#tenqueries takeaway: I like quiet middle grade novels. One of my favorite MG's is THE THING ABOUT LUCK by Cynthia Kadohata, which is definitely on the quieter side plot-wise, but emotionally it is LOUD and so resonate and perfect. Defining your emotional hook is KEY.#tenqueries takeaway: I want MIDDLE GRADE! Across all genres. Please keep sending it my way!! #MSWL

Very high on my #MSWL for 2018: queer fiction. Are you writing a book in the vein of WE ARE OKAY by Nina LaCour? Might you compare your work to that of Adam Silvera? Please send it to me! And I want more queer MG, especially...for present me, for past me.
