I'd love a YA Thriller centered around the theme, "Looks can be deceiving." Ensemble cast. #MSWL

#mswl MG or YA NF on "lies" taught in schools (particularly interested in the Civil War, myself. Immigration also a good topic). In honor of James Loewen.

A couple of years might have gone by since this #mswl thread, but I'm still looking for nonfiction projects like these.

Hey y'all! I'm closing to queries at the end of the day today to be fair to all the ones I currently have. I hope to reopen again in the Fall (and if you have an upcoming conference link, that will still work!) #MSWL

YA mystery/suspense:
I want some on both sides of the spectrum: light and dark.

Something in the vein of Sadie, Behind Her Eyes (but YA), and Knives Out. But also something ala On My Block, Outerbanks, or Scooby-Doo, haha.

I love treasure hunts and heists btw!

Diverse, IR romances and romcoms:

I want both MCs to be POC and the relationship to be multi-cultural &/or multi-ethnic pls! IR can exclude WASP ppl.

For this think Someone Great, Lovebirds, Photograph, Talia Hilbert, Jasmine Guillory, Honey Girl

Gothic/Dark Academia:

Think Crimson Peak, Edgar Allen Poe, The Haunting of Bly Manor, Mexican Gothic, Ninth House, Ace of Spades, dark Gossip Girl, & Addams Family!

Give me a heavy atmosphere & aesthetic.

How I would KILL for a BIPOC Yellow Wallpaper x Haunting of Bly Manor

So #writtingcommunity & #amquerying folks, I'll be re-opening to queries September 1st! 👀

That means it's time for an updated #MSWL!!

I'm moving away from fantasy right now and want to see the following from BIPOC writers:

#MSLW I've seen queries before w/ worlds where water is scarce. Would love to see something like this in the YA or even MG space when I reopen to queries. You can always put something like "#MSWL For YA drought-world book" or whatever the MSWL is in the referral space.

Seconding this #MSWL ❤️👀❤️

#mswl Actively looking for historical fiction rich with culture (ie: Egyptian, Asian, Indian). I’m talking stories with strong, progressive girls or women that seemed to been born in the wrong time. Time travel is also absolutely accepted.

Hello, yes I would like #MSWL this one so hard.

A visual #mswl for this fine Friday afternoon. Are you working on something like this? Send it!

“Actively seeking fun / funny gift books, especially with a lifestyle twist to them. Open to a really wide range of topics on this one, so be creative!” @claire_m_harris #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

DIAL A FOR AUNTIES @thewritinghippo is my latest #MSWL obsession! It's the romcom I'd like to rep: dark AND funny; accessible AND intelligent. I also 💜 how it's the story of a dysfunctional family & a trad b-meets-g love story. Please query me if your work is a comp!

Hi #amquerying #amwriting folks!

Just a friendly reminder that I am desperately seeking some more contemporary stories in the adult, YA & MG space.

My detailed #MSWL can be found here: bit.ly/3iZE47U 🖤

I'd especially love a #YA #thriller or #MG #mystery set in #ElYunque rainforest in #PuertoRico #mswl

Excited to find more #MG and #YA stories that represent authentic #Latinx #customs, #traditions, #celebrations, #folklore #mswl
