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)

For YA, I’m pretty wide open in terms of genre:
contemporary
thriller
mystery
horror
high fantasy with a unique magic system
historical fiction about underrepresented experiences
science fiction
#mswl (2/7)

Now that I’m mostly settled in, I’m eager to find my next favorite read. Here are the types of YA and MG stories I’m interested in acquiring for @fluxbooks and @jollyfishpress.

#MSWL: A THREAD (1/7)

Today's #MSWL pulls from literary agent Emily Forney's website: "In YA, [stories that] are highly romantic, glamorized, [with] rich world building that feels so satisfyingly developed." @EmilyKaitlinnn

“Standout single subject books tend to grab me really quickly. If you think your project is too niche, I might be right for you.” @ericsmithrocks #MSWL ericsmithrocks.com/mswl

Give me all the dark, twisty, female-driven psychological suspense, please. #mswl
