And not to conflate things, I have never stopped looking for Black voices to add to my list of authors. If you write fun, escapist stories for MG or YA, I'm here! Currently hungry for rom-coms and light fantasy, but open to an adventure. elana.me/wish-list #mswl

Here is my #mswl darleyandersonblog.com/2020/02/25/mee… Generally, outside of crime, things that are uplifting & are about finding/making connections. High concept, feel-good, love stories. And across children's uplifting again, funny, things inspired by kindness and nature.

“In Women’s Fiction, I’m looking for upmarket fresh voices, stories about great friendships and adventures with a strong sense of place.” @maureen_moretti #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

MIDDLE GRADE:
- Funny and sweet contemporary coming-of-age stories
- Light fantasy adventures with great heart
- Historical fiction highlighting lesser-known narratives about marginalized folk

#MSWL

#MSWL - #ownvoices #marginalizedvoices friendship-based adventure a la Goonies, please! #MG #YA #amquerying #amwriting

Me too--especially the YA. I won't be representing MG anytime soon, it seems. #MSWL

ME TOO #MSWL

MG or YA that comps to Tamora Pierce’s Tortall Universe, especially THE SONG OF THE LIONESS and IMMORTALS series. Intrigue! Adventure! Mythical creatures! Characters who kick butt! Expansive world building! It’s an eternal #MSWL for me.

I’m really itching for some MG manuscripts that take me on an adventure, especially #own ones about non-Western places and cultures. I love mythology and folklore and spooks and puzzles, and I’m a sucker for a snarky narrator. If this is your book, please send my way! #MSWL

Rounding up a few #mswl tweets that I will now think of as my official #QuarantineMSWL (1/?)

For more on what I'm looking for, check out my #MSWL at manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/robe…

Quarantining gives one time to think. I’d love an epic matzah-finding Passover book. (Why I thought of this...no idea.) I want action. Clever silliness. Adventure. Would the four sons be involved? Who knows! A picture book of epic proportions...to find the elusive matzah. #mswl

#mswl

Please send me a middle grade that takes me on an adventure. I (we) desperately need one. #mswl

And I will most assuredly miss lots of pitches today (yay kids at home!). My queries are open regardless of today's event. I'm always looking for funny, madcap adventures in MG and big sweeping escapist stories in YA (all genres, but not the bloody ones). #DVpit #MSWL

while working from home, I've had Romancing the Stone & The Mummy playing on repeat, and I'd love to see a romantic adventure/suspense pop up in my queries #MSWL

I desperately want to go to space right now! I'm not much of a hard #SF person; I love character-driven adventures with heart a la Becky Chambers, and more sweeping space operas (ragtag crews, seemingly impossible odds, battles and hijinks, and...ahem...some romance) #MSWL

I want to read something about kids going on adventures #mswl

I don't know about you, but I'm all about the escapist reading right now! Please send any queries that qualify my way, particularly MG adventure stories of all kinds. #MSWL
