Jumping on the bandwagon to say: I would love to see more fun, upbeat middle grade focusing on siblings, friendship, crushes, and/or that silly joy of tween schemes. Show me failed matchmaking, plotting that got out of hand, the awkwardness of a friend-breakup. #MSWL

History-inspired epic fantasy with intricate, detailed worldbuilding. I'm talking Hannibal's march on Rome, the rise of Shaka Zulu, Sultana Shajar al-Durr of Egypt, etc.

Look to history and give me some new epics! #mswl

#MSWL spooky nonfiction for nerdy goths. twisty-turny true crime. memoir plus research plus context. 90s/2000s nostalgia. goodnight stories for rebel girls of all ages.

Hiya, #MSWL

I'm on the lookout for middle grade nonfiction that specifically explores:

1. Climate change and ecology.
2. American History through the lens of marginalized people.

Bonus points for graphic novels!

#MSWL amazing writers on their musical obsessions. biographies of iconic women. smart writing on bad TV shows. secret histories of feminist heroes. love letters to pop music. cultural critiques from within the culture. the book you can't stop writing.

An upmarket novel featuring a black girl band (or other poc band) or singer, rapper, etc. think ON THE COME UP, but for adults. #MSWL
