I'd love to have more how-to (adult/kids) books on my list! From beekeeping to bookkeeping, I'd love to hear your ideas! #MSWL

Also going to add that Hocus Pocus will always be #MSWL inspo. Make it middle grade or adult fiction and I NEED to see it.

I want this VERY BADLY. #MSWL

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

Wait! Did I tell you I LOVE ghosts or witches? No? Well, please share all of your ghosts and witch stories. 👻 🧙‍♀️ #MG #YA #A #MSWL

#illustrators, I am here for you! I'd love to see your art, from PB to MG to YA.

I'd also like to see author-illustrated graphic novels. My kids love them. I love them. And I will continue to be an advocate for the fun and creativity and hard work that goes into them. #MSWL

I want an MG and YA novel in verse, one where the characters talk about anything and everything but realize something profound. #MSWL

I know, vague, right? I don't know. Surprise me!

In MG, YA, and Adult, I want characters who have to fight to be good because being bad is so easy. #MSWL

I want single parent stories, whether mom or dad or grandparent, that could cover themes of grief, abandonment, acceptance, or community, but ones where the character arc starts and ends at home. AND, if it's BIPOC, I want them thriving, y'all! #MG #YA #MSWL

oh damn #mswl this middle grade horror novel please

Thinking about how great THE MONSTRUMOLOGIST is, and how I want MG horror that takes kids as seriously as that book does. #mswl

I've noticed some things I always fall for:

Wine shops/wineries
Swamps
HIlariously awkward gay boys
Historical where they brush fingers and is a MOOD
MG where girls like ghosts and frogs and deep convos
Flying ships
Nerdy yet awe-inspiring talents
ANGST

I REALLY love LGBTQ+ historical or MG first crushes kind of vibe. Always looking to build my list and want more Ace, Trans, and Nonbinary voices
#amquerying #amagenting #querytip

I prefer MG to be a bit more mature. If it’s under 30k, it most likely too short for me or doesn’t have enough build to grab me. I like things to be really fleshed out, to fall into the world and wish to stay
#querytip #amquerying #amagenting

In YA & MG, I really want historical, paranormal, contemporary, fantasy (of all kinds!), and non-graphic horror

Keep in mind, I'm super on the hunt for LGBTQ+, diverse voices, and new settings/events/creatures that aren't mainstream

#MSWL!

I am LOVING the MG energy in my inbox and I need MORE PLEASE! 🥺 also would love some Muslim kids kickin butt too, pls and thank u. Bonus points if it's a graphic novel! #MSWL

Or, a book that later becomes a show or a movie. #JustSayin #MSWL in #MG or #YA or #A I'm not picky.

Hey agent friends! I've been really craving some more middle grade submissions in my inbox. I love stories that focus on friendship, family, and culture--regardless of genre--with an eye towards projects by authors from the margins. Please send me your MGs 🙏🏼 #mswl
