I’ve answered all queries so I’m doing a soft re-open, narrowing down my #MSWL to focus on areas I didn’t receive many queries when I initially opened. I’d 🩷 to see your chapter books, MG: contemporary, MG: nonfiction, MG: novel in verse, YA: contemporary, & YA: novel in verse

I’m open to queries through the 7th!

I am on the hunt for MG and YA mysteries/thrillers, gothic horror, and intricate, inventive fantasy!

I’m especially looking for stories from BIPOC and queer writers.

And, as always, anything that can be described as odd, weird, strange, off-the-wall, or similar for any age group, but particularly MG.

My middle grade taste has a wide range, but the thing that is most important to me across all MG genres is an authentic, relatable voice that is age-appropriate.

MIDDLE GRADE #MG
Voice-driven middle grade with a captivating setting and quirky, lovable characters. In this space, I am open to horror, fantasy, magical realism, mystery, sci fi, historical, paranormal, adventure, contemporary, and nonfiction.

#mswl reminder: I am still on the hunt for standout trans/genderqueer voices, particularly in YA but also MG, from speculative to gorgeously written coming-of-age. My partner is trans/nb, I’m genderfluid, and I will never stop championing genderqueer authors

Before I close on May 9, if you have an adult, YA or MG that is grounded in reality but has a magical or fantasy component, you should send me that. Romance in YA or Adult preferred, but not required. #MSWL

- MG animal fantasy
- YA fantasy/sci-fi (DYSTOPIA)

For #MG think of me for spies! heists! and high stakes adventure. I am looking for standout voice, laugh out loud moments, and irresistible characters. I'd love MG fantasy in my inbox, but it needs to feel fresh and new. And I am interested in younger MG with illustrative potential.
