This week, meet @serenemaria. #MeetAPL

Serene represents a variety of adult, YA, and MG genres. Though she is currently closed to queries, she is optimistic about reopening soon! 👀

Check out her recent projects, her #MSWL, and her #amwriting advice below 🤩

I would jump through hoops for submissions by Jewish #BIPOC authors, for picture books, chapter books, middle grade and YA. I'd love joyful stories, romances, fantasies, quirky and funny, and... whatcha got? #MSWL #writingcommunity

Opening to queries for the month of May! I'll be looking for picture books, chapter books, middle grade, & YA novels. Please look at my previous #MSWL so you can query smartly. I'll repeat some of what I'm looking for here & will be adding to this thread over the next week.

Passing this on to you #amquerying authors--I also would love funny MG! #MSWL

#mglit #writingcommunity

Agents, I love picture books (please keep sending them to me) but I'd love to add some funny, contemporary middle grade to my upcoming lists! #mglit #MSWL

I'm in the mood for MG! Please send me something spooky, send me something funny, send me something full of adventure, send me something that makes me think. And as always, would love to see subs by marginalized creators across genres. Ready to fall in love with some MG! #MSWL

I'm actively seeking to build my client list. I’m open to queries for mostly young adult, middle grade fiction and #graphicnovels. Check out my full #MSWL at SeraRivers.com #kidlit #amquerying #amwriting #YA #ownvoices serarivers.com/mswl

🚨NOW ACCEPTING MIDDLE GRADE QUERIES!🚨Focusing on contemporary fiction. Please see updates and submission guidelines in my bio. Looking forward to considering your work! #amquerying #middlegradefiction #querytip

“Modern middle grade chapter book series, like Mindy Kim by Lyla Lee and Narwhal and Jelly by Ben Clanton." @msmariavicente #MSWL mariavicente.com/representation

Actively looking for contemporary coming-of-age middle grade novels. Would love to start repping strong voices in this market! #querytip #middlegradefiction #pubtip #amquerying

#mswl #pb, #cb, #mg, or #ya based on this, inspired by this, I just LOVE this!

“I am on the hunt for non-fiction in MG. Show me glimpses of history that haven’t been taught to younger students before, collections of pieces, anthologies." @ericsmithrocks #MSWL ericsmithrocks.com/mswl

On Monday, the 19th, I'm opening up to queries. I've updated my #MSWL here: manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/jemi…

I'll be open to a lot: Illustrators, MG, YA, and adult fiction, but let me share some things I'm really like to see.

My #MSWL is live now! I exclusively look at GN submissions, and I'm glad I have an easy way to direct people to all the things I love :) manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/sami…

Me too!!! #mswl
But I’d really love it with a voice we’ve not seen before.

I'm really hoping to find more realistic MG graphic novels in my inbox this spring. I would love to see books like:

Free Lunch
Rollergirl
The Prince and the Dressmaker
New Kid

#mswl

#mswl I am looking for middle-grade mystery. Mysteries were one of my fav things to read and watch as a kid. Take me back to The Goonies and Encyclopedia Brown with mystery, adventure, friendship, and an element finding yourself.

If your MG protagonist can be comped to Ricky Baker from Hunt for the Wilderpeople, send send send. #MSWL

#mswl Would also love a mg or ya adventure or mystery set in the OBX. Plus pirates would be great. Own voices A-A male or female protagonists would be ah-may-zing.

#mswl would love a mg or ya fantasy or scifi set in Ethiopia. Or an adult royal romance. Or a historical fantasy romance. Or a biopic related to the royal family.
