Lucy's Monday #MSWL: "YA where the protagonist's life is uprooted and they have to move from the big smoke to the country, or vice versa."

If this is true, make it a YA and it's on my #MSWL. facebook.com/vellumandvinyl…

Going underwater for this #MSWL from Lucy "Fantasy romance with mermaids. Beautiful mermaids, hot mermen, and a glittering undersea world."

We'd love to see Native & Muslim Nimonas, Marches, That One Summers in our inbox. #MSWL

For example, we love what @arigonstarr & Theo Tso are doing w/ Super Indian & Captain Paiute respectively. Seeking full-length GNs. #MSWL

We're also actively looking for graphic novels for young readers (MG/YA) starring Native & Muslim characters. #MSWL

<that's also on our #MSWL--MG/YA starring Muslim characters from any culture, and/or Middle Eastern origin (not synonymous).

The numbers for Native American/First Nations are dismal, as well. Our #MSWL includes MG & YA contemporary & SFF by/abt indigenous ppl.

Lucy's #MSWL: Horror with a watery setting. An island, a beach house, a cruise, a lake. The unseen swimming beneath you is terrifying! #Jaws

Contemporary realism is welcome too with those strong hooks. #MSWL

In general, we love MG & YA SFF, mystery & historical fiction that grabs readers & hooks teachers & librarians handing them the books. #MSWL

For illustrators, we'd like to see solid portfolios that show your graphic novel/comic chops in long form. leeandlow.com/writers-illust… #MSWL

For writers, we'd like to see graphic novel scripts. Guidelines here: leeandlow.com/writers-illust… #MSWL

Also, #fuse8 has pointed out the dearth of black boys in MG. Let us see more black boy heroes! #MSWL

Agents looking for #shepersisted mss in MG: send those to us if they're diverse fiction! Authors, write it! #MSWL

Specifics of what we're looking for: MORE MG. Particularly complex diverse MG of all genres w/ literary/curricular connections. #MSWL

We look for both #ownvoices & cross-cultural writers. Sensitivity readers help bridge the non-#ownvoices gap. #mswl

Would love this as a book too. #MSWL

South Asians in #MG and #YA with a good dose of humor, adventure and fantasy. Preferably all in one story. #MSWL

We'd love to see a mystery featuring a wedding or party planner. #MSWL #loveisintheair
