To any agent who may see this, please please please send me more submissions by Latinx creators. I am always looking for Latinx middle grade, YA, and graphic novels. #MSWL here 😉manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/caro…

A League of Their Own + LGBTQA + esport competitions = a fun, spunky contemporary YA that I would really like to read. #MSWL

I am asked about this often, and I really wish there were dozens, nay, hundreds of great kids'/middle grade/YA books dealing with transracial adoption *written by transracial adoptees*. Adopted kids need a whole lot more rep than they've got.This is on my #MSWL. Would love to acquire a book like this.

One day I’ll write about a pragmatic, ordinary small-town girl who accidentally ends up as manager/den mother to a group of emotionally defunct superheroes who can barely save anyone, and how her earthy determination, relentless optimism, and pecan pies save them (and the world).This but a MG/YA graphic novel!!! Make my year and land it in my inbox please? 😍 #MSWL
