Would really love to read some heartfelt or adventurous MG stories that are intentionally on the shorter end to be accessible to reluctant readers. #mswl

“Creepy horror stories for MG and YA readers.” @agentvicente  #MSWL mariavicente.com/representation

Because I can’t think of anything else right now, DM me if you are a BIPOC or disabled writer and have a YA or MG novel that in anyway demonstrates the importance of abortion rights as essential health care. #mswl

I'm also excited to share that I've opened back up to queries for picture books, middle grade, adult fiction, and graphic novels. #MSWL below:

✨ MSWL: bit.ly/2Xa8msp
✨ Visual MSWL - Kid Lit: bit.ly/2Xe3uT8
✨ Visual MSWL - Adult: bit.ly/2HRV3Wv

And middle grade high fantasy too, especially featuring Queer or BIPOC main characters. #MSWL

And in general, I am open to all queries for Picture Book (non-rhyming preferred), MG, YA and NA! I am simply not the best fit for horror, sci-fi or high fantasy.

And on the middle grade and YA side, I want funny, I want adventure, I want completely new, never-seen-before characters and settings, I want high-concept romances, lots of friendship and heart, just phenomenal stories and journeys all over🚀🌴

☝️🏼one week until i close to queries for who knows how long! get your MG or YA query in before May 2! my current #mswl is below and there's more info at bethphelan.com/submissions 🫶🏼

Hey writers! I’d love to see more MG and YA, esp mysteries (love Mrytle Hardcastle and TRULY DEVIOUS series), spooky horror (witches over splatterpunk), and character-driven commercial (like Jenny Han or Ash Van Otterloo). #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.” @agentvicente  #MSWL mariavicente.com/representation

Things I want to see more of:

--shorter MG and YA
--boy MCs
--humor (not necessarily as a genre, but as a feature!)

BookFriends! It's #MSWL time!

From @EmilyKaitlinnn:

"My kingdom for a middle grade with magical, high-stakes world building in the vein of THE OWL HOUSE and YA assassin or spy stories like THE GALLAGHER GIRLS series"

BookFriends, you all know what time it is!

#MSWL time!

From @TracyMarchini:

"I would love to find a middle grade from an ace-spec perspective and/or an author-illo picture book with the aesthetic of CREEPY CARROTS." 🥕

Weirdly excited about having a #MSWL profile now. 👀 manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/sara…

In honor of the horrible excuse for a human who posted on my community FB page about a “sex club” at the local middle school- her post including a photo of an adorable, hand-made flier for the gay pride club, please send me your queer MG stories. Let’s get ‘em published. #MSWL

Graphic Novels:
- MG, please! Anything and everything!
- YA: being selective here because there are so many. Really hoping for something like This One Summer which I just ADORED, The Girl From the Sea, or Heartstopper. (5/6) #mswl

MG:
- Adventure stories with strong friendship groups, think City Spies or The Last Day of Summer.
- Fantasy in the vein of Tristan Strong, or Aru Shah.
- Horror, horror, horror! Creepy, crawly, funny & subversive. Think The Incorrigible Children of Ashton Place (4/6) #mswl

Hi new friends and old, thanks for the well wishes & support. Since it's pub lunch official...I'm thrilled to share the #mswl of my dreams and I hope to see some cool submissions soon! manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/jenn…

I’ll add more if I think of them. A reminder I rep MG-Adult books and most of my tastes run the gamut of these age groups.
I’m not the right agent for stories of misogynist men “learning” how to be better.
I also have a hard time if it starts with a character waking up #MSWL
