A sweeping MG or YA fantasy with epic stakes, bold themes, lush writing, and relatable characters. Bonus points for series potential. MG and YA fantasy is always at the top of my #MSWL and in these times, I especially want to lose myself in a smart, well-crafted world.

Idk if #MSWLMonday is a thing, but as long as we’re all on lock down, I’ve decided I’m going to throw a few #MSWL items out into the universe every week. I can’t take unagented submissions, but agent friends, here’s a few things I’d love to see in my inbox right now:A MG with Sandlot vibes. I’m missing baseball so hardcore right now. ⚾️ #mswl
