I am looking for stories from Black creators and from marginalized communities.
Bring on the MG fantasy, sci-fi, contemporary, and/or coming-of-age stories centered around black characters, experiences, and BLACK JOY!

Good news #MSWL has my new post up. manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/anis… I hope this helps anyone having trouble getting to know what I am working on.

Surprise! I’m opening to queries November 1st-18th! While I love picture books, I have a lot of them on sub so I’m hoping to find:
-YA fantasy, paranormal, or horror (no gore!)
-Adult fantasy or thrillers
-MG mystery
Literary Agent
Would love to find a MG "monsters in a cornfield" sort of book with an authentic super small town setting written by a writer who's actually lived in a small town. #mswl

Weird #MSWL item but I would LOVE a violent animal fantasy MG series like Wings of Fire or Warriors
Literary Agent
I'm still looking for a funny middle-grade novel in the vein of Rick Riordan Presents. Other comps include Ms. Marvel, ATLA, or a really gay School for Good and Evil. #MSWL

This proposed national bill is sickening. To deem LGBTQ people as inappropriate for children, many of whom are young LGBTQ people themselves, is to call for the erasure of an entire population of people. We're already seeing this devastating quest for erasure with the book bans. twitter.com/Esqueer_/statu…Have a pile of submissions to get to but a #mswl that's been on my heart ever since my trans/NB partner told me they've never seen themself reflected in lit: more books (PB, MG, YA, GN) featuring genderqueer main characters pls. There's power in lit, and the fascists know it.

My #MSWL is also in need of MG fiction with quirky extraterrestrials like you'd find in the ragtag group of Guardians of the Galaxy or on the Syfy series Resident Alien.
Literary Agent
A YA RomCom or MG story featuring Filipino leads would be lovely. #MSWL

I think there is a desperate need to fill the upper middle grade/young YA space.I also think there's a desperate need for young middle grade that is much shorter to transition readers from chapter books to MG. I so rarely see subs in that space. We need to fix that.
Writers, if you have something that will fit this description, please query me! #WritingCommunity #amquerying #MSWL

Yes, thanks for mentioning, @AnikaDenise! Upper MG is absolutely at the top of my #mswl, so if any kidlit authors have non-genre MG manuscripts with protagonists who are 13 or 14 and in 8th grade, I’d love to consider them for Holiday House.

Doing some babysitting and just watched Spirit Rangers for the first time! So incredibly adorable. A middle grade like that would be my dream 🥰 #MSWL
