#MSWL. Just finished Louisiana’s Way Home, and it typifies some of what I’m seeking in Middle Grade. I love the voice, Southern setting, eccentric characters, secrets & a fearless girl finding her way.

#mswl YA novel with teen girl that is into kick ass fitness. CrossFit. Weight Lifting.

If you are a writer who ever worked on the Ellen DeGeneres show and would like to write a DEVIL WEARS PRADA-style roman à clef about a wideawake nightmare, please email me. #MSWL

My 2019 goal is more nonfiction. Bring me your food histories, social histories, material culture proposals, true crime projects, gimme all of 'em. Basically, if it's nonfiction, I wanna see it. #mswl

Bio updated and I'm open to submissions again! If you are being brave and sending your query out into the world, please do think of me. I love reading submissions and can't wait to dive back in #MSWL

Just a reminder if you have a YA BILLY ELLIOT, it is still at the top of my #MSWL!

I *really* want to do more author/illustrator picture books and illustrated projects in general. For a sense of my taste, these are my clients: ldlainc.com/illustrators #MSWL

God, so much this last thing. I keep saying I want high stakes but not high body counts. #MSWL

Basically...if you decide to query Michael, you should query me too. #MSWL (is that how this works?)

Time for a 2019 #MSWL. I am very much looking for MG and chapter books. Much as I love YA, I have a lot of it!

and I also will always love my big, high concept MG series! #MSWL

#mswl for 2019 definitely includes more contemporary middle grade standalones!

...but also anti-love stories, break-up stories, friendship break-up stories. Give me all the explorations of relationships of all types, please! #mswl

Super high on my 2019 #MSWL
