Agent friends, For what it's worth, I'm still reviewing submissions from my couch if you're still submitting! On the lookout esp for heartwarming, literary MG novels, particularly contemporary realistic, fantasy, and magical realism. Stay safe and healthy! #mswl

Just a reminder that I'm not accepting unagented mss at this time outside of conferences. Thank you for thinking of me though! #mswl

High-concept chapter books #mswl

YA non-fiction about sexuality and gender; YA magical realism and fantasy #mswl

Poignant, bittersweet, literary MG about family, friendship, and strong girls. STEM and WNDB always a plus! #mswl

Friendship stories that are funny and whip smart. dialogue and dynamics reminiscent of golden girls, Gilmore girls, broad city... #mswl

YA fantasy like Graceling & Raven Boys, literary MG contemporary esp w/ girls, high-concept chapter book series, always diversity! #mswl

For MG: literary stand-alone realistic with a girl protagonist, coming-of-age, funny/smart/hopeful/sad. #mswl

The next Graceling, YA as dense and weird as Grasshopper Jungle, romantic meets occult a la The Raven Cycle #mswl

Words that DON'T catch my eye in submissions: horror, murder, thriller, pets, popularity. Not sure what that says about me... #mswl

Words that catch my eye in submission pitches: road trip, seaside town, tarot, circus, summer. Just a l'il somethin' 'bout me! #mswl

Starting to get the hang of this being back at work thing. Crossing fingers 2016 will bring me amazing YA contemporary and fantasy #MSWL
