#MSWL MG is usually where you'll see my love of space adventures come into play, as well! I'm not a huge fan of space, but for whatever reason, I love them in MG. Imaginations galore!

I love rom-coms and I'm not afraid to say it! Send me your swoon! #mswl

You can also follow me on instagram, I post everything I read with the #cwreads hashtag. Get a taste of my personal reading interests which shows what I'm also looking for in submissions: instagram.com/carlywatters/ #mswl

And on that same note—any an all LGBTQIA+ rep. ALL OF IT.

JUST

ALL THE QUEER LADIES

Seeking fiction and nonfiction for pb through YA to inspire hope and shape tomorrow’s heroes #resist #mswl jdlit.com/marie-lamba

#MSWL MG Diverse and LGBTQIA+ voices. Middle grade is really some of the toughest years of my life, and anything that can help them realize it's okay to be different, is helpful. Love ghost stories and stories of crushes and friendship at this age.

Longing for diverse fiction & nonfiction by #ownvoices, pb-YA; diverse adult fiction & memoir #mswl How to sub: jdlit.com/marie-lamba

I'm always looking for clever/funny MG with a spooky twist and depth of character. Villians must be well developed (a true threat and not just a pest). #mswl

Bisexuality in YA. Make it sexy, make it sweet, make it NBD. Just make it. #mswl

STEAMPUNK.

Note: I don’t want stories centered on inventors. It’s okay to have them, but I don’t want the MCs journey to be focused on inventing.

Give me the grit, aesthetic, atmosphere, and world building though!!
