Just finished Legends & Lattes and my heart couldn’t be warmer, so of course cozy fantasy with found family is shooting to the top of my #MSWL for both MG and YA ✨
Editor
Just gently cried my way through the end of Alice Hoffman’s The Red Garden, and I’d 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 ✨ #MSWL

Hi hello Yellowjackets is my new YA #MSWL

Just a reminder that I (and many other editors!) are eager to acquire and amplify trans voices. Agents, I’m always looking for picture books, graphic novels, and MG/YA novels that uplift the trans community 🏳️⚧️ No more room in this world or on our pub lists for bigotry & hate!
Editor
Hi folks! I have SO many wonderful picture books and graphic novels on my list, and I’d love to get some more novels on there, too! MG and YA are very welcome in my life at the moment ❤️ #MSWL
Editor
Hi hello I’d love a very queer and very snarky YA heist novel please and thanks #MSWL

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 can’t 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 it’s from a BIPOC perspective! #MSWL
Editor
Hi, I am always in the mood for spooky, feminist witch stories, so that’s a hard #MSWL right there for ya

I want to believe that stories can change hearts. I’m 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
