lunchtime thought: lately been getting some young writers asking for advice and i don't feel totally equipped to dispense it but i will say one area that is wide open should you choose to make it your milieu is hidden or forgotten or undertold stories of women of the pastI wants them, my preciouses. Fiction or nonfiction! (And teen or middle grade, as always!) #mswl

Getting this question a lot, so agent friends: I've been on a MG kick lately, but yes, I AM still looking for (fresh, hooky) YA! #MSWL

I talk a lot about wanting LGBTQ YA—but lately I'm really dying for an LGBTQ middle grade! Self-discovery, first crushes, family! #MSWL

A middle grade manuscript that makes me just break down crying on the subway. #MSWL

Evergreen: underrepresented #ownvoices across all genres, MG or YA. Identity informs story but doesn't need to BE the story. #MSWL
Editor
Seriously craving some historical MG & YA. Bonus points if it's a less commonly depicted time/place! (i.e. outside WWII Europe) #mswl
Editor
Really dying for more contemporary MG--friendship drama, multi-gen family stories, LGBTQ tweens... hit me up! #MSWL

Would love more contemporary/realistic novels set outside North America. YA and MG! #MSWL

Been seeing more #ownvoices YA--which is great!--but not as much MG. Definitely looking for more! #MSWL
Editor
Looking for some proactive, feminist MG characters. Let's celebrate stories like Marley Dias's. #MSWL theguardian.com/books/2016/feb…

Very much on the hunt for a middle grade novel that will make me cry. #MSWL
Editor
MG featuring socioeconomic diversity, and navigating that landscape in friendships and at school. #MSWL
Editor
YA/MG fantasy where the magic is essential to the story. Can be beautiful, arcane, messy, inconvenient, whatever, but feels integral. #MSWL
Editor
Would love a book, YA or MG, that's just a bucket of sass--loud, voicey, snarky humor, with an MC I can root for. #MSWL

More middle grade in general. Not necessarily a huge adventure, just heart, voice, a touch of humor. (So, the holy grail.) #MSWL
