Update on my #mswl for early 2021
For MG (open to almost everything here):
✨Disability rep in genre fiction
✨Spooky, bonus if legends outside western lens
✨Stories about community and cities
✨Fantasy of all kinds
✨Bob's Burgers-like humor and quirk
✨Queer first loves

watching Home Alone (like you do on Christmas Eve Eve) and am just desperately craving a MG with the same cozy feeling and high (but believable) stakes/hijinks #MSWL

My 1st #MSWL post for 2021.

I enjoy Shakespeare. I'd like to see a queer take on Shakespeare for #YA or #MG or even #PB.

We aren't actively looking at queries RN so it's ok to wait to submit until Jan. 4

Unrelated to all things (people talking about queen’s gambit which I have not seen yet), I would love a fictional #MG or #YA chess book on my list - prose or graphic novel, I just wanna read your chess words #mswl

Could you describe it as something like "upmarket fiction with a twist of weird"? That's my jam. Think NOTHING TO SEE HERE, CATHERINE HOUSE, THE AGE OF MIRACLES, THE RIVERMAN, THE STRANGE AND BEAUTIFUL SORROWS OF AVA LAVENDER. Send me your weirds, please - MG, YA, adult!

4/ Only 26% of my list is KidLit of ANY kind. I'm super picky about what I take on, but I represent PB, chapter, MG, and YA, and would love to see more voicey, character-driven stories in all of these categories in my inbox in the new year.

Hello! Just a #MSWL reminder as we look ahead to next year: I'm hungry for MG and YA across all categories, and particularly excited to find MG series/SFF/adventure and YA paranormal, contemporary, and thrillers/mysteries...and anything fun & soapy or spine-tingling & spooky!

The book that really hooked me on reading as a child was Westing Game by Ellen Raskin. I'd love to see something similar in #mglit in my inbox. #MSWL

I don't do much YA but if someone wants to write an alien contact SF, I'd take a look! #mswl

YES! Always always thinking about what first contact would look like. Basically, gimme YA or MG Arrival ❤️

Is it too much to ask for a modern, female-centric, MG version of THE SANDLOT? The varied friendships and subtle family drama and learning your fears aren't so scary and growing up/growing apart? So much to love! #MSWL
