YA contemporary! I’m dying for a queer story revolving, especially one revolving around mental health. I want unique concepts and HIGH STAKES and lots of conflict. I tend to be drawn to more melancholy tones in contemporary—but adore humor and light sprinkled throughout!

Meggnog 🎄 ~ Closed to Queries Until 1/6/20 @Megan_Manzano
In the new year, I'll really be on the hunt for contemporary YA and MG! Whether it's romance, growing up, dealing with hard stuff, figuring out friends, I want all of it.#MSWL #amquerying
Think Summer Bird Blue or Starfish by Akemi Dawn Bowman, Ivy Aberdeen's Letter to the World by Ashley Blake, or How To Be Remy Cameron by Julian Winters.

I personally would love to see witches hit it BIG. I'm talking all kinds of witches--brujas, Craft-like goth girls, small-time hedgewitches, Miyazaki-inspired aunties who bake up magical treats--I WANT THEM ALL. twitter.com/laurenspieller…I'm constantly and will forever be looking for witches of all types--mostly contemporary or light fantasy (basically anything grounded in the real work). #MSWL #ForeverMyMSWL

Guys, although I removed it from my #MSWL, I still love reading about cults and secret societies. The genre really doesn't matter: thriller, contemporary, speculative, etc.
Have fun with it, but also please keep sending 🙃

#amquerying writers, I'm going to dedicate time over the holidays to read submissions, so now is a great time to query!I'm eager to find more middle grade, from contemporary standalones & illustrated MG to sweeping adventure & fantasy series. I'd love more YA contemp & grounded YA fantasy or "twist of magic" stories, too. And YA paranormal (I'm here for your vampires & werewolves) #mswl

It's that time of year when I'm really in the mood for cozy mysteries. I'd be really excited to see a contemporary YA or upper MG that has diverse characters, a playful, intriguing hook, and isn't dark or super serious--like Goldie Vance / Scooby Doo / Hallmark level drama. #MSWL
