I think 2020 had more disabled Own Voices than any previous year. The creators are predominantly white— kids need to see themselves at the intersections. Here are some I read & liked. I didn’t do a lot of YA. Fill in the gaps & share your favs. (Skip my bk; it has enough love.) pic.twitter.com/YatGeNSX5XLove to see more books featuring disabled #ownvoices. (Hint: I'm looking for this, especially BIPOC creators. #MSWL)

Happy New Year! I've updated my #mswl and am open to submissions this month. I'd love to find a compulsively readable page-turner in 2021, anchored in hope. manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/alli…

I want (more than anything) for those stories to be centered around black teens and teens of color who are passionate & creative & happy to let their geek flag fly. Stories with inclusive casts that are supportive, want to have fun & make a difference with their creations. #MSWL
Editor
📚 Finally, I want entertaining, inspirational stories about fandom and geek communities. I'm looking for less fanfic & cosplay stories (unless they are super unique & have a killer voice) & more stories about video games, web comics, anime/manga, podcasts, film, and more. #MSWL
Editor
EVERYTHING! I love a good tournament arc, epic showdown & accidental/acedemic athlete (as long as they put in the work to get even better). Examples: Rock climbing, running, roller derby, rowing, chess, esports, board games, cooking, LARPing, ice skating . . . Surprise me! #MSWL
Editor
📚 More diverse, inclusive sport & competition stories! Send me entertaining stories that make palms sweat & hearts race & inspire us to get out & try something new. Underdog teams, determined solo athlete, and everything in between are fair game. So what counts? #MSWL
Editor
📚 More diverse, inclusive teens falling in love! Looking for romance, romantic comedy & situational rom-coms that can make me laugh and then hit me in all the feels. Favorites: fake dating, rivals-to-lovers, friends-to-lovers, stuck together & second chance #MSWL
Editor
I really want an upbeat, playful femme/non-binary friend squad just figuring out life & supporting the heck out of each other. Generally also looking for stories with conflicts that test the group dymanics but make them stronger as they work TOGETHER to overcome obstacles #MSWL
Editor
📚 Contemporary, commercial YA with an upbeat voice, emotional stakes & a heart of gold! Send all the situational comedies, quirky coming of age & tried-and-true friendship/squad stories. #MSWL

Brit Brooks-Perilli ✨ is closed to queries ✨ @Britny_Perilli
Now that we've rolled into 2021, I think it's time to focus on what I want to bring more of to @RP_Kids and publishing in general this year. I'm so grateful to have worked on some amazing books in 2020 & I'm excited to meet even more agents & authors this year. ✨📚A #MSWL 🧵
📚 First and foremost, I'm looking for more YA and children's non-fiction by BIPOC, LGBTQ, & other marginalized creators and stories that are bursting with joy and passion -- especially when it comes to fandom/pop culture/geek stories and communities! #MSWL
