This is appalling & I suspect the showing in kids/YA/MG books would be equally dismal if calculated. Our young readers deserve more + better. Latinx writers, illustrators, & cartoonists creating work for young readers: my inbox is (perpetually) very open to you. #MSWL

This thread is a joke but I am here for it and so is @BLGrange - #mswl for us both if you got it

#Pitmad If I like your pitch, please follow the query instructions at blueridgeagency.com Plus, feel free to query me. #MSWL: Cozy Mysteries, Amish Romance, Historical Romance, Romantic Suspense, Mysteries, Suspense, and Rom Com.

Signing off of #pitmad for the day. I’ve managed to ❤️ a bunch of YA, but I’m also desperately looking for adult. If you have an adult thriller or mystery or something I’ve mentioned on #MSWL please query me. Serial killers. No supernatural. Longer book wishes coming on #MSWL day

#MSWL yes please

OH MY GOD, YES!!!!! #MSWL

This just happened with my step-daughter and I would love a book like this #MSWL

Ditto!! #MSWL

Also, authors, I’ve updated my #MSWL in advance of opening back up to queries in October. I have expanded my genres to include adult SFF and updated my submission guidelines. I’m including the link to make your research life easier. 😊

and because I'm not sure how much time I'll have today to browse the feed, right now I'm especially hungry for: upmarket WF, book club fiction, and truly fresh suspense fiction.
Diverse voices extra welcome.
Not for me: SF/F, paranormal, kids/YA

In fact, I’d just love to see stories from kids in a variety of family structures that WORK. The beauty of a family is that there is no defined shape to a loving support network. Show me! #MSWL

Also I’m certainly not saying parents NEEEEEED to be alive to query me. But if you spent any time in my queries, you’d wonder if there were any other launching points besides major trauma. Kids can be interesting AND come from intact families. Is all I’m saying... #MSWL

Y'all, I'm REALLY craving a cute queer romance graphic novel in my box. Like, FENCE, BLOOM, HEARTSTOPPER, but F/F instead. PLEASE. #mswl

I would love to see more graphic nonfiction for adult readers. #mswl

#MSWL midwestern fantasy + diverse voices

Does anyone write MG or YA without dead parents? With alive, loving parents? With semi-functional families? Anyone? #MSWL

I’d like to see more #YA in my inbox that addresses the opioid crisis. #mswl
