“Realistic middle grade stories featuring characters with compelling interests, like in The First Rule of Punk by Celia C. Pérez and The Thing About Jellyfish by Ali Benjamin.” @agentvicente  #MSWL mariavicente.com/representation

BookFriends! It's #MSWL time!

From @EmilyKaitlinnn:

"My kingdom for a middle grade with magical, high-stakes world building in the vein of THE OWL HOUSE and YA assassin or spy stories like THE GALLAGHER GIRLS series"

“When it comes to cookbooks, I love unique projects from platformed authors that explore topics that are hard to find in the bookstore, or haven't been explored at all.” @ericsmithrocks #MSWL ericsmithrocks.com/mswl

"Cozy mysteries for younger audiences—I would love to see millennial protagonists, stories with drag queens, boozy brunches, bachelorette parties, all the things!" @claire_m_harris #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

“I want to read geeky and accessible adult commercial fiction. Show me all the cool things the comic con kids grew up to do.” @readbystephanie #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

“A nonfiction submission on social mobility would make my day, particularly if examined through intersectional feminist lenses.” @ceciliaclyra #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

"Compelling historical YA like The Weight of Our Sky by Hanna Alkaf." @agentvicente  #MSWL mariavicente.com/representation

#MSWL time!

From @TracyMarchini:

"I would love to find a middle grade from an ace-spec perspective and/or an author-illo picture book with the aesthetic of CREEPY CARROTS." 🥕

"Non-fiction like Joseph McCormack's BRIEF: MAKE A BIGGER IMPACT BY SAYING LESS." @CurtisPSLA #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

“Fiction I loved (from the past year or two): THE MOST FUN WE EVER HAD, THE GREAT BELIEVERS, FLEISHMAN IS IN TROUBLE, LITTLE FIRES EVERYWHERE, THE LAST ROMANTICS, CHARLOTTE WALSH LIKES TO WIN, COMMONWEALTH, CIRCE, THE GREAT ALONE.” @carlywatters #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

"Sci-fi & fantasy novels. I love them. I read a ton of them. But they have to be accessible. What does that mean? It means that readers who don't traditionally pick up much sci-fi/fantasy, can pick up one of these novels & enjoy it.” @ericsmithrocks #MSWL ericsmithrocks.com/mswl

"If you have a contemporary family drama set in the Midwest (especially in my home state of Wisconsin), please send it my way." @claire_m_harris #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

“If you have How-Tos for beauty and self-care, I’m interested. Think sustainable and eco-friendly, capsule wardrobes and decluttering, etc. Adult and YA welcome.” @readbystephanie #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

"I’m on the hunt for nonfiction that explores the intersection of behavioral economics and gender economics. Proven expertise is a must.” @ceciliaclyra #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

Here's another #MSWL tweet.

From @AgentJessicaA:

"I’d love to find some historical romance to complement my Bridgerton marathon. Something like THE LADY’S GUIDE TO CELESTIAL MECHANICS or THE WISTERIA SOCIETY OF LADY SCOUNDRELS. Bonus points for queer characters."

"Thrillers like WHAT HAVE YOU DONE by Matthew Farrell." @CurtisPSLA #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

“Indigenous food writers! I want to hear from you! We need more books in this space.” @carlywatters #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/
