Middle grade versions of Fresh Off the Boat and Blackish. #mswl

Family stories from diverse perspectives like Williams-Garcia's One Crazy Summer or Lai's Listen, Slowly...diverse voices in general. #mswl

Creepy middle grade that's more about the emotion than the horror factor--like that you'd see from Neil Gaiman or Holly Black. #mswl

Or hilarious ones w/ a rad mix of female friends like LUMBERJANES 😍 #mswl (4)

GNs based on (or inspired by) real life experiences like SMILE, EL DEAFO, and ROLLER GIRL that transport me to that age. #mswl (2)

Agents always ask: what do you want that you're not getting? One answer: graphic novels. #mswl (1)

@ChrisCanWrite Is the #MSWL submission process the same as standard submission? Should we address specifically to you?@ladyliterology Unfortunately I don't accept direct #MSWL subs. I just use it for agents (& their authors) to know what I'm interested in.

#MSWL MG that deals w/ strange & unusual in new ways like #GravityFalls. Bonus if there's humor. Extra bonus for interesting family dynamics
