For graphic novels both MG and YA, give me your messy, flawed, embarrassing, relatable coming-of-age. Think Roller Girl, Laura Dean Keeps Breaking Up with Me, Invisible Emmie, El Deafo, Stargazing, Check Please.
Editor
Again in MG, I’d love to find more grounded or just slightly speculative adventure stories. Spies, detectives, quest and adventure seekers. I’m a sucker for a good competition!
Editor
On the more fantastical side of MG, I love weird! Send me the stories that Henry Selick would turn into animated movies.
Editor
In MG, I love heart-tugging, honest voices that are either grounded or have a slight magic touch. Think Tae Keller, Karina Yan Glaser, Rebecca Stead.
Editor
It’s that time of year when fall submissions start flying, so here’s a little #MSWL thread! Big picture, I’m acquiring MG and YA novels and graphic novels in all genres and am always looking for more underrepresented voices in all categories.
Editor
In YA and MG, very much looking for more diversity and especially #ownvoices. We want to see your stories and share them. #MSWL
Editor
I'm still looking for a classic, heart-wrenching MG animal story, like Because of Winn Dixie or Pax. #MSWL
