One of my summer goals was to make a website, and I finally did it: carolinaiortiz.com! Check out my deal announcements and updated #mswl 🧐 And agents, if it's been a while since we've chatted, I'm always happy to reconnect, as well as meet new agents 👀

My #MSWL went live today! Feel free to check it out at manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/whit… if you're curious about more things that I'm interested in seeing for graphic novel pitches!

Alix E. Harrow @AlixEHarrow

twitter i have a hunger for: battle couples.

don't care about the genre (sff, romance, crime, whatever) or the gender, just really want to read about two people exchanging a last, heated glance before spinning back to back to face down insurmountable odds

Make it SFF & send my way!! #MSWL

Thao Le @AgentThao

I love it even more when these two characters fall in love with one another... #mswl twitter.com/allisonhsaft/s…

Same. #MSWL (see thread) (Agented only)

John Cusick is just this guy you know @johnmcusick

I like friends to lovers and enemies to lovers, but what about lovers to arch rivals engaged in an epic battle for dominance?

#MSWL Would really like to see some LGBTQ+ contemporary YA in my inbox when I’m back from vacation, so, agents, if you’ve got something you think I’d enjoy, please send it over! I love complex characters, and deep, emotional stories. Hooky concept + voice, please!

Random House Graphic @RHKidsGraphic

This weeks #EditorialTues (with @WhitLeopard) answers one question that we've gotten a few times now: Do you need an agent to pitch to RHG? No, you don't. BUT: make sure you understand what we publish and what we need in a pitch. (See previous #EditorialTues editions.)

Replying to @kbeilz

I made an #MSWL but it's still waiting to be approved but it should be up soon-ish! Agent question is answered here: twitter.com/RHKidsGraphic/…

Sharon Pelletier @sharongracepjs

#MSWL: SUPER thirsty for juicy, smart, book club fiction like ASK AGAIN YES, THE VANISHING HALF, SUCH A FUN AGE

YES elements: multi-generation, sibling stories, career-oriented women, sense of humor, reinterpreting classic or myth through an unsung character’s POV

Ooooh yes, please. #MSWL (Agented only, so definitely send to @sharongracepjs, and then if you get signed, ask for me to be on the sub list! 🙂)

Here's something I haven't seen in my submissions: a frothy, compulsively readable YA that is enthusiastically & unapologetically socialist. Like, what would RED WHITE & ROYAL BLUE or THE PRINCESS DIARIES look like if they glamorized equality/working class interests? HMU, #MSWL

Julia P. McCarthy @thejumbles

Give me books that read like the perfect autumnal day. I want my chilled hands around a steaming cup of mulled cider.

#mswl !!! Autumn is HERE and my power is GROWING

Karen Strong @KarenMusings

I truly don't want to hear any more from publishers when they say Black characters are not relatable because it's a flat out lie. I rebuke this.

GIVE ME ALL THE BLACK CHARACTERS! #MSWL

POC

· 28 Aug 2020

Really in the mood for something gothic as hell, full of rot and ruin, a slow-burn romance, twists and turns, and BIPOC protagonists. #MSWL

Hi! I’m putting it out into the universe that I‘d love to acquire more middle grade novels! I want to find strong personalities and big hearts, stories about finding confidence and discovering friendship, magical stories, contemporary tales, amplifying marginalized voices. #MSWL

· 25 Aug 2020

Updated my #MSWL page! This fall (HOW IS IT ALREADY FALL!!) I'm especially looking for (agented) sharply funny fiction, heartfelt contemporary YA, and diverse thrillers & suspense.

So I've mentioned to a few people how lately instead of looking for escapism I gravitate more than ever toward books about loss & grief & suffering, in my need to feel less alone with the emotions. In thinking what this means for my worklife and my #mswl --

kathedrals @kathryniveyy

Why is "the chosen one" always a teenager? We're really gonna put the fate of the universe on someone with an undeveloped prefrontal cortex? Give me a story with a chosen one who is a 42 year old mom that has already seen some shit and is totally out of fucks to give

as many others have no doubt said, 1000% #mswl
