This is an evergreen tweet. #mswl

“But I don't want comfort. I want God, I want poetry, I want real danger, I want freedom, I want goodness. I want sin.” Aldous Huxley just about sums up my #MSWL this week. Send me your beautiful, challenging #YA fiction at vulpine-press.com/submissions-1

More of this energy in my picture book submissions please please please! Image from Off-Limits by Helen Yoon, an absolutely delightful picture book you will want to read five times in a row 🖇 #mswl

Updating my acquisitions list on my #MSWL page and still on my streak of acquiring predominantly enby and women writers.

These, but books #MSWL

Although, fwiw, that’s a #MSWL for me right there

The pitch: YA mystery anthology narrated by the witnesses/suspects written by all different authors in different styles. BLACKOUT meets “The Afterparty.” #MSWL

I'm looking for a sizzling hot UF or paranormal that's 75K or under. Bonus points if it has two or more types of paranormals. If you have one, please send it my way! #MSWL

“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.

Also, my amazing and talented colleagues at Flux and Jolly Fish Press will, of course, remain open to submissions, so please don’t stress if you’re not quite ready by March 1. Happy writing, all!

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)
(3/5)

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

Agents! I’m excited to talk to you. I love contemporary stories of all kinds with characters that jump off the page. While I’ll look at (almost) everything, I’m especially leaning into MG and YA. Let’s chat! #mswl

THIS!

These are the books I want. #MSWL

From Train to Busan to Anna and the Apocalypse, I was reminded again today how much I love zombie apocalypse stories! Send me your YAs and MGs zombie adventures, horrors, and hijinks, starring BIPOC characters please #mswl🙏🏼

As an acquiring editor and a huge food nerd, I’m looking for cookbook proposals from authors with an established platform! #mswl Recipe writers/testers or literary agents with lifestyle/nonfiction authors, take note 🤞🏼

I've also always loved the breaking down nostalgia and the journey of pushing back and breaking out of Pleasantville and The Truman Show. I'd love those themes in a series, too. #MSWL

#MSWL tonight - psychologically creepy MG. Give me Stepford or Get Out or Us in middle grade form. Creep me out like Coraline.

#MSWL I’m mainly looking for speculative fiction and science fiction stories. 👉 We also publish romance, fantasy, and suspense/thrillers.

We are accepting manuscript submissions.
