Humor
#mswl - a sweeping middle grade series with heart and humor! Related, but more specifically: a middle grade series with puzzle-y elements. And, always, middle grade with magic, especially cozy magic!
Some more #nonfiction interests: millennials issues (don't send me books on how we've destroyed things for babyboomers, I honestly don't care), astrology, spirituality not connected to a specific religion, old theaters (I love these), 90's music, anything humor related #MSWL
My #MSWL profile is up, just in time for my #amquerying inbox to open on March 1. Check it out, #writersofcolor! manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/leon…

Me reading a query that promises a YA thriller, blending humor and horror, from a POC, and comps brand new media, and shows engagement with the convo within contemporary teen lit. #MSWL

For #contemporary #YA, smart, humorous, introspective first person is more likely to draw me in, but I can fall in love with a sweet, dreamy voice, too. My tolerance for sap and cliche is pretty low, so be very careful with those. #MSWL

#MSWL We're also actively seeking books for our Teen line. We love contemporary, whether it's humorous or on the darker, edgier side. Bonus points if it has a strong romantic subplot!

#MSWL We're actively looking for books for our Teen Crush line with a lot of chemistry and humor. We love tropes like enemies to lovers, best friends to lovers, opposites attract, and mistaken identity.

Correction #2: Middle Grade: Humor--if you can make me laugh, I'll sign you up. Literary: I've never had a Newbery-winning client and I want one. Adventure stories, grounded fantasy (but not epic fantasy), sci-fi. #ownvoices for sure. Artists, MG graphic novels! #MSWL

Reading manuscripts and submissions on the hunt for new clients for the new year. What am I seeking in 2019? FUN stories! Humor, escapades, gasp-inducing moments... Entertain me! #mswl

YA: Much the same as MG--humor, realistic teen stories, #ownvoices, adventure, sci-fi. Also, love a good teen romance, horror, mystery, but not super-dark.
Children's NF at all levels: curriculum tie-ins, PB bios, multicultural history, science, sports, pop culture.
