It's #MSWLMonday! Come see what our editors would like to see in February. anaiahpress.wordpress.com/2021/01/25/msw…Anaiah Press has reopened to queries. Click on the link to see what @MaisanoLaura and I are looking for. #MSWL

What about The Breakfast Club, but in a youth group missions trip/mandatory community service backdrop? Either multiple POV or from the perspective of the self-declared social outcast who realizes these are her people, after all? #MSWL #Christian #YA #Contemporary

I've loved John Knowles since middle school. If you could call your MS "A Separate Peace" for Christian teens, I want to read it. I'm not sure how you'd make it "Christian," but I work for a Christian press, so I have to have some faith element. Just don't be cheesy :). #MSWL

For #contemporary #YA, smart, humorous, introspective first person is more likely to draw me in, but I can fall in love with a sweet, dreamy voice, too. My tolerance for sap and cliche is pretty low, so be very careful with those. #MSWL

I love Lloyd Alexander's simple, beautiful characters and the grace with which he treats even his villains, but most of all, I love his themes of honor being found among the lowly. I would love to work on a MS that makes me feel like I've found a new Prydain. #MSWL

With #FaithPitch coming up in a few weeks, I want to share a few #MSWL items... twitter.com/Faith_Pitch/st…I'm just not into angels. Same goes for demons, werewolves, vampires, witches, and memoir, especially when pronounced meh-MWAH. anti-#MSWL

What's been lacking in my subs is a nice allegorical fantasy, something subtle not hit you over the head with a brick KWIM? #MSWLDitto. @MaisanoLaura and I get along beautifully, but I'm not above fighting her for a well done allegory. #MSWL #CF

I’m specifically looking for #YA Christian Fantasy. I’ll take Contempory YA #CF, too, but I really want to get lost in a new world! #MSWL anaiahpress.com/submissions

I hope to post more specific #MSWL items throughout the day, but this will give you a general idea what I'm looking for and how to query me at @anaiahpress. No Twitter pitches, please! :) #YA #CF

Whether allegorical fantasy or contemporary #Christian #YA, if your manuscript feels like @NeedtoBreathe - raw, honest, mud-longing for beauty- I'd love to see your query. #mswl

Send me your beauty from ashes #YA #Christian #Fantasy. #MSWL

I'm still on the hunt for #Christian/#Ispy #YA fantasy and contemporary. If you see your story on my #MSWL, I'd love to hear from you! anaiahpress.wordpress.com/2018/01/09/new…
Editor
I'd love to see some #YA #Christian #Fantasy along the lines of C.S. Lewis, Donita K. Paul, and my ever adored Lloyd Alexander. Dragons welcome. Angels, demons, werewolves, vampires, and the like not so welcome. #mswl

I really love Lloyd Alexander. His work is simply beautiful on so many levels. If you can add a #Christian element in a #CSLewis-esque manner - obvious, but not overwhelming, and generally enjoyed regardless of the reader's faith - I would be over the moon. #MSWL #YA, #Fantasy
Editor
I'd also like #Contemporary #Christian/#Inspy #YA featuring homeschooled students in an honest, ultimately positive light. Showcase the weird and wonderful side of this diverse community with humor and love. #MSWL
