My actual ultimate #MSWL is a YA fictionalized story of Amanda Nunes and Nina Ansaroff—two female world class MMA fighters who meet and fall in love and become the sport’s #couplegoals.

All right, I’m putting my stake in the ground. I want your #own #poc YA protest meet-cutes. I want them all. #MSWL

“Middle Grade: a protagonist with immigrant parents, an animal story (NOT talking animals), anything with an environmental theme, inventive chapter book series.” @msmariavicente #MSWL mariavicente.com/representation

Writers, SEND ME THIS NOVEL! #MSWL

But, uh, #MSWL

If you are querying a MG or YA graphic novel, especially if you are an author-illustrator, I'd love to see it. #PitMad #BVM #MSWL

So much #mswl

#MSWL

"Crime fiction like Ian Rankin, Chevy Stevens, Patricia Cornwell, & Lee Child." @CurtisPSLA #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

Reading submissions this morning to the charming soundtrack of @dadimakesmusic 🎶

Wants: realism, love, happiness, comedy, danger, the world as a bigger place, hope
Do not want: death, grief, boring character journeys, boring characters, stories I have heard before #MSWL

Couldn't agree more, @nytimesbooks:

CATHERINE HOUSE, by @lissiethomas is a terrific read, gorgeously written, full of mystery and intrigue. I ignored my family and read it cover to cover. Could not put it down!

(P.S. I'd love to find a project like it in my #query box. #MSWL) twitter.com/lissiethomas/s…

And yes #PitMad #MSWL #WritingCommunity if you are querying me about #NF I'm looking for #popculture #Science #Space & #HA as well. Don't forget to include your proposal along with your query to my attn dca@doncongdon.com

“With non-fiction I want to learn something by accident, tell me a good story in a fun new way that keeps me thinking. I really enjoyed Carlo Rovelli’s SIX BRIEF LESSONS ON PHYSICS.” @maureen_moretti #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

#MSWL please keep these great submissions coming from Black children’s book writers! I’m also interested in author-illustrators with existing picture book dummies. #BlackVoices find me through the Stimola website through the submission form. 🖤

Looking for both YA and adult contemporary stories of #ownvoices and #POC. Raw, honest voices. Real emotions, with a commercial hook. Please query me. I am always, always on the hunt for great storytellers. #MSWL

“YA non-fiction: Memoir, essay collections, you name it. Queer There & Everywhere is probably my favorite YA non-fic title in recent memory, and a great example of what I’d like to see.” @ericsmithrocks #MSWL ericsmithrocks.com/mswl
