Looking for more #mg or #ya graphic novels that blend genres with dark humor and fiery voice. #MSWL

Seeking: Adult: thrillers, psychological suspense, SFF, contemporary romance, rom-com, & mysteries. YA: thrillers, psychological suspense, SFF, horror, mysteries, historical, & contemporary. MG: SFF, action/adventure, mysteries, contemporary, horror, & humor. #diversity #MSWL

I’m adding something to my #MSWL: MIDDLE GRADE FICTION!!! I’m seeking MG: fantasy, sci-fi, action/adventure, mystery, contemporary, horror, and humor. Send query and 1st 5 pages to: querylynnette (at) theseymouragency (dot) com. #amquerying #amwriting #MiddleGrade

We’ve all seen highly illustrated early readers and chapter books about unlikely friends. Where are the unlikely enemies, in the vein of Tom & Jerry cartoons, with some I WANT MY HAT BACK-level dark humor? #MSWL

Craving a YA book with the humor and high fantasy action and powerful queer energy of Thor Ragnarok today, friends, any recs? (Also #mswl)

Life is messy, and nothing is colored in the lines. It's often in a dark moment that things feel funniest. I like books that capture the messy complexity of life, including how humor crops up. #MSWL

So, time for another #MSWL, in the run-up to tomorrow's #askUpstart session. HUMOR, people! I love books that make me laugh, in every category; PB, CB, MG, YA. Here's a couple reasons why:

"Non-fic that explains big ideas & large concepts in ways that are accessible, fun, and humorous." @ericsmithrocks #MSWL ericsmithrocks.com/mswl/

"Health, Wellness, Humor, Sports, Pop Culture, Pop Science, Pop Psychology." @CurtisPSLA #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

"Essay collections, particularly humor though I’m open to anything that’s really compelling." @ericsmithrocks #MSWL ericsmithrocks.com/mswl/

Submission Call: Mysteries featuring unreliable narrators (but more "Night Film" than "Gone Girl"), scavenger hunt/codes/clue-laden narratives, the same mix of humor/darkness and awesome ladies at work as Killing Eve #MSWL #submissions #mysteries #thrillers #YA

I'd like to see more cozy mysteries in my box, especially if you have a humorous voice & a fresh hook (no knitting, bookstores, etc.). Anyone have a cozy with a LGBTQ couple who solves the mystery? *grabby hands* #MSWL

Can I just have a deadpool-like character in a sci-fi or fantasy? Please? It can be YA! I just need this type of humor in my life. #mswl

Submissions call: Seeking romances that feature gender role reversals, competent and confident heroines, humorous beta heroes, and feminist themes #MSWL

I'm seeking more contemporary and historical lately––with accessible voices, character-driven plot, heart, humor, family/friendship/sibling relationships at the center. #mswl scribblesandwanderlust.wordpress.com/2018/01/01/msw…

#MSWL I am in need of more Middle Grade MG queries in my QueryManager! Send me ridiculous, send me adventure, send me fantasy, send me LGBTQ+ protags and family dynamics, BFFs and boisterous ensembles, stories with purpose, depth, and humor! #querytip #amquerying #amwriting

I'd love to see a novel featuring Sara Paulson's character from Ocean's 8 - a mom with a secret or secret life, with a perfect mix of humor and heart. #MSWL

I would also like to see some heart-achey MG contemporary that doesn’t shy away from big issues. Socially and politically engaged, with humor and joy and hope but also courage and realness and empathy. #MSWL
