#mswl: middle grade contemporary w a great voice and a big hook! I love Kelly Yang, Cece Bell, Maleeha Siddiqui, Hena Khan, and Ali Benjamin to name a few!

I’d love to see your contemporary #MG story that the world needs to read. If it has a big hook and an urgent voice (like these two books I’ve had the honor of selling) all the better #MSWL

My birthday is next month!
Agents, here's what I want from my #MSWL. 🎁
Send me your MG novels, send me your YA novels. Here are some of my very favorite things 🧵:

I can’t sleep so I’m posting my updated #mswl as I’ll be reopening to queries March 1st. Please note I’m no longer looking for YA in any genres/sub genres. Query me at: QueryManager.com/carolinejtruss…

Here's my #MSWL link! Can't wait to hear from you soon!! 🥳

4. books about the dynamics of friendship groups—I’d love something YA or MG with the feel of NOW & THEN, but more diverse (Celia Pérez’ STRANGE BIRDS does this really well, eg)

2. something like SLIDING DOORS but funny! (or perhaps what i’m wishing for is a YA or MG EEAAO). the two roads/what if thing is usually deployed in the context of loss or tragedy, but I’d devour a story where someone’s universe is split over something absurd

1. girls and nb folx who skate! does anyone else miss BETTY on hbo? I was gutted when it was canceled and keep thinking I’d love a bipoc YA or upper MG BETTY, a book about the challenges of hanging at the skate park as not-a-cis-guy 🛹

It's #MSWL Day! Find mine here: manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/carl… In short, I like books with black covers, and I like books with pink covers. I rep #YA, #MG, mystery, suspense, horror, thriller, pop fiction & contemporary romance.

Happy #MSWL Day! Here’s mine again:

Hey guys! Seeing as it's #MSWL Day, I thought I'd pop on and share my wish list. I'm currently on the hunt for super-hooky, fresh MG and YA novels! More here: manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/kris…

In MG, still looking for spooky with a series of competitions or games 🧩

Think "Ordinary character in extraordinary circumstances".

Also, tear-jerking novel-in-verse

Happy #MSWL day! You can see my wishlist here: manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/sara… I'm looking for all MG and YA fiction (except graphic novels), adult romance, and adult anything-under-speculative-umbrella except hardcore horror #mg #ya #sff

I’m also a sucker for anything comped to Studio Ghibli in middle grade!

I’m open to more serious topics in mg if they’re executed in a thoughtful and engaging way. #MSWL

In middle grade, I’m always hungry for action, adventure, magic, and humor. It can be fantasy or contemporary, or a little bit of both. Give me your fresh takes on magical school settings or just fun friendship stories filled with hijinks. #MSWL

It's #MSWL day so I'm sharing all the things I want to see in my inbox! Since there's a character limit, I'll just link to my MSWL page. I'm looking for a broad range of material in the adult, MG, & YA spaces:

#PBPitch & #MSWL on the same day makes me wish I could nestle here on Twitter and do nothing else!

I’m updating my MSWL page for when I reopen, but my biggest change is that I’m dropping adult fiction.

Brief list (will expound later)
💫Adult NF - CBA & ABA
💫PB, MG, YA - ABA

I updated my #MSWL listing now that I'm looking for adult fiction too. Nutshell: commercial, escapist, fun or thrilling reads in MG, YA and adult. manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/elan…

My wheelhouse tends to be middle grade, YA and women's fiction, both ABA and CBA. In women's fiction, I'm looking ONLY for interesting hooks ... like sure divorce revenge, but like with a sailing race & bet involved like in @Talicktweets Beware the Mermaids. #MSWL

It's #MSWL Day, so I'll post a few items on my wish list. I'm still eager to find indigenous authors with authentic stories from PB to adult. I'd like more contemporary MG & YA by diverse voices, including LGBTQ+, but not issue books. #WritingCommunity #amquerying #amagenting
