2) Contemporary MG/YA with LGBTQ+ characters.
3) MG graphic novels!
4) Underrepresented voices.
5) YA or MG that deals w/grief and/or mental health.

Think THE NIX with a more reasonable word count, J. Ryan Stradal-type regional flavor but by/from/reflecting a wide array of people and communities. I gravitate strongly to contemporary over historical but do love a good multigenerational tale. #MSWL

Chatting with @JimMcCarthy528 about my #MSWL these days, I've realized I'm HUNGRY for a hearty Midwest novel - something like THE TURNER HOUSE or THE GREAT BELIEVERS that's smart and urgent but also with great warmth and rich storytelling to sink into.

Good morning, #amquerying #amwriting community!PitMad may be over. There were almost half a million pitches, which is an overwhelming turnout! Because of that, I know I 💯 missed some things.
Query me anyways!

I'm particularly eager to build up my MG and Adult lists, but I can't resist a good PB or YA.
I'm perennially on the lookout for BIPOC, LGBT, and Neurodiverse creators in all categories.

#mswl I’m really wanting to find a great YA where one of the MCs is transgender. If it’s cute or funny or lighthearted, all the better. Although it can also have its serious parts too. #WritingCommnunity #amwriting #amquerying #amediting

Rep I'd like to see more of? NONBINARY CHARACTERS PLEASE!Nonbinary characters who fall in love, who are messy and real, and just trying their best.
It's so, so important to me that there's more nonbinary rep in books.

Pose. Literally any aspect of it, but I’d love to see a HEA. #MSWL

Relatedly, I would love a book on CTE and traumatic brain injury, contact sports, capitalism, identity, and culture from an expert on the subject and/or a contact sport athlete (I'm looking at you, #DerbyTwitter). #MSWL

#WritingCommunity: When folks wonder what kind of true crime I'm looking for, Killer Inside on Netflix is exactly it. This story weaves together questions about social norms, capitalism, culture, and deviation thoughtfully and with nuance. #MSWL

A mix of sci-fi and fantasy? I'd love to see it IF it's adult/NA, High heat level, HEA/HFN, and between 50-75K. Query me here: QueryManager.com/LisaGreenQueri… #MSWL

In 1985, a mysterious group of women calling themselves the "Games Mistresses" released the first of a series of text adventure games. The story behind their creation is the wildest one you'll read today. #50YearsOfTextGamesif50.substack.com/p/1992-silverw… pic.twitter.com/IGx3z5GQ3g
If someone takes the bones of this—cultish women's group holes up in historic house & creates text-based adventure games (minus the hints of far-right extremism)—& write a novel, please dear god send it to me. "There are many Miss Martindales..."—Are you kidding?! #MSWL

I would totally read a nonfiction examination of parasocial relationships (and their consequences?) especially written in the classic pop science or pop journalism tone #MSWL

Even if you don’t have a fear of heights, you probably won’t be able to try out the 82-foot-long, see-through swimming pool in London that sits more than 10 stories above the ground. Pool access is limited to select residents at a luxury apartment complex. nyti.ms/34F2hIy pic.twitter.com/BBCRnvehYWDear #amwriting, please, please consider including this in your contemporary #romance #mystery #thriller or..? #MSWL
