When are we getting a Big Hero 6 sequel? Also, I’d really love a MG in this vein! Group of misfit kids with skills, banning together to stop the world from being destroyed — all with an adorable robot friend in tow! #mswl

I am on the hunt for a MG or YA graphic novel, ideally by an author-illustrator. Spread the word! #mswl

I'd love to see MG you could comp to Mary Downing Hahn & in general, more middle grade horror of all kinds, including darker MG involving mysteries/puzzles/scavenger hunts.

I’m in the mood for a good heist story. YA or MG. Bonus points if it’s an all women crew. #MSWL

For the record, I’m ALWAYS looking for southern lit across nonfiction, fiction, YA, and middle grades. Always. There is never a time I’m not actively looking for that. #mswl

I am open to select Middle Grade projects - fantasy and contemporary. I want to see really unique characters from backgrounds less-often explored in MG. I definitely want to see LGBTQ+ protags and families, other unexpected family structures, & mental health conversations. #MSWL

Imaginative MG animal fantasy. Avi's POPPY series is one of my evergreen favorites. #mswl

MG stories where the atmosphere/setting act as a key secondary character. THE NIGHT GARDENER and the Serafina series do this masterfully. #mswl

Spooky MG mystery in the vein of JUST SOUTH OF HOME, THE BONE GARDEN and TUNNEL OF BONES. #mswl

Coming-of-age MG stories that tug at your heartstrings but still end on a hopeful note. Think THE ETHAN I WAS BEFORE, THE BRIDGE HOME, and COUNTING BY 7s. #mswl

Lush MG fantasy with compelling, relatable characters and unique worlds. Two of my favorite recent reads are THE STORM RUNNER and GAME OF STARS. #mswl
