For graphic novels both MG and YA, give me your messy, flawed, embarrassing, relatable coming-of-age. Think Roller Girl, Laura Dean Keeps Breaking Up with Me, Invisible Emmie, El Deafo, Stargazing, Check Please.

It’s that time of year when fall submissions start flying, so here’s a little #MSWL thread! Big picture, I’m acquiring MG and YA novels and graphic novels in all genres and am always looking for more underrepresented voices in all categories.

YOUNG ADULT (PT. 2)
Aside from graphic novels, I am still in pursuit of a magical-yet-quiet mermaid novel, so my inbox is a safe cove to any mermaids that would like to swim in. ✨🧜🏼‍♀️
#MSWL

MIDDLE GRADE
I really love finding a good magical MG novel, but I’m open to a wide range here. Voicey contemporaries, mystery, magical realism/contemporary fantasy, graphic novels, historical fiction, verse, epistolary. When in doubt, send it my way! #MSWL

ICYMI: I am opened back up to queries! I’m particularly looking for picture books, middle grade, graphic novels (any age), and adult fiction. Flood my inbox, friends. 💜#MSWL

Check out my #MSWL page for lots more (manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/kris…), and query me here!: querymanager.com/query/kristino…

Graphic “Novel” #MSWL

🍂 realistic teen stories
🍂 graphic memoir
🍂 graphic nonfiction
🍂 psychological horror

Note: I’m currently only looking for projects created by author/illustrators (one creator both writing and illustrating the book).

Is your WIP a middle grade or YA graphic novel? @AnissaDorsey777 wants to see it! #mswl #WritingCommunity #amquerying

Bob's Burgers would make a great comp for a graphic novel, just saying #MSWL twitter.com/SoCalledYALife…

Also I am obsessed with cartoons right now so naturally we are #MSWL from that world in comps: twitter.com/SoCalledYALife…

With #pitmad coming up, here’s a quick snapshot of my #mswl — I’m looking for adult commercial fiction, specifically fantasy, sci-fi, rom-coms, historical romance, paranormal romance and thrillers from BIPOC & LGBTQIA2S+ writers. Also open to graphic novels in the same genres! 📚

I've updated my #mswl and submission guidelines and will be opening to queries again this Monday, 8/23! I am so excited to read more wonderful stories from children's graphic novelists and middle-grade prose authors. 📚💖 jdlit.com/tori-sharp

I'm thrilled to participate in #LatinxPitch on 9/15! I'm especially looking for #GN and #YA novels! I'll add more #mswl themes to this thread! #amquerying #kidlit #BIPOC #Latinx

Please send me YA and adult graphic novels! Would love to see more in my inbox #MSWL

I am really intrigued by the series EXPLAINED on Netflix. Watching the Tattoo episode now and I think this series would make a inspire MG GN NF book series. #MSWL

I would really, really love to see tender, queer, realistic middle grade graphic novel subs in my inbox. Make me clutch my heart and cry, please!!! #mswl

I would love to see a #youngadult #graphicnovel with battling street artists, similar to the movie 8 Mile but with spray cans instead of lyrics! #mswl #YA #GN #Kidlit #amquerying #streetart

High on my #MSWL list:
Contemporary Southern Gothic
Creepy Historical Gothic
Give me haunted manors, haunted woods, haunted histories
Add a dash of magic, even better!!
Fantasy RomCom
More YA urban fantasy
MG adventure and mystery and puzzles to solve
GN for MG and YA

Please send me a graphic novel about a Jewish summer camp!! I promise I will never love anything more!! #mswl

this is an extremely niche #mggn #mswl but i'd actually love a middle grade graphic novel set in philly, centering on a kid in the midst of the spotted lantern fly swell, killing bugs and feeling big feelings about how the whole thing is a metaphor for ~life~
