@stephlystein Is there anything youโve really yearned for lately in your inbox? #okscbwichatAlways! I'm dying for some deeply emotional MG contemporary, smart MG fantasy/adventure, and a sweeping, EPIC YA romance. More of my recent wishlist items are on the hashtag #MSWL! #okscbwichat

Taking my own advice, I am asking for middle grade that will make me laugh! I've said it before, if you've got the comedic timing of Mitch Hedburg or a particularly funny art style, please send me those funny middle grades! ๐คฃ๐คฃ๐คฃ #MSWL

Soon, my clients will all either be writing or on sub, so I'm hungry to sign a new author. (Yes, I do have a few fulls to read; I'm getting to them!) I'd give my proverbial right arm for a big-hearted middle grade right now. Something a little magical, like HELLO, UNIVERSE. #MSWL

๐ Also related, but I'm a sucker for contemp fantasy too! ๐คธ๐ฝโโ๏ธI'm a kid at heart, and to this day, I am convinced there is magic right around the corner, waiting to take me on the adventure of my life (and defeat some villians who maybe had nice hearts once upon a time) MG. #MSWL

๐ Family means everything to me and I'm a sucker for stories that feature big, multigenerational, immigrant families. ๐ Have a story that has a treasure trove of family history? ๐ซ Bonus points for multilingual households and prose that keeps me up at night. YA or MG. #MSWL

๐ Nowruz mubarak everyone ๐In these times, it's important to find the things that bring you joy. And nothing brings me more joy than getting lost in a new story. #MSWL thread ๐๐ฝ
๐ซ Nowruz/Sale Now ๐ซ has always felt so magical to me. It reminds me of new beginnings, of spring overcoming darkness, of the feeling of change just beyond the horizon.
Have something that captures this feeling? I want it. ๐ Bonus points for humor and romance. YA or MG.

โMiddle Grade: modern-day Sweet Valley Twins series (featuring best friends).โ @msmariavicente #MSWL mariavicente.com/representation

I also love horror horror - YA, middle-grade, even commercial-literary adult fiction. Creepy, cinematic psychological horror with some kind of genre twist or social justice message would be an absolute dream.
Literary Agent
I'd also love some comedy-horror in middle-grade. I don't know what that looks like, but I do know I love ghosts and zombies.
Literary Agent
On the subject of middle-grade, I'm still not seeing enough comedy by women. I continue to wax about it, but @sharnajackson's HIGH RISE MYSTERY is the perfect example of a funny, clever adventure with all the life and representation that I'm looking for.
