I'd also like a MG realistic/contemporary series. Something like Jason Reynold's TRACK series. I'd also be super excited to find brilliant literary standalone in MG. Something like WHEN YOU REACH ME or THE THING ABOUT LUCK. #mswl

#mswl for 2019 definitely includes more contemporary middle grade standalones!

...but also anti-love stories, break-up stories, friendship break-up stories. Give me all the explorations of relationships of all types, please! #mswl

Super high on my 2019 #MSWL

#mswl 2019: A middle grade contemporary series as smart and pitch perfect as Jason Reynold’s Track Team series (6/13)

#mswl 2019: Sweet, smart YA contemporary love stories: think TO ALL THE BOYS I’VE LOVED BEFORE, WHAT IF IT’S US, SIMON VS., EVERYTHING LEADS TO YOU, etc. (3/13)

#mswl 2019: Smart, hold-no-punches YA contemporary. One of my favorite titles of 2018 was SADIE by Courtney Summers so if you’ve written something like that, yes please! Other favorite recent contemporary YA: Nina LaCour’s WE ARE OKAY, Angie Thomas’s THE HATE U GIVE. (2/13)

#MSWL - YA contemporary that is realistic—and not. petejknapp.com/post/155723172…

#MSWL - #ownvoices YA & MG-- both realistic & contemporary, but also eager to find more #ownvoices fantasy & speculative fiction.

As always, MG is on my #mswl these days & all days. Everything from standalone contemporary and magical realism to big fantasy series.

#mswl - In terms of MG, I'd especially love to find contemporary & historical, magical realism, & stories that feel very classic & timeless!

#mswl - strange and magical MG & YA. Contemporary or historical where the magical feeling comes from how the protagonist sees the world.

Things I'd be particularly excited to find in #DVPit today: #ownvoices stories; MG mysteries; MG contemp; YA suspense; (1/?) #mswl

#mswl - heartfelt MG mysteries -- contemp realistic, historical, supernatural/ghostly mysteries, anything -- with great pacing & characters.

#mswl -- also always looking for contemporary YA with a speculative twist. petejknapp.com/post/124317810…
