Publishing is an industry that has always had the power to amplify Black voices and we need to do better. I want to do better. Agents, please keep me in mind when you sign up some these stellar and important voices because I want to hear them.

Publishing is notoriously white, and it's on those of us with our feet in the door to open that door wider for everyone else. So for the month of June, I'm opening myself up to queries from Black children's book writers and artists. Please, DM them my way. #BlackLivesMatterAnd agents, I see so many of you doing the same. Thank you. When you inevitably sign up some of these stellar new voices, please keep me on your submissions lists. #BlackLivesMatter #MSWL

Editors, agents, etc: In my 8 years as a children's librarian, all the books I've seen about police categorize them as "community helpers"; all I've wanted is a book speaking to children for whom that is not their experience.We would love to have a book like this at @LEEandLOW. #MSWL

MIDDLE GRADE
- gentle contemporary romances about queer young people falling in love for the first time

Like many of us in these strange times, I’ve been taking comfort in books. And it’s made me think of the kinds of stories I want to champion.Most of this won’t be a surprise, but for what it’s worth, here’s my current #MSWL:
YOUNG ADULT
- high-concept, darkly comic modern fables with literary writing and crossover appeal like THE PISCES or GEEK LOVE
- eerie and atmospheric fantasies inspired by non-Western mythology
- sweet contemporary rom-coms about QPOC main characters
#MSWL
Editor
YOUNG ADULT
- contemporary stories that take a tongue-in-cheek approach to deconstructing toxic gender norms
- ripped-from-the headlines contemporary novels with literary writing and whipsmart sociopolitical commentary

#mswl ok so I really love the trope of the Plot to Lose Our Virginity because it's such a real pressure many teens feel + is a great setup for hijinx BUT would love to see a version where the protag discovers they're ace & intentionally remains a virgin ("virgin") & embraces it

Something I would love to see is plus-sized protags in graphic novels proposals for children. It's rare to this representation in prose novels but even rarer to see it in visual mediums. #mswl
