📚 YA: You'll steal my heart with unique magic systems. Creepy carnivals. Creepy abandoned buildings. New twists on the familiar.

And yes, I'll selectively be looking at queer rom-coms still (because reasons)!

📚 MG: Three things I'll probably always be looking for:
1. Adventure novel with a humorous voice
2. creepy and lyrical horror a la coraline.
3. queer first crush (if it makes you think of the short 'in a heartbeat' I want to see it.)

My turn on the @bookendslit #MSWL train! When I reopen to queries I want all the kidlit: graphic novels and all your LGBT narratives from PB through YA! Swoon worthy rom coms and heartbreaking stories all welcome.

#MSWL - #YA: Either set in the 1950s or the 1970s/1980s: a historical YA that deals with being queer in a time period where it wasn't safe to be out of the closet. Deal with the tough subjects and please break me before I get to the end.

Hey Authors in the Query-Trenches! You know what I want to see more of in my inbox? LGBT rom-coms set in boarding schools. And... go. #MSWL

It's only been forever and a day but I finally updated my #MSWL profile! Now including select genres of narrative non-fiction — and basically send me all your queer fiction or creepy, lyrical middle grade books! manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/moe-…

These are the books I love across MG (especially!) and also YA. #MSWL

This is hard—I'm still figuring out what really trips my trigger. #AntiMSWL, no rhyming books. On the #MSWL side: I love message-centric that don't come across as preachy. Laugh-out-loud funny is always a want. I'd kill for my own JACK (NOT JACKIE) or something with LGBT-themes!

Me personally, I'm always looking for MG contemporary and fantasy genres. I'd really love to find my creepy coraline-esque book as well as a first crush LGBT book (a la the animated short 'In a Heartbeat') #AskAgent #MSWL

Which the reminder to send me all the LGBT+ books for MG and YA once I reopen for queries in September! #MSWL

Honestly if you have a YA LGBT contemporary book and you can comp it to RuPaul's Drag Race, I'm wondering why it's not already in my inbox. #MSWL

I have tons of client work today, so I'm going to be ducking in and out of #DVpit. If I <3 it, send me the first 50 pages: QueryMe.online/1005/Twitter

Am always looking for diverse voices, so if I don't fave, still query me!! (and if you have an LGBT book in the 80s SEND ME! #MSWL)

A nice m/m romance set during the height of the AIDS epidemic that DOESN"T make me ugly cry. Looking at you, Falsettos / Normal Heart. #MSWL

Always on my list for erotic romance! Even standard fairy tales, too. (M/M Beauty and the Beast or Rumpelstiltskin come to mind...) #MSWL

Need them now more than ever. Bonus points for LGBT+ rights and/or protagonists. #MSWL

*watches Avengers*
*aggressively ships Science Bros*

Actually…where is my m/m erotic romance with snarky scientists and lab hijinks? #MSWL

YA want: Give me your #RiseUp books. Contemporary or fantasy setting. Let me see that not everything is awful. Bonus points for LGBT+ #MSWL

MG want - I really, really, really want a LGBT "I have my first crush on a boy and I don't know what to do" book in my inbox. #MSWL
