#MSWL - realistic middle grade; bonus points for bittersweet stories! petejknapp.com/post/155643281… #amquerying

#MSWL -- scary middle grade! I'm particularly eager to add more MG to my list this year & love a good, spooky tale. petejknapp.com/post/155642618…

#MSWL - middle grade with big worlds that readers will want to escape into.

#mswl - smart, fun escapist (or attempt-to-escape-ist—ha!) MG like these!

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!

Writers! I am loving all of the YA subs in my inbox, but I'd love to find more middle grade right now, too. It's high on my wish list! #mswl

#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

Also, #mswl - YA & MG novels about characters who also feel they've "always been a storm."

#mswl -- MG mysteries with heart, where setting is a character, like THREE TIMES LUCKY, THE LONDON EYE MYSTERY, WHEN YOU REACH ME.

I loved FISH IN A TREE from start to finish. It represents the kind of heartfelt, dynamic, cry-laugh-cheer MG I love & look for. #MSWL

#mswl - a MG like THE FOURTEENTH GOLDFISH. Smart, great concept and emotional core, and real kid appeal. #askagent

Querying MG or YA & want agent feedback? I'm offering it for queries sent before Tuesday! Details: petejknapp.com/post/148836108… #mswl #tenqueries

#mswl -- MG, YA and adult fiction with a rich sense of place -- its history & traditions & how these tie into characters' identities.

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

I'm eager to find literary MG and YA -- beautifully written stories that pull no punches. #mswl #askagent #querymeplease

#MSWL - I'd love to find a literary historical novel, MG, YA or adult. A great YA romance or adult sibling story with a historical backdrop.

A writer at a conference this w/end asked what I wanted to see in MG; honestly, it's heart. Regardless of genre, heart wins me over. #mswl
