I'm looking for contemporary and light fantasy MG and YA fiction + the select picture book, with a focus on character-driven marginalized stories that center around joy and hope.🧵

Agents, I’m on the hunt for a Christmasy holiday picture book but think family/cozy and less Santa. Note: no unsolicited manuscripts please; agented submissions only #kidlit #MSWL

#MSWL times a billion, my guys.

Since @shaherazadshelf is opening to unsolicited submissions next week, Heather and I are really looking forward to fantasy, dystopian, and romance in nearly all genres.

To read Heather's MSWL, check her pinned @inkbyomari and you can find my MSWL here: manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/samiha-hoque/

Really excited to share that I've been promoted to senior editor at @WorkshopBooks ! I've worked on so many INCREDIBLE books these past few years and can't wait for the amazing stories ahead.

New #MSWL soon!

Oh, hey there! Editor @HCI_Books here. #agents and #writers send me your proposals for books that connect food-body-environment. Or maybe just body-environment. Or maybe just body-exercise. Loving these topics right now! #nonfiction #MSWl #publishing #gimme #writingcommmunity

#MSWL A character dealing with the 5 stages of grief, but as a secondary theme (is not the main story of the book, but plays a major role in the conclusion of the story)

More of this rollercoaster sibling energy in middle grade submissions, PLEASE! #mswl
