SOME NEWS! After an S&S restructure, I'm now at McElderry, where I'll still be acquiring YA but will *also* be actively looking to build my MG list!

So agents, please keep me in mind for all your upcoming SFF middle grade! I'm definitely prioritizing that at the moment. #MSWL

So. Stunning. Please send all the PB, MG, and YA books about the art of hair, makeup, and fashion created by Black folks my way. #MSWL

Seconded! Diabetes truly is an invisible disease. Though I’d love MG or YA with Type 1 or Type 2... #MSWL

Or maybe like CASTAWAY. This idea of being alone for so long is particularly interesting to me now. #mswl

Watching the History Channel show ALONE. Reminds me I still looking for a female survival story (MG preferable but YA also maybe). Like MY SIDE OF THE MOUNTAIN or HATCHET. #mswl

i wrote this in an introduction to my ~taste~ that i put together for our ed director & realised i never said it in public so:

i would really really really really love to work on a picture book biography or MG NF graphic novel about grace lee boggs #mswl

FINALLY! While I'm mostly concentrating on building up Peachtree's YA list, I'm considering some upper middle grade, too! #MSWL

i'd love a story that adequately reflects what i call as "background app battery drain" IRL. for me it's monitoring my blood sugar. there are countless others (microaggressions come to mind) but i'd like a moment that reveals a constant others may not know goes on #YA #MG #MSWL

#MSWL in all the contemporary YA (or MG) I read, I like to see boys being feminists and practicing healthy relationships and consent. ALWAYS queer-positive. I'd also love to see a #nonfiction proposal talking directly to boys about feminism and consent.

I just saved a lot of these recs to my to-read list. & also, please send me your foodtastic books (MG, YA, & adult)! #MSWL

“Graphic Novels: contemporary young adult and middle grade, graphic memoirs, graphic nonfiction.” @msmariavicente #MSWL mariavicente.com/representation

Spoke to an editor this morning and reminded myself how much I want a historical in MG, YA, or Adult about a gun-toting, foul mouthed, self-sufficient woman like Ruby from Cold Mountain. Any country or continent or sexuality or skin color. I’m tired of petticoats. #MSWL

“I’d love to see MG adventure novels. The next female Indiana Jones or a young Lara Croft.” @readbystephanie #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

I'd love a #MG novel that looks at toxic masculinity #MSWL #WishlistWednesday

“Middle Grade: chilling horror (Goosebumps for today’s readers).” @msmariavicente #MSWL mariavicente.com/representation

I'm getting lots of YA and picture book submissions lately and would love, love, LOVE to see more middle grade! Agents, check out my #MSWL for what I'm looking for 👇
