Thought I'd share my fiction #MSWL as I prepare to open! As mentioned, my list will be 60/40 towards MG/YA, the rest adult. I don't have much MG so during my first open query week, I will be considering MG only. However, I'll do different genres and age-groups each month, so🧵

How about a new mystery series like Alfred Hitchcock and the Three Investigators, The Last Starfighter movie (give me space adventures where there's tons at stake; video games become real adventures),etc.

How about a gender-flipped Can't Buy Me Love?, freaking Labyrinth come on!, Big, Ferris Buellers Day Off (any # of riffs here), Weird Science, Summer of Monkeys, Where the Red Fern Grows (cry me a river), Animorphs, Remember The Saddle Club - What's the guy version?

Like guys and gals, what were you obsessed with at that age that wasn't all about romance & might have book vibes? For me: Goonies (treasure, adventure, ok smidge romance), Indiana Jones, Seaquest (was obsessed), Adventures in Babysitting, The Boy Who Could Fly...

Also, I'd be remiss not add that I'd particularly love to see some things in the 14-16 category that have adventure vibes like Indiana Jones or survival vibes: think an older boy scout group gets lost or cut off from society, or someone wonders through a portal to a new world.

#MSWL Give me boy-centric middle grade firmly in the 10-13 (think Space Case, Hatchet) category & also give me boy-centric younger YA perfect for 14-16 year old's. Think The Shadow Road, Patrick Ness books. Reference this in referral line with MSWL boy MG 10-13 / 14-16.

The 40 will comprise of adult fiction, mainly, with the odd non-fiction project thrown in. I'll do a more specific MSWL in the coming days ready for when I open up. I will use Query Manager like before and will keep my semi-personalized rejections system.

My list will be more focused on middle-grade & YA fiction this time, leaning about 60/40 in that direction. No one else at DMLA is currently looking for MG so I'm thrilled to be able to fill that gap. When I open up to queries, I'll seeking mainly MG in the first instance.

Had the privilege of reading SO many great books this year, I thought I'd put together a visual #mswl

These titles are all amazing and I'd love to see something similar!
