Big #MSWL energy for a middle grade caper about neighborhood kids solving a mystery while social distancing, so they can only communicate through windows and tin cans connected by string. REAR WINDOW meets LITTLE RASCALS. Someone write it, I beseech you!

I am steadily catching up on queries, but as a general note, I would love to see more Adult Contemporary Romance and more Middle Grade in my inbox. #MSWL

An epic MG or YA fantasy with lush world building and high stakes. Think WE HUNT THE FLAME. #mswl

MG or YA novels-in-verse #mswl

MG or YA stories featuring found families. #mswl

Monday Morning #MSWL: escapist middle grade!

#MSWL Spooky MG about a wolf pup and a raven

I'd also love more spooky/horror MG. Give me fantastic monsters, nature-based villains (like a forest or swamp), and something weird and twisty. I'll take it in YA too. #mswl

I just finished Rick Riordan's recent Apollo book, and I would love an upper MG or YA or Adult book about Artemis/Diana. If YA or A, I would love this in the vein of Madeline Miller's Circe. MG would be in the vein of a RR Presents novel! #mswl

Oh, and MG and YA graphic novels. #MSWL

Real talk - I would be into something in my inbox for kids or teens that, if not actively advocating for prison abolition, seriously treats it as an option and a pathway. Fiction or nonfiction. MG or YA. #mswl

#MSWL YA or MG with an magical atmospheric setting that almost is like a character

#MSWL I am actively looking for YA or MG horror novels that are campy and full of tropes.

I'd love to see more middle grade fantasy in my inbox! I get a lot of contemporary realistic and sci-fi, but not as much by the way of fantasy. #MSWL

#MSWL middle-grade(?) middle-aged Jewish protagonist with her 7 K-Pop elf boyfriends

Agent friends, For what it's worth, I'm still reviewing submissions from my couch if you're still submitting! On the lookout esp for heartwarming, literary MG novels, particularly contemporary realistic, fantasy, and magical realism. Stay safe and healthy! #mswl

So to remind you all, a #MSWL for me, maybe in #MG with a balance to it, I would love a book that tackles poverty or homelessness.

A few misc #MSWL items

-MG that's spooky and lovely
-YA LatinX RomCom
-Adult thriller with a BIG hook
-Adult space horror

NEW #MSWL: a magical MG mystery a la THE WOLF OF CAPE FEN by @julianalbrandt. The mystery is deeply personal to the character, the worldbuilding is excellent, and the magic serves the mystery plot. It also doesn't hurt that the writing is gorgeous. I want more like this!
