AGREE, @marjorieingall! Query me if yr book reflects the rich diversity w/in Judaism, if you're writing about a "Black Orthodox Jewish kid who solves mysteries," or a "Jewish girl on a desert planet who rescues a fugitive droid and saves the galaxy"! #MSWL nyti.ms/3r0URd0

Time for more #MSWL! In terms of categories, I am really hungry for MG. Stand-alone or series, classic-feeling or not, contemporary or historical, mystery, fantasy, sci-fi, adventure - I’d like to see more MG!

As I said, open to all genres, but some I particularly love are fantasy and mystery. Humor is frequently a key element of the books I fall in love with. #MSWL

I love historical mysteries - think The Woman in White or The Alienist – if you’re writing something like that for YA, I want to see it! #MSWL

Fantasy that uses American folklore – Johnny Appleseed, Paul Bunyan etc – as part of its DNA. #MSWLIn terms of genre, my favorites (in no particular order) are: mystery, fantasy, sci-fi, hist-fic. I love a genre mash-up. #MSWL

Starting a new tradition! Every month, I’ll post my Mid-Month Wish – a description of the kind of book I’d like to find in queries. #MSWL+This month: Fast-paced YA mystery with a twisty plot, esp one w/a forensic angle. Scary, but not gory -- keep me up all night! #MSWL +
