Some YA fantasy has been known to go over 100k, but generally we look for less than 90k because usually it's stronger shorter. #MSWL

Generally, middle grade books should be more than 40k words long. YA books should be more than 50k. Over 100k, you should question it. #MSWL

Please also note that we are not interested in anthropomorphic animal stories at this time. We seek *human* diversity. #MSWL

So if you're waiting to hear back on a novel, please be patient. I am still looking for novels, but not as urgently. #MSWL

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
