I'm prioritizing graphic novel acquisitions for next little while, to fill out my fall 2018 season. We'll be publishing 1 GN a year. #MSWL

This is not to say that books abt mental illness can't/shouldn't be edgy. But too often old tropes are mistaken for "edgy" w/ MI. #MSWL

Moving on to other books on my #MSWL: actively seeking diverse MG/YA graphic novels right now. Submissions: tubooks.submittable.com/submit/48794

I'm looking for challenging and avoidance of old tropes about mental illness in the fiction we acquire for young readers. #MSWL

On my #mswl: MG & YA fiction that handles mental illness & its intersections in POC & NA communities with kindness & thoughtfulness.

Yes. #mswl.

Editor @joannananamc would love a recent-historical MG narrated by a funny & heartwarming character á la IT AIN'T SO AWFUL, FALAFEL. #MSWL

"A story I will never forget. I want to be an emotional wreck at the end and feel like my life has lost all purpose." @LucySquiggle's #MSWL

Why am I making such a big deal out of this? Because your manuscript will get rejected if it doesn't star a person of color. #MSWL

I appreciate that it's hard for *everyone* to get published. But please read the submission guidelines. #MSWL

White protags are great! And they're 90% of children's books. This is why our mission is so specialized. #MSWL

The list clearly doesn't include "white" for protagonists, but I still get many submissions w/ white protags. #MSWL

In our Submittable form, I clarify that we ask for the race/ethnicity of protagonists due to our mission to publish diverse books. #MSWL

One thing I should note: if I say I'm looking for XYZ kind of book and don't mention it should star a POC, it should still star a POC #MSWL

Full guidelines for our 2016 New Visions Award writing contest are up! #MSWL leeandlow.com/writers-illust…

Our submission guidelines can be found here, by the way: tubooks.submittable.com/submit #MSWL

On my #MSWL right now: graphic novels. I'm actively looking in my submissions pile them in the next few days. Must be diverse, MG or YA.

James from Submissions wants "a SCI-FI that is both dramatic and thrilling. Glue me to my seat and send me into orbit!" #MSWL

I love stories where a girl has to dress up as a boy to join the pirates/army. Maybe on a spaceship? #mswl buff.ly/1owqPvL

Protagonist is a: goblin, dragon, imp, troll, ect. There is unexplored potential here! #mswl buff.ly/1YccPU6
