Literary or fairytale #retellings – but they have to really stand out and bring something new. Bonus for more under-the-radar or lesser-told tales or mashups. #MSWL

Contemporary WITCHES and covens. #YA and #MG, but keep it grounded in this world—think: The Craft or Practical Magic. I'm also on board with other #magicalrealism in styles of Laura Ruby, Anna-Marie McLemore, Emily X.R. Pan, Katrina Leno, Ibi Zoboi's American Street #MSWL

Girls who cause mischief and mayhem! Send me your troublemakers. Unabashedly #feminist POVs encouraged. #MSWL #YA #MG

Groups of teens who work! #YA set among servers, caterers, retail workers, lifeguards, camp counselors – any work. Think #Sweetbitter or Empire Records but a #YA book. #MSWL

In line with the last tweet, please send your manuscripts about groups of friends, and bonus points if it happens over one night or one weekend. Something like a high school gen's The Big Chill energy. #MSWL

I am 100% a realistic, contemporary #YA lover. I want all your rom-coms, your roms *sans* com, your BFF stories—anything with a unique or fun hook and swoons. Bonus points for SUMMER settings. #MSWL

In keeping with #mysteries and twists and adventures, I loved that new Amazon Prime show #TheWilds and would love to see any #YA that would comp to it. @thewildsonprime #MSWL

I've been an Agatha Christie obsessive since my blessed 6th grade teacher gave me "And Then There Were None," so PLEASE send me all your #YA and #MG Agatha-inspired #whodunnits like #trulydevious and the movie #knivesout. #MSWL

To get an idea of what I'm looking for from #amquerying writers, check out this #MSWL thread I'll be updating throughout the day. #YA & #MG #fiction only. To start, I absolutely would love to see submissions by BIPoC and LGBTQ+ authors and writers with disabilities. #mswl

I am ALWAYS seeking #OwnVoices stories by BIPOC and LGBTQ+ authors, non-western settings, and strong voices.

Last but not least...I don’t normally open for science fiction, but I’m really looking for something in the MG or YA space to knock my socks off. I don’t want anything set in space or with ships. I’ll keep my inbox open to this genre open until the end of February.

Thrillers! MG, YA, or adult. I want to sit on the edge of my seat. I want to question the narrator. If you have something like The Flight Attendant or You, then send away.

I’m jonesing for something unique in MG and YA—think lyrical voice or a unique format.

I am a complete sucker for teens who are activists. If you have a MG or YA where the kids engage in their community to invoke change, I’d love to see it.

“I want to see more books across genres about women in science/biology fields. YA, MG, PB, GN, adult, fiction, nonfiction. Send me your titles.” @readbystephanie #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

What's not to love? #WritingCommunity #MSWL

New add to my #MSWL. I'm looking for rom-coms with magical elements or paranormal: witches or nerdy werewolves/shifters come to mind... IOW, something different from what we've seen in paranormal romance in the past + funny & lighthearted. #WritingCommunity #amquerying #amwriting
