YOUNG ADULT:
- A fresh, self-aware diverse romance ala #JaneTheVirgin for teens
-A LGBTQIA+ story that doesn’t feature a coming out story
-A freshman year of college story!!
-A gritty, heart-pounding thriller rooted in character with a slow-burning romance

MIDDLE GRADE:
- #OwnVoices magical realism, reimagined folk tales, and sweeping, character-driven adventures
- Literary, contemporary stories about tween female friendship and the ins and outs of tweendom (if that’s a word)

PICTURE BOOKS: thoughtful, uplifting pbs that make me want to cry and also read to every child I know.

i can’t believe i forgot to say—in these most autumnal of falls, i’d love to acquire a #middlegrade or #graphicnovel with strong “over the garden wall” vibes 💀🍁🌕

Just thought of one more - YA - The Phone Booth (Yes, that 2002 thriller) but instead of a phone booth the MC gets a text and is dragged into this world murder and mayhem in the ultimate game of cat and mouse #MSWL

Extremely same! #MSWL

This entire vibe #MSWL

Oh, and always romance of course—all kinds! #MSWL

On this #MSWL Day, I’m aiming high: Agents, I would be absolutely over the moon to get a modern-day Phantom Tollbooth. Adventure, innocence, sophistication, and my god the wordplay. My inbox awaits the next Lands Beyond.

I'd love to see more #ownvoices Nonfiction . Please Query me. #MSWL

#mswl Still need in my life!

I’m admittedly a gringa, but I grew up in Houston, TX with Latinx influences woven thru every part of life. I’d love to see the work of more Latinx creators—across all kids/YA categories & niches—in my inbox, b/c I want readers to be able to find more of it on bookshelves. #MSWL

Still looking for!! #mswl 😄

Um, yes. Generation ships gone awry. #MSWL

Oooh yes please #MSWL

Biological warfare in a fantasy could be cool. #MSWL

#mswl 😍😈

#MSWL send me your timeless books for middle grade readers that will encourage kids to get off their screens, appreciate the natural world and have real social interactions. (Although a great text message exchange in a book is also fun if it feels real!)

This is so creepy. I want It. #MSWL

#mswl also memoir/narrative nonfic that braids together research with personal experience. Kind of like 'The Crane Wife' essay, but a book, meets LAB GIRL. Extra points if it's about marine life because we all kind of wanted to be marine biologists when we were younger didnt we?
