#MSWL Middle Grade Mystery w/a girl protag! Think THE INHERITANCE GAMES but for middle grade (not that exact concept; I’m just giving an example of 🔥-high-concept mystery). Fast plotting. Short chapters. Chapter cliff hangers, pls. Commercial but some emotional nuance too pls!

BRIGADOON meets THE GOOD PLACE #MSWL either YA GN or YA prose.

#MSWL alert! I’m always on the hunt for romance and women’s fiction in general but this illustrates what I’m especially hungry for right now. Thanks to @jmcgowanbks for the graphic! Query me at querymanager.com/KimLionetti

Hey Twitter. Some updates to my #MSWL:

My picture book list is quite full, so I am TEMPORARILY closing to PBs. I remain open to illustrators.

I'm very eager to find: ADULT mystery, crime, domestic suspense and horror/speculative fiction.

Apropos of nothing, I love horror set in space! #MSWL

If you have building-utopia-in-apocalypse stories (although I'd prefer climate apocalypse to zombie), #MSWL.

Anyway, I would love to see a horror book set in space.

#amagenting #mswl

Yes, please. Any of it: hidden staircases, witches trapped at midnight, left shoes tucked away for nefarious (or not) purposes. #mswl

What does an agent mean when they use the #mswl hashtag?

“I’d love to see middle-grade adventure novels. The next female Indiana Jones or a young Lara Croft.” @readbystephanie #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

"Nonfiction proposals with an intersectional feminist angle immediately catch my attention. A few issues I’d like to see examined: occupational segregation, equal pay, and emotional labor." @ceciliaclyra #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

The Secret Life of Walter Mitty (@RedHourBen, 2013) is my favorite movie, and I’d love a book that gives me the same vibes #MSWL
(Yes, I know it’s based on Thurber’s short story but I want a book full or like 50 books full of this film’s mood!)

I am dying...DYING...for an amazing Victorian era/Gilded Age mystery or thriller. Find it for me, universe! #mswl

There was a Doubleday bookstore in the Barbizon Hotel and I desperately want a historical romance (1930s-50s) set there. #mswl

Change of plans! Reopening on April 12 instead. 👀 #mswl coming soon

“YA historical fiction about disco subculture.” @msmariavicente #MSWL mariavicente.com/representation

If you have written a swashbuckling, rip roaring, madcap romp of a MG Fantasy, I want to read it. #mswl

this is begging to be a romcom where she accepts a dare and convinces him to try the goth life for a week instead of him making her 'normal', so that's going on my #MSWL

"Thrillers like WHAT HAVE YOU DONE by Matthew Farrell."  @CurtisPSLA #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

Starting today, I am going to open my query inbox just to illustrators.

In the next several weeks, I will open widely, but I want to consider the fulls and maybes I have first and then create a new #MSWL. Until then, I am currently looking for #kidlitart #illustrators.
