Interested in middle grade novel manuscripts about a brutally violent uprising of ruthless twelve year olds who hunt down every crusty old columnist who has a hot take on the outcome of a spelling bee. #mswl

I want a MG that is totally like Disney Pixar's ONWARD. #MSWL

Light-hearted coming of age MG fantasy. Includes strong relationship themes and silly humor. #mswl

In the Middle-Ages it was believed that if a witch got hold of a child’s discarded teeth the child could fall under the witch’s control.So paying the Tooth Fairy to safely dispose of teeth is a bit like paying to have confidential documents shredded.

Hello! I remain excited to sign up new MG & YA authors in 2019! I love anything from quiet middle grade standalones to high concept YA series, and everything in-between, so if you're querying MG or YA, please consider sending my way! A thread with some specific #mswl items... pic.twitter.com/03jRxuVVlzThis is still true! If you're querying a middle grade or YA, I hope you will consider sending your submission my way -- I can't wait to read and I'm excited to find some projects to work on over the summer! #mswl

My work life has been so much better since I convinced the university facilities managers to set my office’s thermostat several degrees higher than the rest of the department twitter.com/taylorlorenz/s…Interesting!

I'm intrigued by the e-sports world now that I have two close friends who work in it. I'd love to see any YA or kids books, fiction or nonfiction, related to e-sports in my query inbox. Deep knowledge of e-sports phenomenon required #mswlA book featuring e-sports would be so cool! I’d also love a MG book about table top games for my fellow D&D or Magic fans! #mswl

6a. Side note: did anyone see the story of the girl whose homemade slime business (that she was running out of the bathroom) got shut down by the administration? THAT is the kind of #MG version of this that would be epic. #MSWL
Natascha Morris @SoCalledYALife · 21 May 2019
6. I want a book that challenges the patriarchy or even the authority. Books like SUGGESTED READING by Dave Connis or THE BIRDS, THE BEES, AND YOU AND ME by Olivia Hinebaugh. Books about kids seeing how stupid adults & the rules are and they find ways to fight back. #MSWL #YA #MG
Penny Moore @literarypenny · 21 May 2019
I know this is specific but I’d love a contemporary MG or YA where the MC has to wear a back brace bc they have scoliosis, kyphosis, or scoliokyphosis, and has to deal with all the complications it inflicts on socializing and fitting in. This was me growing up. #MSWL
Mandy Hubbard @MandyHubbard · 17 May 2019
