I feel like I need to clarify what I mean about books that make me happy. I'm NOT looking for books that ARE HAPPY all the way through. That's nuts. Books need conflict and complications and ups and downs. I am looking for books that MAKE ME HAPPY. #MSWL

Querying authors, we're looking for non-fiction books about the intersection of #faith and culture, on #deconstructing and reconstructing faith; asking hard questions about faith. No DMs. See submission guidelines: rachellegardner.com/submissions #MSWL #InspyBooks #WritingCommunity

I have more space for MG on my list than YA. My YA list is really healthy and active. In either case, I'm looking for people who complement it, but don't replicate it. (Does that make sense?)

YA:
- Would love some more big romance with a hook. Smart and swoony. If there's an irreverent quality to it (ala VIOLET MADE OF THORNS), all the better.
- Speculative twists and hooks. Splashes of magic or sci-fi.
- Books that feel like going on a vacation somewhere exciting.

MG:
- I like zany humor and mad-cap adventures. (See TIME VILLAINS and 7TH GRADE V. GALAXY on my list.)
- Epic fantasy is great—but the more original the world the better.
- A sense of FUN and POSSIBILITY and MAGIC (doesn't have to be literal magic, but it doesn't hurt).

Let's talk #MSWL! (Is this still a useful hashtag? I'm so rusty.) When I reopen on 3/1, I'll want...

MG/YA generally:
- I want books that make me happy. I do not want to be depressed.
- Things really need to stand out right now. BIG concepts. BIG feels. BIG twists.

“Picture Books: illustrated stories with literary sensibilities, nonfiction topics (not biographies), cultural traditions/folklore/history.” @agentvicente  #MSWL mariavicente.com/representation

the revenge dress sounds like the title of a page-turning novel.

you decide the genre: romantic comedy? thriller? horror?
