Where are my dark and creepy MG novels in my inbox? Come on guys. I need them all. Comp it to CORALINE and I’ll be a happy camper. Dream worlds, carnivals. Make it dark and make it lyrical. #mswl

I also want to read a middle grade fantasy that is as immersive and joyful as Cat Valente's books. #mswl

Last tweet has reminded me of the Note Notebooks I maintained with friends in elementary school that were a sort of shared diary interwoven with ridiculousness (bizarre stories, Weird Qwizzes, general goofiness). The group chat of my youth.On that note, #MSWL for a sincere but funny middle grade novel about kids facing real world stakes who are also just unapologetically little weirdoes.

can someone please write a middle-grade book about an all-girls step team? so many sports books but not one i've seen about stepping. i was briefly on the step team in 7th grade and there's lots of drama to write about! #mswlI want this so much #MSWL

Hey, #amquerying peeps! I really, really, really want MG projects. #OwnVoices and #diversity = bonus! I also really, really, really want some I-cannot-put-this-down thrillers. Send query & 1st 5 pages to: querylynnette (@) theseymouragency (dot) com. #mswl
I want books that are a true pleasure to read – that are a hymn to the power of friendship, family and love; that look at the world with eyes wide-open, but are still big-hearted and optimistic. #MSWL
What I look for in MG, regardless of genre: great storytelling; layered, appealing characters; literary quality writing, matched to a page-turning pace. #MSWL
HUMOR, HUMOR, HUMOR. Smart and funny – I always want this, but especially in a MG novel. #MSWL
Contemporary MG novels with a speculative element, or touch of magic – very much up my alley. #MSWL
MG fantasy or sci-fi that’s gloriously imaginative, and introduces me to a world I want to dive right into. #MSWL
Definitely want to see illustrated MG and novel-GN mash-ups. #MSWL
Time for more #MSWL! In terms of categories, I am really hungry for MG. Stand-alone or series, classic-feeling or not, contemporary or historical, mystery, fantasy, sci-fi, adventure - I’d like to see more MG!

OH another one. I've been watching MasterChef Junior, and if there are any MG books with cooking competitions out there, I'd be all sorts of down for it. #MSWL
Carlisa Cramer @carlisajc · Apr 3
Finally, I'm just always looking for really strong voices and strong friendships in both MG and YA. I want those friendships I can root for. #MSWL
Carlisa Cramer @carlisajc · Apr 3
I'd really love to see a historical fiction MG that provides an #ownvoices perspective on the past. Please please please. #MSWL
