In the mood for a hopeful, uplifting middle grade that will make me cry my eyes out. #mswl

Thrilled to see 2019 already trying to make witches happen. Multigenerational, feminist, family-heavy witch book for YA or MG? Do want! #mswl

Always here for more queer YA! ESPECIALLY bi/pan rep. #mswl

You all know I love fantasy. Looking for things that feel a bit out of the box now. Contemporary fantasy, maybe? YA urban fantasy? An update on Harry Potter? I don’t know; surprise me. #mswl

Fun, flirty, feminist, queer historical fiction! Think A GENTLEMAN’S GUIDE TO VICE & VIRTUE. #mswl

Bring me a YA romance that reads like your favorite fanfic. High-concept premise (fake relationship? Austen retelling? Whatever!), slow burn, Big OTP Energy. #mswl

I'm officially open for queries. #MSWL Christian romance projects only (contemporary, historical, or romantic suspense). Want stellar writing, strong characters, unique plots.

Paste query & 1st 10 pages into body of email to candee.fick (at) anaiahpress (dot) com. @anaiahpress

(That's all for now on #MSWL day, but agents, do email me and I'll send you more info! 📚✏️)

And I'm always looking for stories with perennial themes (love, fears, family) that could pop on holiday promotion, like my darling Dad By My Side #MSWL

In picture books, I'm always hunting for that perfect story that's never been done before but is also fully kid relatable #MSWL

And I know there are other brilliant voices out there who can come up with an amazing unusual narrator in the vein of The One and Only Ivan #MSWL

Always love a good epistolary novel #MSWL

I sometimes work on a lot of serious stuff, so would love to balance it with an adorable, smart meet-cute romance a la Jennifer Smith or Set it Up <3 #MSWL

#MSWL (cont) genre benders, edgy coming of age tales for the millennial audience, untold stories, projects exploring an immigrant's experience in America.... Basically any novel or memoir/NNF project that challenges and expands a limited worldview--I want to see it.

#MSWL I'm on the hunt for wildly entertaining literary fiction, narrative nonfiction, and memoir, esp from underrepresented perspectives. Dying to see non-Eurocentric HF, refreshing romcoms a la #CrazyRichAsians, propulsive toxic female friendship stories--omg the list goes on--

I'd also love to see a MG or YA that makes science and math feel as super cool as it does in The Martian and Lab Girl #MSWL

And please someone write a YA about characters who grapple with an impossible and murky moral decision like the movie "Passengers" #MSWL

I love, love unexpected perspectives on pulled-from-the-headlines situations like Hate List, Boy Toy, The Face on the Milk Carton #MSWL

I studied journalism and will always have a soft spot for it -- I'd love a fascinating and teen-centric narrative journalism story like The 57 Bus, or a celebration of the power of the press like Spotlight #MSWL

I love magical realism that feels full lived-in, like Savvy #MSWL
