I'm usually an all sci-fi/fantasy, all the time kinda editor.
BUT...
Right now I would *kill* for an OUTER BANKS-esque YA—a soapy contemporary adventure/survival story, particularly one with a strong focus on class divide...
Agents, hit me up! #mswl

@sarahrmccabe @jeanmare_gag Definitely giving off vibes. Erased VHS tapes that don't play but you hear voices through the screen.Creepy doll from the closet that just says momma, momma. Owner rushes downstairs to put the box outdoors. And doll keeps saying momma in a deep demon voice.Closet has more dolls😈#MSWL 😂

Dear agents,
Just want to put out the call again that I'd love to see more fantasy/sci-fi middle grade submissions in my inbox! I have a TON of space for mg on my list right now, so [*insert grabby hands here*]!! #MSWL

I want a YA book that vibes like Taylor Swift's Evermore. #mswl

I'm usually a strict SFF kind of girl, but guys, with the world as terrible as it is right now, I just want to read some fabulous, sexy romances--SFF or contemporary alike. So agents, send them my way! #MSWL
Editor
SOME NEWS! After an S&S restructure, I'm now at McElderry, where I'll still be acquiring YA but will *also* be actively looking to build my MG list!
So agents, please keep me in mind for all your upcoming SFF middle grade! I'm definitely prioritizing that at the moment. #MSWL
Editor
This pandemic is hitting all of us differently on an emotional level, I know, but it's kind of making me crave stories about people worse off than we are... Does this make me a bad person?
Even so, I'd love to see more apocalyptic survival stories in my submissions box! #mswl

I want more queer romances with problematic morally-grey characters, I want queer Zukos and queer Jude/Cardans and queer Salvatore brothers. I love cinnamon roll queers but I hate the feeling that queer characters NEED to be morally upstanding to exist in YALet’s say this louder for the people in the back!!! #mswl
Editor
I'm ready to start seeing more urban fantasy YA in my inbox, just saying... #MSWL
