In the end, my tastes skew more literary on the MG side. I love a tearjerker and I'm always open to novels-in-verse.

I look forward to seeing lots of great new projects in my query inbox!

As 4/15, I am completely caught up on queries.

Still looking for author/illustrators!

I'm very hungry for MG and YA non-fiction.

We are going back to the moon. Send me your space race non-fiction! The Right Stuff for kids! Voyager 1 is turning 50 soon! Give me SPACE!

I would love some brilliant, atmospheric YA horror that is reminiscent of THE HAUNTING OF HILL HOUSE or a slasher like SCREAM.

I've also become a fan of novels-in-verse across middle grade and YA.

And I'd love to add a few more graphic novels to my list across all ages! #mswl

My client list is super queer but I am definitely on the lookout for stories by trans women, both in fiction and non-fiction! We need these stories. I represent all ages, but primarily focus on childrens, picture books through YA! #mswl

I am still very much on the hunt from MG and YA non-fiction! I am always on the hunt for great queer books of all ages and I would love to add some more queer illustrators to my list! #MSWL

I’m also really hungry for science and math non-fiction in middle grade and YA. My picture book list is really strong in NF these days and I want older kids to be inspired by math and science, too! #mswl

I am really hungry for some non-fiction middle grade and YA in my queries and for the right topic (pop culture, feminism, theater/music/dance), I’m open to adult non-fiction projects. For ex: I’m an avid fan of @EggcellentPod, @WestWingWeekly, @GilmoreGuysShow, and #Cheer. #mswl

If you have this, send it to me and I will send it to Molly! This is a really important kind of representation for me. I'm open to both fiction and non-fiction! #mswl #invisibleillness

If you have middle grade or YA project that feels like #OneDayAtATime with all of that amazing diverse representation, please send it my way. I’ll need to fill the hole created by its cancellation. #mswl

My query inbox is longing for MG and YA narrative non-fiction. Exploring history from a new angle? Finding fun ways to discuss STEM topics? Please send them my way! I want more non-ficton! #MSWL

This is eternally on my #MSWL. I really want diverse lgbtqia+ middle grade on my client list, especially stories for those queer girl-identifying tweens.

I'm still on the hunt for a middle grade that just makes me sob and fills my heart with FEELINGS with maybe a touch of magical realism? #MSWL

Everyone is looking for non-fiction across all ages PB-YA. I would love to find some great MG and YA narrative non-fiction or memoir. Untold stories and POVs throughout history or STEM! #MSWL

I've been standing on this soapbox for years. Send me your queer girl stories. Especially middle grade. Make me cry like the first time I saw FUN HOME and heard "Ring of Keys." These stories deserve to be heard! #MSWL

Agents! I'm looking for graphic novel/hybrid-illustrated middle grade novels. What do you got for me? #MSWL

Not currently accepting unagented subs, but actively looking for MG and YA graphic novels that are funny and diverse. #MSWL

Submissions are starting to trickle in. Here we go! Right now, I'm looking for picture books, MG, & YA with strong visual components. #MSWL
