After visiting Burano, a center of lace-making in the Venice lagoon for centuries, I’d love to find a book about the Italian girls kidnapped by the French court to use their skills exclusively for the French king. #MSWL

I also would love a good missing kid story. (I know I sound crazy, but that’s publishing for ya.) Anyway, think The Child Finder #MSWL

I love “near” historical fiction (for lack of a better term). Books set in the 70’s, 80’s & 90’s. #MSWL

Best time to query an agent? When their inbox is getting low, and their partial/full box is getting low. Guess what, peeps! It’s THAT time! Check my pinned tweet to see what I’m acquiring. #amquerying #MSWL #writingcommunity

I want books that are a true pleasure to read – that are a hymn to the power of friendship, family and love; that look at the world with eyes wide-open, but are still big-hearted and optimistic. #MSWL

What I look for in MG, regardless of genre: great storytelling; layered, appealing characters; literary quality writing, matched to a page-turning pace. #MSWL

Contemporary MG novels with a speculative element, or touch of magic – very much up my alley. #MSWL

MG fantasy or sci-fi that’s gloriously imaginative, and introduces me to a world I want to dive right into. #MSWL

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!
