Q2 2/3 A few things on my #MSWL are: a really up-to-date bodyguard story, stories set in amazing and perhaps unexpected locations (think superyachts or the Orient Express...) and a secret baby story where itβs the heroine who gets the surprise! #UKRomChat

Day 34: I have one solitary crisp, white eyebrow hair. Pajamas have fused to my body. I eat pickles for breakfast now.
Agents! I'm looking for manuscripts to boost everyone's spirits! Heart-warming MG! YA fantasy to get lost in! Funny or sweet PBs! #MSWL

Agent friends! Please know that I would love to see more middle grade, young adult, and graphic novel projects from trans women and trans POC #mswl

This pandemic is hitting all of us differently on an emotional level, I know, but it's kind of making me crave stories about people worse off than we are... Does this make me a bad person?
Even so, I'd love to see more apocalyptic survival stories in my submissions box! #mswl

Today is brought to you by the thesaurus, which reminded me of the word "fussbudget." I would like to read a romance novel featuring a fussbudget hero, please. (And, obviously, the person who undoes him.) #mswl

#MSWL Two teens fall in love over the phone. One is addicted to [insert dish] & is so terrified the restaurant will close during the pandemic, they order it every night. The other works for their motherβs restaurant, taking orders & such. Soon their hearts are READY FOR PICK-UP!

Falatkos in every window checking out my new best friend, baby squirrel. pic.twitter.com/KoewwdjL4tBig #MSWL energy for a middle grade caper about neighborhood kids solving a mystery while social distancing, so they can only communicate through windows and tin cans connected by string. REAR WINDOW meets LITTLE RASCALS. Someone write it, I beseech you!

Illustrated/graphic novel style non-fiction is something that I really want to see more of in my inbox!
Cookbooks and food are great, but I would love to see author/illustrator teams work on other topics as well like film, books, nature, science, pop culture, etc. #MSWL

Rhythmic picture books that make for great read aloud. #mswl

An epic MG or YA fantasy with lush world building and high stakes. Think WE HUNT THE FLAME. #mswl

Stories where sibling dynamics are a crucial part of the story. THE LAST TRUE POETS OF THE SEA does this masterfully. #mswl
