I have 118 queries right now, not including things I've requested during pitch contests. Here's a rough breakdown:

7% MG
47% YA
46% Adult

I love adult and YA, but I would REALLY love to see more Middle Grade! #mswl

Me too, please! #MSWL

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

Here's my current #MSWL: naomikrueger.com/about/mswl/

I’d like to find the voice of a modern middle grade Punky Brewster please #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 want to see more super-atmospheric haunted houses & ghosts for MG, YA, & adult.

If I missed your #PitDark pitch, paste query & 1st 5 pages in email. Adult: horror, thriller, SFF, cont. romance, & mystery. YA: thriller, SFF, horror, mystery, & cont. MG: SFF, mystery, cont., & horror. #diversity #MSWL #ownvoices querylynnette (@) theseymouragency (.) com

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

My #MSWL is now live!

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

MG stories that help destigmatize mental illness. #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
