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!

I need a middle grade like THE MORTIFICATION OF FOVEA MUNSON #MSWL
Carlisa Cramer @carlisajc · Apr 3
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

Middle grade animal (or animal-adjacent...) (light) fantasy, because I still desperately need something to fill the Wild Robot-shaped hole in my heart. 🤖💖 #mswlRe-upping because I am truly desperate to see middle grade animal stories in my inbox! #mswl

This year’s #BCBF2019 is inspiring! I’d love to find more great voice-led fiction, MG or YA, that is funny & warm & brilliant! Contemporary, maybe with a touch of magic. If you’re writing something that fits the bill, please send it my way. Oh, & graphic novels too please! #MSWL
