High-stakes middle grade fantasy and adventure like SKANDAR AND THE UNICORN THIEF; THE SWIFTS; SMALL SPACES; and THE MARVELLERS.

Young adult fantasy and romantasy like DIVINE RIVALS; LEGENDBORN; A STUDY IN DROWNING; and A MAGIC STEEPED IN POISON. #MSWL

High concept, commercial adult SFF like BLACK WATER SISTER; EMILY WILDE’S ENCYCLOPEDIA OF FAERIES; THE FINAL STRIFE; FOURTH WING; and LAST TALE OF THE FLOWER BRIDE. #MSWL

Of course, one of our favorite things it to be surprised. So if you've written a middle grade or young adult novel you're excited about, or an adult fantasy or horror, we'd love to hear from you! #MSWL

We're also looking to grow our commercial adult fantasy list in stories with a genre hook, especially expansive fantasy and psychological horror. Thing JADE CITY, CITY OF BRASS, THE ATLAS SIX, MEXICAN GOTHIC, THE ONLY GOOD INDIANS. #MSWL

We're always on the hunt for standout YA fantasy and paranormal/supernatural. Think THESE VIOLENT DELIGHTS, LEGENDBORN, THE GILDED ONES, CEMETERY BOYS, HOUSE OF HOLLOW, etc. #MSWL

We also love high-concept, high-stakes middle grade fantasy like AMARI & THE NIGHT BROTHERS, ARU SHAH, NEVERMOOR, and TRISTAN STRONG. #MSWL

Of course I rep a lot of amazing YA fantasy authors and always love YA fantasy, and am especially excited to find fantasy that totally upends my expectations, contemporary fantasy, and contained fantasy (a la a fantasy set on a cruise kind of thing). #MSWL

Hello, everyone: I did a #mswl tweet at the start of this year, and it's all still true. I'm particularly excited to find YA thrillers and mysteries, and middle grade anything: series, contemporary, fantasy, etc.

#MSWL - YA or MG paranormal: vampires, werewolves, oh my! Particularly interested in paranormal from underrepresented points of view and stories that bring something new to the genre. Related: contemp fantasy a la LEGENDBORN, a 2020 fav, too.

Hello! Just a #MSWL reminder as we look ahead to next year: I'm hungry for MG and YA across all categories, and particularly excited to find MG series/SFF/adventure and YA paranormal, contemporary, and thrillers/mysteries...and anything fun & soapy or spine-tingling & spooky!

I’d love some love stories across genres: rom-coms, sweeping love stories, romantic fantasies, paranormal romance, etc. #mswl

#MSWL - Anything that feels high concept and cinematic in YA, whether it’s sci-fi, fantasy, or contemporary with a speculative twist. Stories with big “what if” premises.

#MSWL - middle grade or YA graphic novel series, whether contemporary, contemporary with a twist of magic, or fantasy. Especially would love to find a great contemporary series with a great concept.

#MSWL - MIDDLE GRADE. Any and all middle grade! I am hungry for it: standalone contemporary, sweeping fantasy series, sci-fi, horror, you name it. I’d love something high concept, like CITY OF EMBER, NEVERMOOR, ARU SHAH & THE END OF TIME, etc.

Closing out the day & week with a #mswl: I love middle grade adventure series (whether paranormal, sci-fi, or fantasy) with lots of heart & humor. If that's what you're querying, I'd love to see your project!

I'd also love a serious MG fantasy series...something dark, dangerous, and with a large canvas and great world-building. #mswl

SAME. I would love to find big, ambitious YA and MG -- whether contemporary, fantasy, historical, you name it! #MSWL

I'm eager to find more middle grade, from contemporary standalones & illustrated MG to sweeping adventure & fantasy series. I'd love more YA contemp & grounded YA fantasy or "twist of magic" stories, too. And YA paranormal (I'm here for your vampires & werewolves) #mswl

Still high on my #MSWL is (you guessed it!) middle grade. I'd especially love a really sweeping, high-stakes & action-packed fantasy/contemporary fantasy, and/or something with cozy-magic. And I'm always on the hunt for MG contemporary!
