Read not one, but TWO middle grades this weekend that are so good they’re immediately going on my #mswl as examples of what I want:

The #LastMapmaker by

In terms of MG, I'm looking for all the above, but would also love to find a novel-in-verse and anything exploring queerness and/or found families for younger readers!

I'd especially love to see trans femme stories across all genres!

All things horror!! Think Jordan Peele and Scream. I want your psychological, your slasher, your haunted house, your ghosts and hauntings. If it fits under the horror umbrella, I want to see it.

As a small sampling of things I love and am on the lookout for:

Genre-benders (think Romantasy, thrillers with a dash of romance, etc)
Speculative with heart (AS King, Adam Silvera, Kacen Callendar)
Thrillers (Isolated settings and beyond)
Sci-Fi (grounded and/or sweeping)

Hi Agents, I'm excited to yell off the rooftops that I'm open to submissions at @Zandoprojects , acquiring a range of MG, YA, and select picture books and graphic novels across all genres! Please feel free to get in touch if you have any questions on the below! #MSWL 🧵

#MSWL for a horror involving paintings that look normal upon first glance but when you peer closer there is something strange about that figure in the background, something otherworldly. . .

Guess what? @anaiahpress is officially re-open to submissions!!

If you're an author, agent, or a top boy who has written a book like Top Boy – or a US equivalent – then please submit it to me. #MSWL

Happy September Eve, agents!

I'm headed into the fall within spitting distance of submissions inbox 0, and I can't wait for you to hit me with your newest and greatest!

Here's what I'm looking for: rachelstark7.wixsite.com/home/general-1

#mswl #mswishlist

#mswl would love to see a historical fiction or historical mystery during the 1880s-1930s. I’ve been watching a lot of Belgravia and The Gilded Age

My bookshelf is 50% character-driven sff/speculative/spooky, 50% realistic contemporary/historical (coming-of-age romance, mystery/thriller, action-adventure, and verse novels), mostly by BIPOC, queer, or traditionally underrepresented folks, & my taste very much reflects that.

#MSWL Agents, I've been seeing some fantastic YA sff subs. I'll never say no to sff that captures my heart, but I'm also on the lookout for gorgeously written verse/prose, layered coming-of-age (historical or contemp) esp if it weaves in queer romance and/or mystery/suspense.

cozy horror bakery #MSWL

Agents, authors, I've been updating my website recently to reflect my role at @DisneyBooks —including by adding an #mswl page! Head on over to check it out: rachelstark7.wixsite.com/home/general-1

(Sadly due to legal blah-blah, I really, *really* can't look at un-agented/unsolicited pitches)

I thought I might try a #MSWL thread with a slightly different spin. Agents, these are a selection of my favourite books of all time, in no particular order, so you can get to know the kind of SFF I love.

What is happening?! Idk just a dream coming true. #mswl updates coming soon!

would love to read a horror submission about the ‘third man effect’ it’s wonderfully creepy and could be really heartfelt too #MSWL

Agents! I am DESPERATE for books that feel like The Summer I Turned Pretty! #mswl

Or maybe what you have is not like anything we've ever seen before - super gay, weird, and innovative with all the seemingly disparate threads somehow coming together & there's just no way I could've known to want something like your bonkers creation. Well! I might want it then.

GN: absurd, funny MG; fantasy/spec like This Was Our Pact; YA like The Prince and the Dressmaker, Laura Dean Keeps Breaking Up..., Genderqueer, Go with the Flow, The Magic Fish, beautiful coming-of-age like This One Summer that lingers w/you but make it all gay gay gay. 5/6
