My adult #MSWL still hopes for GREAT thrillers & suspense. But IF it's historical, then it must match, re: detectives, the BRILLIANT Leo Wechsler OR Gereon Rath. If modern, it must match Maarten S. Sneijder. So far, I haven't seen a submission worthy of them. Please, send me one.

Look whose beautiful face greeted me on #MSWL!

If your project fits the bill, run to query @mina_hamedi !!

Time for another #MSWL! "For middle grade, take her on quests with female MCs that display bravery and perseverance that’s not in spite of gender, and on feel good adventures amongst friends like the Goonies." @PinaRamona

Hungry for submissions! Also really looking to be swept off my feet with a great voicey fantasy (non-royal, preferably). #mswl

I want this PB so badly!!! #mswl

“Authentic contemporary YA like Emergency Contact by Mary H.K. Choi, Don’t Read the Comments by Eric Smith, We Are Okay by Nina LaCour, and The Poet X by Elizabeth Acevedo.” @agentvicente #MSWL mariavicente.com/representation

#MSWL: I want FULL LENGTH curvy girl, body-positive romance. I’m sick of either not finding them or finding they’re only novellas. I want the steam, the heat, the heart-racing…all of it! I’m still closed to queries, but if you have one and are querying, DM me for a special link.

#MSWL romcom centered around Thanksgiving

I am not quite open to subs yet but I have a weird fascination with stories that take place entirely on transit you cannot easily leave. Like ferries, trains, boats, planes, even small spaceships.

These are very hard to do well but when they are, I am obsessed #mswl

This right here! This is on my #MSWL when I reopen to queries in January!

"History, Business, Politics, Current Affairs, Memoir.” @CurtisPSLA #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

“Non-Fiction by BIPOC food writers.” @carlywatters #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

I’ve been getting thru my requested submissions and looking for more!

#mswl:
YA grounded thrillers, high concept contemporary with a speculative twist
MG non-portal fantasy, speculative twists, intergenerational stories

Everything with and by marginalized people please!

Oooohhhh!!!! #MSWL as soon as I reopen for queries!!!

I keep thinking about this article on TikTok and mental health. There's got to be YA novel in this, or maybe a retelling of The Crucible. #MSWL

If you think your story and I would be a great fit, check out the submission guidelines @fluxbooks and @jollyfishpress! Looking forward to reading your amazing stories! #mswl (7/7)

Across all genres/age groups, I love character-driven stories with deeply satisfying emotional arcs. Make me laugh. Make me cry. Make me want to throw my laptop across the room because I’m so invested in the characters that their exploits/bad decisions drive me wild! #mswl (6/7)

For MG, I’m looking for:
contemporary
humor
action/adventure
mystery
science fiction
fantasy

I’m especially interested in stories that tackle difficult topics in compassionate, thoughtful ways. Bonus for a strong voice! #mswl (5/7)

On that note, if you think your book would be banned in Texas, definitely submit, because you’re probably doing something right. #mswl (4/7)

YA stories that combine social commentary w/ a fresh premise + a killer voice are my sweet spot. Does your story have feminist, intersectional, post-colonial, or environmentally conscious themes? Does it challenge readers to look at the world in a new way? Submit! #mswl (3/7)
