Taking my own advice, I am asking for middle grade that will make me laugh! I've said it before, if you've got the comedic timing of Mitch Hedburg or a particularly funny art style, please send me those funny middle grades! 🤣🤣🤣 #MSWL
Karen Chaplin @CapChapReads · Mar 23
Agents, please send me some "happy" MG and YA. Funny school stories maybe? And all YA Rom-Coms welcome! #MSWL

YA / crossover is the big one, and there I'm looking for new takes on big commercial / genre, as well as funny, uplifting, voice-led novels, and (always) teen books full of sex, politics and content that teenagers actually want to read but that gatekeepers are sh*t scared of...
Rachel Mann @rachelphilippa · Mar 13
On the subject of middle-grade, I'm still not seeing enough comedy by women. I continue to wax about it, but @sharnajackson's HIGH RISE MYSTERY is the perfect example of a funny, clever adventure with all the life and representation that I'm looking for.
Rachel Mann @rachelphilippa · Mar 13
I would so love for these stories to be funny, silly, celebratory - in all possible genres (but especially comedy or horror, FYI) and up and down the age-ranges, but especially middle-grade.

I'm keen to escape into fun and funny stories at the moment. If you're writing a funny MG or a joyful MG adventure (including graphic novels), get in touch! #mswl

I read a friend's script today that made me LOL so hard I actually had to stop reading for a second to recover and this made me realize I need more comedy in my life.
Send me your funny manuscripts.
#MSWL
Specifically I'm look for funny thrillers, mysteries, & romance. Adult & YA

If this is you and you are writing funny, magical, adventure or detective MG stories pleeease send in!

Getting some traction for an old #mswl tweet so thought I should update with what I am actively looking for RIGHT NOW: Crime and psychological thrillers with a very, very, very clear hook, and wonderful MG - warm, funny, contemporary, magical - anything with a great voice!

In light of the continuing clusterf*ck in the book world, popping up on your feed to casually mention1) I'm one of the handful of QWOC editors at a Big 5
2) I'm in a buying mood for more SF/F/H for adult YA & MG
3) My list is majority queer and POC authors. And I'd love more.
I have some #MSWL asks floating that I'd love to see:
For young adult:
M. T. Anderson's Feed for the post-Instagram, post-TikTok generation
a YA version of The Wire (but with more funny bits and maybe an explosion or two).
a modern queer version of Ten Things I Hate about You

I am so excited to announce that I am now representing adult and crossover sci-fi, fantasy, and horror! MG & YA will continue to be a large part of my list (and I'm always looking for more!), but now I'm also actively pursuing and selling genre projects in the adult space.So what am I looking for? I want explosive, colorful, funny, bizarre, exciting stories that examine technology, identity, and human relationships of all kinds. As in kidlit, I’m eager for vital, personal, and poignant stories in the #adult sf/f and horror genres. #MSWL

Are you ready for the sweetest, funniest, queerest, most Jewish winter wonderland of a romcom?! Then watch out for @BlumAgainCurios, who I am BEYOND thrilled to represent!!! twitter.com/blumagaincurio…Mazel tov! Also, I’m very very VERY jealous. So: #mswl for a sweet, funny, queer, Jewish romcom, please and thank you! (We just can’t have too many of these, in my opinion...)

Good morning! I added a few more genres to my #MSWL through the StringerLit query form. Would love some humor/satire/offbeat/quirky (we need that in the world!) and I added thrillers, upmarket. Send me your funny PB and more MG/YA. stringerlit.com
