-More nonfiction in MG and YA, esp science, art, history, etc. NF graphic novels are great here too.

-I'd love to see more mysteries, in MG, YA, and adult. I'm really into Veronica Speedwell and Veronica Mars.

-More intergenerational stories in MG, YA, and SFF. #MSWL

-More graphic novels, especially queer OGNs. I grew up reading Calvin and Hobbes and Amar Chitra Catha, but I got back into comics through queer stories.
I <3 Steven Universe, She-Ra, THE PRINCE & THE DRESSMAKER, NIMONA, LAURA DEAN KEEPS BREAKING UP WITH ME, & many others #MSWL

-More underrepresented creators, esp creators of color and disabled creators, telling #ownvoices and stories from the margins that need to be shared. #MSWL

-More stories that show the range of experiences of black and brown people, especially in MG and YA.

To celebrate my promotion, I'm updating my #MSWL:

-more queer stories, especially those outside the femme/masc duality. Butch/butch romances! More trans and non-binary characters! Queerness not as a conflict! Not just white queers!

“Give me literary fiction that genre blends, and commercial fiction that takes me somewhere unknown. It helps if you can break my heart in the process.” @ericsmithrocks #MSWL ericsmithrocks.com/mswl

I'd love to see books in MG, YA, Adult with WITCHES.
✔POC voices
✔LGBTQIA+

All a plus! #MSWL

I’m also really hungry for science and math non-fiction in middle grade and YA. My picture book list is really strong in NF these days and I want older kids to be inspired by math and science, too! #mswl

I am really hungry for some non-fiction middle grade and YA in my queries and for the right topic (pop culture, feminism, theater/music/dance), I’m open to adult non-fiction projects. For ex: I’m an avid fan of @EggcellentPod, @WestWingWeekly, @GilmoreGuysShow, and #Cheer. #mswl

Please give me a MG with a sibling relationship like this #MSWL

"An upmarket fiction piece about a woman with a cool outdoorsy or animal-related job (think STEM)." @readbystephanie #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

If you write this, PLEASE send it to me #mswl

A book set just before and during a situation like this would be amazing. Exploring the upending of an established landscape as both catastrophe and renewal through some human stories would be entirely my jam. #MSWL

"I particularly enjoy nonfiction books in the following categories: pop culture, science, design, and lifestyle.” @msmariavicente mariavicente.com/representation #MSWL

The Mongoose is a Gemini and one of my sisters is a Virgo. (Please, #mswl, someone write me the dithering, fretful, secretly furious female serial killer that my Virgo sister might be.)

I want a sappy, feel-good romance like RETURN TO ME but YA! #mswl

My turn on the @bookendslit #MSWL train! When I reopen to queries I want all the kidlit: graphic novels and all your LGBT narratives from PB through YA! Swoon worthy rom coms and heartbreaking stories all welcome.

I'm next in line on the @bookendslit #MSWL train chuggin' along 🚂 I'd love to find a novel in the vein of NATALIE TAN'S BOOK OF LUCK AND FORTUNE where food, community, and culture intertwine. Also, I'm a fan of AYESHA AT LAST, so a fresh retelling like this might catch my eye!

In the @bookendslit #MSWL doggie pile! I want more graphic novels! I just read LILY THE THIEF and it was so good and I need more.
