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

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!

Adult historical fantasy (show me a location or pivotal moment in history I've never seen in SFF)
Contemporary YA (show me how powerful& combustible teenage relationships are)
Middle grade sci fi, contemporary, or fantasy (I'm pretty wide open; nothing is off the table!) #mswl

Hopeful contemporary MG that brims with heart. Think SONG FOR A WHALE. #mswl
Editor
Voicey MG fantasy with series potential. Think ARU SHAH or THE KIRANMALA AND THE KINGDOM BEYOND series. #mswl

Idk if #MSWLMonday is a thing, but as long as we’re all on lock down, I’ve decided I’m going to throw a few #MSWL items out into the universe every week. I can’t take unagented submissions, but agent friends, here’s a few things I’d love to see in my inbox right now:A MG with Sandlot vibes. I’m missing baseball so hardcore right now. ⚾️ #mswl

I'm a huge fan of fairy tales but I've not come across a lot of these featuring marginalised characters. Are fairy tale retellings that feature diverse characters marketable in the current climate? #askDVpitLiterary Agent

I don't know about you, but I'm all about the escapist reading right now! Please send any queries that qualify my way, particularly MG adventure stories of all kinds. #MSWL
