Middle grade! I have like...one MG author on my list right now and he's lonely. Voicey but high-concept would be super. Clever. Magic. Adventure. Mystery. Just no grief/sicklit books for me. #mswl #mg

Writers, send me your high concept romcoms! #mswl

In YA, I'm craving a high concept contemporary--that means you can pitch in easily b/c it has a HOOK. I love weird jobs, enemies to lovers, unique living situations, and high stakes. #mswl

Also #MSWL High-concept YA contemporary or historical with easily digested strong hooks (light or dark). Everything from HEIST SOCIETY to SAVE THE DATE to WE WERE LIARS...

Agents of the world! I'm new to my job and I'm thirsty. Send your best commercial fiction subs. Rom coms, horror, horror comedy, high-concept mysteries, YA with diverse characters: I'm here for it all. #mswl

High concept YA/MG fantasy about POCs with gorgeous, literary writing please. #MSWL

In MG & YA, I'm focusing on high-concept contemporary that's sweet, funny, and layered, the kind of book that deals with a couple different kinds of relationship including the MC's feelings about themselves. #MSWL

Also for YA contemporary realistic: high-concept, epic romances—especially anything with extras like compressed timelines and other ambitious narrative risks. Experiment, innovate! Been on my #MSWL forever. Inclusive and intersectional most of all.

I've been having another think about my submission wish list...see photo:

First off, I need high concept. I am not often drawn to the contemporary that could be my everyday life. I need to escape so even if it is a real world setting, it is not my REAL WORLD.

So I guess my point is twofold: a) make sure you're signalling speculative elements right up front in your query, & b) send me more high-concept contemp!! #pubtip #mswl

Would love commercial high concept #MG, written in a literary style, that explores some important emotional competency for the characters (death, loss, catastrophe, violence, race, differences/disability, social justice, growing up, etc) contemp, fantasy, sci-fi, etc. #MSWL

I'd really love to find a high concept, literary middle grade novel, be it realistic or otherwise. Please, universe? #mswl

Plowing through queries & would love more contemporary romance, rom com & SFF! Excited for fun, fresh, high concept projects! #MSWL

High-concept romance that sparks an intense emotional response with big issues that transcend normal romance #MSWL

Over all, I’d love to see more:

-MCs with strong, distinct voices
-comedy across the board
-stories that break my heart and then put it back together
