For queriers: I've just updated my #mswl profile with more detail than ever before! (Seriously, SO much detail.) Look over here: manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/patr…

It's January 15 & that means I'm now open to queries again -- and hungry to find some new talent for the new year! Send me your lyrical MG fantasy, your heartfelt MG contemp, your weird and/or witchy YA, your adult or YA romcoms, and anything else amazing. #mswl

Heartfelt, diverse middle grade. ALL OF IT. #mswl

The weirdest YA or MG you have -- I love beautiful, literary writing paired with the strange, the eeire, the offbeat, the surprising. #mswl

LGBTQ YA/MG/adult fiction with a strong hook & a compelling, page-turning plot (like my client @Kelly_J_Ford's COTTONMOUTHS!) #mswl

YA/MG/WF that has something true to say about friendship -- either friend break-ups OR true ride-or-die friends a la Emery Lord's bks. #mswl

Unapologetically feminist YA/MG w/ protagonists that care abt social justice & strive to make a difference in their communities/world. #mswl

Still looking for the perfect magical realist MG to add to my list -- heartfelt and cozy, w/ magic woven into the real world. #mswl

Diverse #ownvoices MG that makes me laugh or cry #mswl

Not only #tbr... but also #mswl! Still searching for the MG girl computer whiz book of my dreams (& girl-driven STEM-focused MG in general)

#mswl I will forever want magical realism in MG, YA & women's fiction. Bonus if the magic is strongly rooted in a specific culture or place.

If someone writes this book, SEND IT TO ME. (And FYI, I'd love to see more Muslim chars in MG/YA in general!) #mswl twitter.com/gildedspine/st…

& all of my perpetual #mswl items still stand: interesting female friendships, diverse chars, #ownvoices, girls who code, etc #WF #R #YA #MG

Still on the hunt for the perfect heartfelt magical realist MG. (Here's a good def of magical realism: michellewittebooks.com/2015/07/what-i…) #mswl #MG

Reminder that while I'm def looking to add more MG to my list (#mswl!), I don't rep chapter books. Here's the diff: emmawaltonhamilton.com/is-it-a-chapte…

#MSWL, ya'll. Send me your LGBTQ middle grade! twitter.com/NaughtyBrent/s…
