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

In film and media I want to see short men with tall women. I want intertrans love. I want dark skinned women with white/light skinned men. I want Asian men with white women. I want thin men with fat women. I want to see able bodied with disabled. Tired of dating stereotypes. ❤️Yes, this! 👇 For books too! #MSWL

If your project connects with any of these topics, I hope your agent will consider submitting it to me this year! And yes, I’m only open to agented submissions, or submissions from attendees of conferences that I’m visiting.)

HAPPY 2020 Y’ALL!
For agents and conference attendees I will meet with this year (@kwelijournal @scbwisf), I put together my rough #MSWL for the year. These aren’t the only things I want, just projects I’m particularly hungry for....
