#MSWL I need a book about a little girl who struggles to keep her bonnet on her head as she sleeps...especially if sheโ€™s a wild sleeper. The struggle is real.

#MSWL:
Take a society whose economy, development, and peace are necessarily and realistically built on a foundation of cruelty and injustice.

Some characters fight to right these wrongs. The fall of the old world order visits immense suffering on other oppressed innocents.

Go.

Always always on the hunt for diverse, creative contemporary YA that can capture the humor, heart, and playfulness of anime. ๐Ÿ’–

Bonus if the story involves friends sharing their passions (geeky or not) or has some delicious food. #mswl

I love projects that take big, ambitious swings. They don't always work--or don't always work for me, specifically, as they might for another editor--but I always love reading them all. And finding one that DOES work for me? *chef's kiss* #mswl

Hello! I am on the hunt for a dark, magical YA that has elements of romance but is more largely focused on Some Grand Mystery/Threat, in the vein of Chime or The Witch of Blackbird Pond. Gimme that spooky, transportive grit, especially if itโ€™s from a BIPOC perspective! #MSWL

As much as I love getting YA & MG submissions in my inbox, I'd also love to see more adult nonfiction come my way! I'm always looking for illustrated nonfiction projects, light-hearted narrative projects with a sense of humor & pop culture, pop science & humor submissions. #mswl

Agents! Iโ€™m on the hunt for a #YA #fantasy with a kickass heroine, brilliant worldbuilding, a high stakes plot and a touch of romance. Think SERPENT & DOVE by Shelby Mahurin, SHATTER THE SKY by Rebecca Kim Wells, and A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas. #MSWL

Agents! Iโ€™m dying to find a voice-driven #YA #romcom. The meet cute, the awkward flirty banter, the high emotional stakesโ€”I want them all! Comps: Morgan Matson, Jenny Han, and Sarah Dessen. #MSWL
