#amagenting #querytip #amquerying

I'm looking for #MG too, @TiffanyJadeCo!

#MSWL especially #ownvoices with that true MG voice and a fresh premise.

While it's still pitch dark outside by 5:30, I'd be extremely down for a middle grade ghost story, agent friends #MSWL

“Realistic middle grade stories featuring characters with compelling interests, like in The First Rule of Punk by Celia C. Pérez and The Thing About Jellyfish by Ali Benjamin.” @msmariavicente #MSWL mariavicente.com/representation

I'm on the hunt for authors, author / illustrators, illustrators, graphic novels, non-fiction, MG and YA fiction, maybe even an adult novelist? #msw

#YA and #MG about neurodivergent kids. (Who has a female character with ADHD?) #MSWL

In general, I want commercial #fiction for MG, YA, and adult: contemporary, mystery, thriller, suspense, horror

Same!

Fun fact: I did archeology before I came to publishing.

Archaeology stories welcome and appreciated—esp #MG!

Next year is the 100th anniversary of the discovery of King Tut. Really hungry for an #ownvoices kid archaeologist MG—bonus points for critique of how museums often steal artifacts! #mswl

I'd love to see in my queries:

- Atmospheric, woodsy, lush horror like THE YEAR OF THE WITCHING (YA, A)
- Domestic/psychological thrillers by BIPOC authors (A)
- Scavenger hunts (MG, YA, A)
- Eerie spec fic in isolated settings (CATHERINE HOUSE, THE WATER CURE)

“A YA or MG novel comping #DeadbyDaylight that is still totally character-driven and emotional.” @readbystephanie #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

Dear agents,

Just want to put out the call again that I'd love to see more fantasy/sci-fi middle grade submissions in my inbox! I have a TON of space for mg on my list right now, so [*insert grabby hands here*]!! #MSWL

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

Ahead of reopening to queries on Monday, here's an updated #MSWL as well as the link to query which will be live from Monday!

ashliterary.com/#submissions

I am actively building my list right now. I’m looking for high concept contemporary romances, moving middle grade novels, and thrillers that feel teen #mswl

I'd also like to see more #NF that's not biographical for all ages #PB, #MG, #YA
