So moved by #IDanielBlake on BBC2 last night. I'd love to hear Daisy's voice in children's fiction. What's life like for a 12 yr old when your mum can't make the rent? When you have to move 100s of miles to be housed? When your Mum has an apple while you're having your tea #MSWL

#mswl southern gothic YA. Go bold or go home.

sibiz.eu/en/2015/07/16/… I’m a first generation Slovenian. My father emigrated when he was a child. Would love to see some YA stories around Slovenian myths and legends. #mswl #amquerying

#MSWL a bunch of teens who discover they have super powers but just use them to do normal every day stuff. Controlling the weather for optimum spring break rays. Flying to school to save on gas.

#MSWL. In all areas, I am always drawn to strong voices and distinct settings functioning like an additional character, and unique plotting and twists.

#MSWL. Just finished MAID and would love to find some narrative nonfiction that celebrates underrepresented voices, especially women, triumphing over tremendous odds be they physical, financial and/or mental.

#MSWL. Always looking for great adult fiction, e.g. Southern Gothic, medical romance, romantic comedies, Up Lit, domestic thrillers, historical fiction, women’s fiction, mysteries and cozy mysteries. You can email me at atuttle@dystel.com.

#MSWL. Also love Middle Grade stories addressing need for kindness, showing characters overcoming physical and mental obstacles and showing inclusion. Love messages against bullying, being courageous and taking risks.
Welcome stories set in school, magic worlds and at home.

#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
