Heartfelt &/or humorous middle grade that is rich & textured in its characterizations, stylistic choices, language, & telling. Give me subplots & side characters & settings that all work to make a story feel sophisticated & fully-realized & ALIVE. #MSWL #MG

My YA inbox is so dark & angsty! Would love to see YA HUMOR. Specifically: voice-driven, smart, witty humor, not snarky or belittling. #MSWL
