WRITERS! Send me your MG and YA novels that grab me from the first page and make me laugh, make me cry and make me forget the pandemic. I'm looking for a broad range in my #MSWL--pretty much anything but fantasy. Query through the Stringer Lit site: stringerlit.com

8) Yes, I do graphic novels! In addition to cozy fantasy, looking for MG fantasy/adventure more broadly and for moody, literary-feeling YA coming-of-age stories (the queerer the better).

4.3) Cozy MG fantasy that feels both literary and commercial. Think Studio Ghibli, Halloweentown, a touch of Anne Ursu. (I am also extremely looking for this in graphic novels!)

4.1) Commercial MG fantasy/adventure that could launch a 5-book series. I am ready to pick some fights with editor friends at RR Presents and Scholastic! 👀

Really happy to see my MIDDLE GRADE HORROR list growing with @saskwriter and @Lora013's debuts. I'm always looking for horror across the board from MG to YA to Adult, though not of the gross-out variety, but do give me eerie, tension-filled, scary with heart! #MSWL #MG #horror

It’s been a while since I updated my #MSWL: I’m on the hunt for hooky & commercial YA and MG, original worldbuilding & plot driven narratives - & would particularly like to see diverse protagonists across race, sexuality and gender. For more details see: petersfraserdunlop.com/agent/lucy-irv…

(YA/MG genre continued) Like with contemporary, I am especially interested in queer, disabled, and BIPOC protagonists, especially when the books are not issue driven. But above all give me a good, page turning adventure. #mswl
