Binge-watching Ultimate Beastmaster and reading Wings of Fire has stoked my appetite for action-packed middle grade where kids/creatures compete in an arena or some kind of epic contest.

Does anyone have a manuscript matching this description? 🤔#MSWL

Thinking of how much of my grandmother was the matriarch of my family, I’d love to see a sweet/funny middle grade novel (any genre) with a substantial grandparent-grandchild dynamic!

#mswl BIPOC mythology! I don't know half as much as I should and I want stories that show me your glorious culture, your timeless stories, and your characters in all their facets. Bonus if it's gay (although strikes me all mythology should be gay!!)
