc.) for kids.

Looking for literary to upmarket fiction and narrative non-fiction that’s ambitious and sticky and can momentarily distract from the world’s horrors but ultimately deepens our relationship with ourselves and fortifies us to engage with and fight for humanity.

In the midst of our slide into fascism and imminent environmental collapse, it seems like a great time to reopen to queries over on Query Manager #amquerying #MSWL

My hangover from SIRENS & MUSES is so strong I need to reopen to submissions (I mean, I was already going to this month, but damn, campus AND NYC novel AND messy friends/lovers/obsessions? Forever #mswl)

Looking for new reads in this ballpark, any recs? Also forever #mswl

Particularly looking for MG right now. Recent favorites: FROM THE DESK OF ZOE WASHINGTON (so many happy/sad tears) and SO DONE (love alternating POV). All-time favorites: FRONT DESK, THE LINE TENDER, THE WAR THAT SAVED MY LIFE and THE STARS BENEATH OUR FEET. #mswl

Who knew today's weeping moment would be triggered by my deep love of the USPS and the kindness of 11-year-olds?

Oh right, everyone. Everyone knew. Forever #mswl 💕💕

#mswl this entire @PublishersWkly article highlighting mental health, #metoo and graphic memoirs in MG:

👏👏👏 Love this. Feel this. #mswl this. Thank you @VickyCBooks

I also want a YA fantasy that has deep world-building & plays with structure. Let me comp to the THE FIFTH SEASON w/ a straight face! #mswl

I always want heartbreaking...and then heartswelling MG! WISH & THE WAR THAT SAVED MY LIFE are two recent favs that did just that #mswl

My Trump anxiety is manifesting itself in reading faster and more than ever before. #WriteYourResistance and send me your #ownvoices #mswl

Want any genre of #YA that has friendships just starting or falling apart for twisty, real, heartbreaking reasons #mswl

Contemporary #MG about a latchkey kid set in NYC/major city about the adventure & struggles that come with it taking care of yourself #mswl

Still looking for YA or Adult Lit about young people in Communist Russia (or Germany). From "Good Bye Lenin!" to super serious. Recs? #mswl?

Still waiting for an octopus POV manuscript and only sort of kidding #mswl #cephalopodintelligence

I finally updated my #mswl profile, yay for new website! manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/kati…

I'm back from my day at middle school to report that these kids are OBSESSED with scary books. Let's give them what they want! #mswl

Still looking for YA or women's lit about the "pathological platonic intimacy that can happen between women" nymag.com/thecut/2015/12… #mswl
