Also an annual reminder that I’m desperate for more books that celebrate neurodiversity in my query box.

If I’m not making books for kids like him, I’m failing at this job. #MSWL

I know this is super vague but I want to read a young adult manuscript that engages with that weird feeling of nostalgia you get before your life has even really changed. #mswl
