#mswl MG or YA NF on "lies" taught in schools (particularly interested in the Civil War, myself. Immigration also a good topic). In honor of James Loewen.

#MSLW I've seen queries before w/ worlds where water is scarce. Would love to see something like this in the YA or even MG space when I reopen to queries. You can always put something like "#MSWL For YA drought-world book" or whatever the MSWL is in the referral space.

Hi #amquerying #amwriting folks!

Just a friendly reminder that I am desperately seeking some more contemporary stories in the adult, YA & MG space.

My detailed #MSWL can be found here: bit.ly/3iZE47U 🖤

I'd especially love a #YA #thriller or #MG #mystery set in #ElYunque rainforest in #PuertoRico #mswl

Excited to find more #MG and #YA stories that represent authentic #Latinx #customs, #traditions, #celebrations, #folklore #mswl

I'd love to see more #MG and #YA stories based on #PuertoRican #folklore #mswl

I loved this article and, especially as a mom to a 2-year-old boy, would love to see more MG books along these lines #MSWL: nytimes.com/2021/08/06/opi…

#MSWL is in the quote tweet

And for those wondering, there is a separate place to list your content warnings (CW) after you upload your query and pages. I look forward to seeing your submissions!

MG/YA #MSWL cont:
☑️ Queer ballet (if you caught #QueertheBallet's ANIMALS & ANGELS last month, I WANT THEIR STORY!!)
☑️ Found families
☑️ Stories where race, gender, sexuality aren't the center. They can just be bad-ass characters!

MG/YA #MSWL
Wants:
☑️ Horror (darker the better but keep it in the age category)
☑️ Rom-coms with a hook
☑️ Spec (especially afro-futurism & magical realism variety)
☑️ Mysteries (gimme the new Westing Game!!!)
☑️ Historicals with a twist (spec, queer, mystery, etc.)

Buckle up, friends! It's time for my #MSWL thread. Some basic facts:

Hiya! For slightly personal reasons, I’d love to acquire a middle grade novel that tackles the fact that many girls with ADHD go undiagnosed! #MSWL

hi #amquerying & #WritingCommunity folx,

i’d love to see more:

• contemporary stories for MG-Adult
• rom-coms, especially in YA (queer & diverse). I want a BIPOC f/f story so badly!
• twisty YA thrillers and horror (& adult, always!)

“I’d love to see a MG or YA spin doctor. Think the energy of Shirley and Jamila Save Their Summer meets the Good Wife's Eli Gold.” @readbystephanie #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

“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.” @agentvicente #MSWL mariavicente.com/representation

I am very excited to announce that I am officially open for queries! I’m mainly hunting for whimsical MGs, transporting YAs, and select NF. There are some specific things I’d love to see so check out my #mswl for more details

Finally, the thing I didn't know I wanted. I have found that several times in this past year and it has been absolute delight. My clients' creativity always outpaces my own imagination, and I love to be surprised by a book. If it's middle grade of YA, try me! #MSWL

And middle grade contemporary or realistic -- with or without a twist of magic (a la WHEN YOU REACH ME) -- will always have my heart. #MSWL

I'm eager for fun middle grade series, humorous or not -- but definitely heartfelt. Sweeping worlds, sweeping adventures, kids wrapped up with gods and monsters and magic. Bonus points for fun animal (or magical-creature) sidekick characters! #MSWL

Top of my #MSWL: I am, of course, always one season ahead and already ready for Halloween, so send me your books with spooky, autumn coven and monster vibes, MG or YA. #MSWL
