And not to conflate things, I have never stopped looking for Black voices to add to my list of authors. If you write fun, escapist stories for MG or YA, I'm here! Currently hungry for rom-coms and light fantasy, but open to an adventure. elana.me/wish-list #mswl

Seeking: manuscripts from POC, diverse authors, #LGBTQ, #OwnVoices, & all voices that have been silenced but NEED to be heard. I support you & want to share your stories with the world. Querying guidelines & wish list: theseymouragency.com/About-Us.html. #MSWL #WritingCommunity #amquerying

“I’m a biography buff but it needs to have a fresh voice and a new angle, send me your funky takes on biography. I loved SO WE READ ON, a biography of THE GREAT GATSBY.” @maureen_moretti #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

I'm so grateful to @VeronicaForand for letting me know about an RWA snafu! 3 Seas was vetted by RWA in 2001 but somehow we fell off the approved agent list. All is well and we're listed again. We are 100% looking for new romance writers in all genres. Pls send Amish, too! #MSWL

I'm going to bug the #WritingCommunity and #romancelandia again. I'm desperately seeking to represent an author who writes happy, funny, heartfelt books in MG, YA, or Adult. #mswl.

“I read widely in YA, and enjoy just about every genre in it. I love moving contemporary reads, thrilling sci-fi, and lush fantasy.” @ericsmithrocks #MSWL ericsmithrocks.com/mswl

Thinking about how I really want an MG that could comp to THE IRON GIANT.

And I especially want a character like Dean. #mswl

Also let's be real: Margo and Elliot are 4 color, hi-definition. It almost can't be any other way. #MSWL

If you are a graphic novel creator, looking to these #MSWL and thinking how your visual form can breathe life into them is what I want.

And I am linking to this amazing thread that @AngrygirLcomics retweeted this morning because it is gem. twitter.com/reimenayee/sta…

Heavy Metal Knitting seems like it could be such a fun GN #MSWL

And honestly, some of my #MSWL tweets would work beautifully in graphic novel (I think anyways). Like this one:

I tend to love longer graphic novels for MG and YA #MSWL. Some recent faves have been LILY THE THIEF, GO WITH THE FLOW, PRINCE & THE DRESSMAKER, FEATHER, CITY ON THE OTHER SIDE, GHOSTED IN LA, WITCHY.

But you don't have to be an illustrator to give me graphic novels. I also love script only graphic novels #MSWL.

One thing I have noticed about my taste is I read for escape. I lean towards fantasy, or contemporary-elevated (which is not my regular every day).

I'd love to see more upmarket/literary fantasy in my inbox, a la TEN THOUSAND DOORS, UPROOTED, A DARKER SHADE. I'm particularly drawn to books that play with fairytales and folklore, but I'm looking for anything that draws me in w/ great characters and excellent writing. #mswl

This is on my #MSWL but I almost never get it...😭 I’ll look at PB NF too!
