For MG readers, I’m keen to find a funny, female focused story with series potential (think Louise Rennison or Karen McCombie) and an adventure story for that age group too. I love anything creepy and spooky, so please send anything like that along to me too.

This is true, I would love to find all of these things! #mswl #submissions

#MSWL #PB hi friends! i'm dying for more picture books! i would love...

--projects about incredible historical figures we overlooked bc ~colonialism~

--funny offbeat projects with unique art in the vein of DRAGONS LOVE TACOS, PETRA, THE BAD SEED, etc.

I REALLY REALLY want a YA road trip/girls trip book. Silly, funny, friendship, vibezzz. Unforgettable memories that remain secrets foreverrrr. Please. #mswl

This lovely young lady from Kentucky told me about "The Cornbread Mafia" today, and now all I want is a highly funny romp featuring this WILD group. #MSWL

Wishing I was back at the pool reading this funny, insightful book about what it’s like to own a Downton Abbey-esque home in the 21st century... it was golden and light and immensely enjoyable! #MSWL

#MSWL official! Semi-regular reminder that I am on the hunt for novels that are NOT set in New York, novels that take bold chances with structure and form, funny novels, & novels that turn a thoughtful eye toward sports and athletic achievement. manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/just…

I read DEAR SWEET PEA last week and fell in love—it was the perfect balm for the stress. I would love to see more MG that balances a sweet and funny voice with more serious themes, and any submissions that could be comped to SWEET PEA! #MSWL

Right now, I'm very eager for realistic contemporary fiction in both YA and MG. As I just tweeted, I'd love it if it's funny and queer. Hit a home run if it's by a #BIPOC author. (Sorry for the sports metaphor. I don't even like sports.) #askECLA

Yes! I definitely want YA romance but please make mine funny & queer, too! #askECLA

When I open to queries on 11/1 I really really really would love to find a #middlegrade or #yalit ms that is both Jewish & features Black, Asian or Latinx main characters. #ownvoices for both & bonus points if it hits both funny & poignant notes. Gimme uplifting & joyous! #mswl

This weekend I inhaled NOTHING TO SEE HERE by Kevin Wilson (TY @gracetowery for the rec!). It is SO MY BRAND. If you could comp your MS to it, please send it my way: a funny, dark, character-driven story with a weird twist (in this case, kids who spontaneously combust!). #mswl

I want a YA or Adult Rom-Com that is so cute, funny, and steamy. If yours includes an interracial relationship, I'll be your best friend! And when it comes to love stories, I am especially open to LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC. #MSWL

More middle grade! I tend to love MG novels that have a classic feel to them that will be loved for generations to come or MG with series potential like Percy Jackson! Would love something with puzzles. Funny voices. Literary voices. #MSWL

One of my agent bucket list items is to represent picture books + middle grade with Jewish characters, themes, situations--fiction + nonf. Help me make my mother-in-law proud! Especially interested in Own Voices author-illustrators of PBs and funny contemporary mg here! #mswl

HUMOROUS VOICES! A lot of the contemporary I read and acquire has a witty/ funny narrator, and an author with a gift for humor (see: Cece in @SoniaHartl1's HAVE A LITTLE FAITH IN ME). Please, please send me your funny books! #MSWL

And finally...

5. MG with a Big Hook! I like funny books and magical books and sad books and creepy books. In other words, I'm open to any genre, as long as it has a fun, snappy premise that'll get a kid's attention!
