Just putting this out there: Beautifully-written, well-researched, and expansive adult fiction that straddles the line between commercial and literary. A recent example is Madeline Miller’s CIRCE, but Barbara Kingsolver’s THE POISONWOOD BIBLE is a tried-and-true favorite. #MSWL

Middle grade contemporary fantasy. #mswl

Late to the #MSWL party today because of...you know...authors, proposals, queries. I'm looking for something unique, something that makes me swoon, giggle, hold my breath. All the feels.

Just thought of one more - YA - The Phone Booth (Yes, that 2002 thriller) but instead of a phone booth the MC gets a text and is dragged into this world murder and mayhem in the ultimate game of cat and mouse #MSWL

Extremely same! #MSWL

I'd love to see more #ownvoices Nonfiction . Please Query me. #MSWL

#mswl Still need in my life!

I’m admittedly a gringa, but I grew up in Houston, TX with Latinx influences woven thru every part of life. I’d love to see the work of more Latinx creators—across all kids/YA categories & niches—in my inbox, b/c I want readers to be able to find more of it on bookshelves. #MSWL

Still looking for!! #mswl 😄

Um, yes. Generation ships gone awry. #MSWL

Oooh yes please #MSWL

Biological warfare in a fantasy could be cool. #MSWL

#mswl 😍😈

#MSWL send me your timeless books for middle grade readers that will encourage kids to get off their screens, appreciate the natural world and have real social interactions. (Although a great text message exchange in a book is also fun if it feels real!)

This is so creepy. I want It. #MSWL

hit me up with your very smartest feminist retellings, your structurally fearless literary fiction, and anything you’d comp to the brilliant Sarah Waters, Lesley Nneka Arimah, Curtis Sittenfeld, or Carmen Maria Machado! #MSWL

I’d love to read your LGBTQ romance starring thoughtful humans who are great at their jobs, your rich & delicious historical fiction, and your epistolary novels anywhere along the literary/commercial spectrum. #MSWL

One evergreen reminder about #MSWL is that even though it’s a great tool for agents and queriers, you don’t have to force fit your project into our requests. It’s great if you do have something that matches, but it’s okay if it doesn’t. Just stay true to what you wrote!

This might be the last one, but I really want stories about plus-size girls. We don't have enough with body-positive views. #MSWL

In non-fiction, I want to see more:
> Allergy sensitive cook books
> Analytical essays on pop culture (think Anne Helen Peterson)
> HOW-TOs for digital work for home nomads
> Well-being women’s health and reproduction topics
> Societal analysis with bold hooks
