Just finished Legends & Lattes and my heart couldnโt be warmer, so of course cozy fantasy with found family is shooting to the top of my #MSWL for both MG and YA โจ

Just gently cried my way through the end of Alice Hoffmanโs The Red Garden, and Iโd very much love a multi-generational MG or YA novel that lovingly explores the ties that bind us to our ancestors and our homes. And, well, a little magic never hurts โจ #MSWL

Just a reminder that I (and many other editors!) are eager to acquire and amplify trans voices. Agents, Iโm always looking for picture books, graphic novels, and MG/YA novels that uplift the trans community ๐ณ๏ธโโง๏ธ No more room in this world or on our pub lists for bigotry & hate!

JOANNA NEWSOM BOT @jnewsombot
Life is thundering blissful towards deathin a stampede
of his fumbling green gentleness.
You stopped by;
I was all alive.
In my doorway, we shucked and jived.
And when you wept, I was gone;
see, I got gone when I got wise.
But I canโt with certainty say we survived.
#MSWL for a YA that carries this same heart

Hello! I am on the hunt for a dark, magical YA that has elements of romance but is more largely focused on Some Grand Mystery/Threat, in the vein of Chime or The Witch of Blackbird Pond. Gimme that spooky, transportive grit, especially if itโs from a BIPOC perspective! #MSWL

I want to believe that stories can change hearts. Iโm actively seeking stories about immigrants, refugees, and the marginalized, so please send me your graphic novels, your picture books, your YA, your MG! Love and empathy and awareness can be radical. #MSWL
