And finally...

5. MG with a Big Hook! I like funny books and magical books and sad books and creepy books. In other words, I'm open to any genre, as long as it has a fun, snappy premise that'll get a kid's attention!

4. LatinX representation in kidlit- all ages, all genres, though I am particularly interested in finding a YA contemp & a MG fantasy! A few favorites: @LauraTNamey, @Nina_Writes, @acevedowrites, @djolder, and @CeliaCPerez. (You should be reading *all* of them!)

3. RomCom - Adult or YA. I want laugh out loud, swoony, sexy, joyful reads. I loved RWRB and The Hating Game on the Adult side, To All the Boys and Gentleman's Guide on the YA side. But really, I'm happy to read anything that's truly Rom AND Com. #mswl

2. Adult thrillers/suspense: I like stories w/ top notch characterization + a slow burn, and also stories that are gripping page turners that I finish in one sitting. A few favorites: Ruth Ware, Rhiannon Navin, Wendy Heard, Gillian Flynn, Danya Kukafka, Oyinkan Braithwaite #mswl

This. Agents, please send me work by Black Latinx authors. Not just this month but all year round. #mswl

1. Adult Horror: I want books that have something to SAY--about our present, our past, our future. Feminist/anti-colonialist stories are close to my heart, but I'm open to anything that can be described as "smart + terrifying." I'm also open to grounded fantasy w/ horror elements

I’m officially open to queries again! Here’s a short thread of what’s at the top of my #mswl for the rest of 2020! (full MSWL linked at the end)

My latest #mg #mswl

Middle grade #MSWL pleaseeeeee

This is my ultimate #mswl as well.

I would love to work with trans femmes / trans women authors. Consider this call an exception to my closed submissions. #mswl

So I suppose this could be a #MSWL of sorts 🤷🏼‍♀️

Also, how is there not a cinnamon roll emoji?

OK, new #MSWL: @RosanneParry's A WHALE OF THE WILD, but revengier.

OH! And one more thing I'd love to have! #MSWL: Adult (and for THIS ONLY for right now) YA stories with ghosts and ghost hunters in the vein of @Victoria_Laurie's Ghost Hunter series!

2 more days! #MSWL: Adult Romance--RomCom, Contemp, Regency, American Historical, Paranormal. Favorite authors: @RachVD @Handbagjunkie #JuliaQuinn @mstessabailey @LaurenBlakely3 @courtneymilan @KarenMMoning (Highlander Series...still need to read Fever Series), @HHoangWrites

Spotlit! Thanks very much to @critiquematch for the thoughtful questions. #MSWL blog.critiquematch.com/2020/09/danya-…

Just tossing this out for a Monday: I would love to see more lifestyle and food/diet books. I am a big cook, and would love to find more books in this area. #mswl
