✨MG/YA MSWL✨

I would love to see work from Indigenous creatives especially in contemporary and speculative projects. Contemporary GNs. Mysteries and thrillers. And overall works that explore growing up whether that be its struggles or not.

Drumroll...🥁 @jsinsheim is open to queries!

If your manuscript is ready and you think it would be a good fit for Jessica's #mswl , view our submission guidelines here: contextlit.com/submissions

MISC:

-I’m looking for illustrated graphic novels in MG and YA (I’m not taking script ONLY atm)
-I am open to the occasional PB with a focus on stories about culture and family or navigating the world through a different lens
-I always have my eye out for more Canadian authors!

MIDDLE GRADE

I’m very selective with MG and am primarily looking for heartfelt, lyrical contemporary right now. I am also open to speculative fiction in MG with a preference for contemporary fantasy—I have a soft spot for quirky or snarky characters/voices in this space.

An updated #MSWL thread!

In general, I’m looking for Adult, YA, & MG fiction. I'm drawn to romance, horror, lower SFF, and genre blending & am always looking for more diverse perspectives. I am NOT right for erotica, non-fic, lit fic, or lower MG/chap books.

Specifics below.

✨Exciting news! I'm open to CB's, MG & YA submissions!✨
*No PB's, sorry.

#MSWL - I'm open to anything, but I'm especially looking for funny, horror & romance. A mashup of the 3 in a YA sub would be perfect.💖
Submissions open 1st-21st of each month.

MG/YA #MSWL :
☑️ Horror
☑️ SFF (especially afro-futurism & magical realism variety)
☑️ Mysteries/Thrillers (would love some chilling psychological thrillers)
☑️ Historicals with a twist (spec, queer, mystery, etc.)
