Very specific #MSWL
I’m looking for a MG with the following:
-literary leaning/commercial hook
-strong, authentic voice
-MG age students facing relevant and important challenges
-friendships
-Diversity is a MUST
-boy reader appeal
-magical realism is OK, but NO fantasy, SF, or horror

I'm closed to queries but I'll put this out into the world for when I reopen - in honor of the Barkley Marathon going on currently, which I'm obsessively checking updates on, #MSWL for a MG or YA inspired by the Barkley! Or any other extreme outdoors/survival competition!

Tuesday and I'm thinking a bit about my #mswl

I'm feeling *cosy* at the moment. I want stories that are all vibes and textures. Driftwood, oak floors, cobbled streets. Everything from PBs to NA give me your stories that are curl up in the corner, low stakes, hot coffee.

It has been ages since I read or watched this so I can’t remember. What I do remember is how much I loved it as a kid so absolutely I would love something of a similar vein for mg. #MSWL

I'm still sick with the flu (also currently closed to queries) but I can't miss #MSWL Day !

I represent picture book (illustrator and author-illustrator only), middle grade, young adult, and adult creators.

I'd love to find more layered, contemporary middle grade projects--especially stories that highlight an experience we don't often see on the page, and that have a unique story hook. #MSWL

In the end, my tastes skew more literary on the MG side. I love a tearjerker and I'm always open to novels-in-verse.

I look forward to seeing lots of great new projects in my query inbox!
