My DMs are open for AOC and other marginalized authors who have questions about the Christian publishing programs at Harlequin. I'm acquiring for Love Inspired, Love Inspired Suspense, and Love Inspired Trade. You can find my updated #mswl here: bit.ly/2ZFXhkd

For Mystic Owl (City Owl's new imprint) I will be seeking shorter edge-of-your-seat novels involving magic, shifters, or unique paranormal creatures, and fully developed worlds. #MSWL

SOME NEWS! After an S&S restructure, I'm now at McElderry, where I'll still be acquiring YA but will *also* be actively looking to build my MG list!
So agents, please keep me in mind for all your upcoming SFF middle grade! I'm definitely prioritizing that at the moment. #MSWL

So jealous the girl with the green ribbon could take her brain off. pic.twitter.com/aVUkI3krKrThis post reminds me that I need one of you YA authors to write a creepy gothic retelling of the story of green ribbon girl. Maybe a graphic novel?!? #mswl

In speculative fiction, I'm looking more for folklore, magical realism, surrealism, cozy fantasy, light fantasy, and atmospheric fantasy with lush world building and gorgeous prose, than traditional high/ epic fantasy. #MSWL

As a Southern person, working at a Southern publisher, I'd love to find Southern storiesโin everything from contemporary to genre fiction! Particularly BIPOC and/or queer southern stories! #MSWL
Editor
In contemporary, I'd like to find sweet, slice-of-life stories, found family and platonic love (queer friend groups!), and stories with a strong sense of place. #MSWL

Ashley Hearn ๐ท Preorder FOREST OF SOULS (6/23)! @AshleyHearn
I've officially updated my MSWL profile to reflect what I'm looking for at Peachtree Publishing! It's changed a bitโparticularly regarding stories that skew toward the younger end of the YA marketโso take note!manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/ashlโฆ twitter.com/AshleyHearn/stโฆ
I'm especially on the lookout for high-concept stories w/ a standout voice, and strong coming of age themes that speak strongly to teen issues, without those issues defining the plot.
In all submissions, I'm prioritizing inclusive, diverse stories and marginalized voices. #MSWL
