If you saw this and thought "this would make a great dystopian novel" then you better get cracking. I guarantee someone will have this done before the end of the year.theverge.com/2022/2/16/2293…
I think this is making me want a MG Stepford SERIES all the more. . . . But I need a really good twist. Surprise me. #MSWL

"Laziness is more than the absence or avoidance of work; it’s also the enjoyment of lazing in the sun, or in another’s arms," writes Elliot Kukla, a rabbi who provides spiritual care to people who are grieving, dying, ill or disabled. nyti.ms/3GgtBgH“Shh, Abba,” he says. “Hills don’t move or talk . . . they just lie still and grow things.”
This. This is #MSWL. Give me a lazy book, that doesn’t demand hard work or trying. Give me a book about how it’s okay to take breaks.

So, agents and authors, I am closing to submissions on March 1 to allow time to review everything before I go on leave. If you have plans to query me, please get your submission in and direct your query to me (@fluxbooks or @jollyfishpress) before the deadline.(2/5)
As far as my #mswl goes, right now I’m looking for mostly character-driven YA with a killer voice featuring one or more of these things:
-intersectional feminist and environmentally conscious themes
-activism
-LGBTQIA+ characters (esp. trans, bisexual, and asexual youth)

There are some exciting #YA titles on my desk at @vulpine_press! I'm building a list of quality #YAlit with well-realized worlds and complex characters. If there's a pinch of magic, all the better! #MSWL #amquerying #amwriting #WritingCommunity vulpine-press.com/submissions-1
