Finally, the thing I didn't know I wanted. I have found that several times in this past year and it has been absolute delight. My clients' creativity always outpaces my own imagination, and I love to be surprised by a book. If it's middle grade of YA, try me! #MSWL

And middle grade contemporary or realistic -- with or without a twist of magic (a la WHEN YOU REACH ME) -- will always have my heart. #MSWL

I'm eager for fun middle grade series, humorous or not -- but definitely heartfelt. Sweeping worlds, sweeping adventures, kids wrapped up with gods and monsters and magic. Bonus points for fun animal (or magical-creature) sidekick characters! #MSWL

Top of my #MSWL: I am, of course, always one season ahead and already ready for Halloween, so send me your books with spooky, autumn coven and monster vibes, MG or YA. #MSWL

“Middle grade takes on video games (fiction and non-fiction) that go beyond the "fell into the game" trope.” @readbystephanie #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

The Olympics have reminded me. I always want GIRLS in sports. Especially in #MG. #YA okay too. Wacky teams are even better, like "the Breakaways". Maybe the kid isn't "good" but really likes it anyway? Just spitballin'. #mswl

Anyone have any middle grade with LGBTQ+ main characters where coming out isn’t necessarily the point/focus of the story? All genres! #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’ve been in a bit of a reading funk for a while, but I just devoured half of @dakadh’s HIDE AND SEEKER, & y’all! This is what I mean when I say I want scary MG! It is not gently spooky; it is visceral! It’s scary! It’s the book my morbid childhood self would’ve loved! #MSWL

I'm open for queries and updated my website with a new #MSWL, focusing on author-illo board books and chapter books; picture books and middle grade (fiction and non-fiction):

Today is my first day at Penguin Workshop, an imprint of @penguinkids! Agents, please see below for my #MSWL.🥰

As a female engineer I am looking for middle grade, YA and PB about girls in STEM. All genres. Who achieve their goals thru bravery and not necessarily confidence. I want some real models not role models for our young women. #mswl #WritingCommnunity

I always wanted an Disney Princess character in this vein, but I’ll settle for an MG novel ❤️ #MSWL

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

I'd love to see a Jewish summer camp book in the MG or YA space. Cabin rituals, crushes, boy/girlfriends left back at home, hikes, song and dance sessions, dramas... Query me! #mswl
