1: High-concept contemporary is what’s making my heart sing right now. I recently read SHINE by Jessica Jung and devoured it. That said, hints at the speculative are always special for me. (Focus on hints.)

“Something exploring ability/disability – #OWNVOICES non-fiction or fiction but my taste skews more commercial, not literary.” @carlywatters #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

I'm pulling back on science fiction in the children's/teen space, but would love interesting non-fiction projects about space travel/exploration like THE RIGHT STUFF for kids. For space in fiction, I'd like something like WE DREAM OF SPACE or I LOVE YOU, MICHAEL COLLINS. #mswl

"Non-fic like Jim Collins GOOD TO GREAT, Susan Cain's QUIET & Charles Duhigg's THE POWER OF HABIT.” @CurtisPSLA #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

I finished line editing a client’s gorgeous MS that’s a family saga with a speculative twist, & I feel like I know generations of a whole town’s worth of people so intimately. Please send me more family sagas with speculative twists. I would so love more books like this. #MSWL

Reading The Chicken Sisters and now all I want is more women's fic or rom-com about rival restaurants, especially if LGBTQ+ #MSWL

If I missed your pitch at #pitmad but you’re writing adult speculative in the vein of MIDNIGHT LIBRARY and ADDIE LARUE I want to see it! #mswl

I'd love to see some more #adult projects in my inbox. #speculative, #contemporary, #historical, #romcom--I'm open to almost ANYTHING, but looking for a great hook & great voice. Something that I'll have hard time putting down #mswl #a (still also looking for #MG & #YA)

“Middle grade takes on video games (fiction and non-fiction) that go beyond the "fell into the game" trope.” @readbystephanie #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

I'm on the hunt for a submission on misandry. #MSWL

Open to all categories and formats: essay collection, narrative nonfic, short stories with misandry as a commom theme, etc.

And yes, I've read the brilliant @aPaulineR 's work! 🔥

“YA non-fiction: Memoir, essay collections, you name it. Queer There & Everywhere is probably my favorite YA non-fic title in recent memory, and a great example of what I’d like to see.” @ericsmithrocks #MSWL ericsmithrocks.com/mswl

Competitions! I looooove books with competitions, especially when they're speculative: The Hunger Games, A Gathering of Shadows, Caraval, The Selection. I'm a big fan. #mswl

“Fandom books and other illustrated, geeky/pop culture non-fiction for YA and MG (maybe even PB?) readers.” @readbystephanie #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

I love nonfiction and want to see all the STEAM stories out there, along with projects about little known history/heroes. I would also love a proposal for a MG book about body positivity and self image. #mswl

I’m most actively looking for MG and YA graphic novels by BIPOC creators. I’d love to see contemporary projects or stories with a touch of magic. Would also love to see more nonfiction GNs. #mswl

“In terms of NON-FICTION, I am looking for Psychology, Pop Culture, Science, Business, and Lifestyle from experts in their fields with an original angle. Proven expertise is a must.” @ceciliaclyra #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

"Non-fiction like Matthew Crawford's SHOP CLASS AS SOULCRAFT." @CurtisPSLA #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/
