Only a few days left till I close for queries. I'd love to see more MG and Adult submissions before I do!! #mswl #dvpit

THIS IS SO INTERESTING. #mswl

Middle Grade heists! #mswl

I'd love to find a MG featuring a boy who has interests stereotypically associated with girls. Dancing, cooking, singing, etc. #mswl

Male POV for #mg & #ya, especially in contemporary stories! #mswl

A few uber specific #mswl requests:

-middle grade set in CA
-MG/YA featuring Jewish characters (whether they are religious is up to you)
-a book about NASA space camp
-characters with weird jobs or hobbies
-realistic, sex-positive YA
-international thriller with a female MC

#MSWL I’d like to see a MG or YA featuring a family that reminds me of the Weasleys ❤️

When I open to queries again in September, I hope to continue receiving YA Fantasy (because I love it) but I also hope I see more

☻ Middle Grade Fantasy
☻ YA Contemporary
☻ Adult SFF
☻ Adult Psych Thrillers

#mswl

I'd also love to see more MG Contemporary that showcases friendships, in particular m/f in which a crush isn't part of the plot. #mswl

I would love to see more Middle Grade in general, but I am particularly excited about contemporary fantasy (fantasy set in our world) and stories inspired by non-western cultures. #mswl

#MSWL: MG about a girl drummer!!

“Hit Like A Girl Contest 2018 Good Times Bad Times, LED ZEPPELIN, by Yoyoka Soma, 8-year old Japanese drummer Watch to the end! https://t.co/sNCfN3m9gV” mobile.twitter.com/scottderrickso…

I would love to see more MG submissions in my inbox. Realistic, historical, magical, scientific, adventurous--whatever you've got, I want to see it! #mswl

I can already tell this movie is going to be my new #MG #MSWL. (Also, ignore the gif of Bo--watch the trailer. It's about an 8th grade girl and it looks great)

I would love to see more SFF MG and contemporary YA in my inbox. #MSWL

I'd like a non-white, dark fairy tale for MG or YA. #mswl

I'd like a MG Fantasy that features lesser-known creatures of myth and legend (be that because they don't figure as prominently in mythology, or because they are from traditions ignored by the European-centric literary canon). #mswl

Saturday Evening Thoughts

I would really love to find an exciting, middle grade adventure/ fantasy set somewhere other than the US or Europe.

Great example: THE SERPENT'S SECRET by @Sayantani16

#MSWL

Where is my space camp MG?! 🚀 #MSWL

Okay, I need a MG about a dog show. Let's do this. #MSWL

I would love to find a fun, queer, #ownvoices MG that makes me as happy and hopeful as STAR-CROSSED by Barbara Dee. #MSWL goodreads.com/book/show/2724…
