Drumroll...🥁 @jsinsheim is open to queries!

If your manuscript is ready and you think it would be a good fit for Jessica's #mswl , view our submission guidelines here: contextlit.com/submissions

MISC:

-I’m looking for illustrated graphic novels in MG and YA (I’m not taking script ONLY atm)
-I am open to the occasional PB with a focus on stories about culture and family or navigating the world through a different lens
-I always have my eye out for more Canadian authors!

MIDDLE GRADE

I’m very selective with MG and am primarily looking for heartfelt, lyrical contemporary right now. I am also open to speculative fiction in MG with a preference for contemporary fantasy—I have a soft spot for quirky or snarky characters/voices in this space.

An updated #MSWL thread!

In general, I’m looking for Adult, YA, & MG fiction. I'm drawn to romance, horror, lower SFF, and genre blending & am always looking for more diverse perspectives. I am NOT right for erotica, non-fic, lit fic, or lower MG/chap books.

Specifics below.

✨Exciting news! I'm open to CB's, MG & YA submissions!✨
*No PB's, sorry.

#MSWL - I'm open to anything, but I'm especially looking for funny, horror & romance. A mashup of the 3 in a YA sub would be perfect.💖
Submissions open 1st-21st of each month.

These are not every #MSWL item I’ve ever posted (since some of those are broad) but just the specific things in the image below (and also 🧵'd in tweets below), so if you have something that fits an item on this list, feel free to send it my way on the link at the end of this 🧵:

Targeted #MSWL cont. (2/2):

☑️ YA asexual and/or aromatic rep
☑️ older MG/young YA (give me 12-15 year old)
☑️ aftermath/dealing with CSA and COCSA

And now for some targeted #MSWL requests (1/2):

☑️ a YA dark academia/SFF/thriller Revolutionary Girl Utena
☑️ friendship & grief of Bridge to Terabithia/My Girl
☑️ the complex relationship between Louis/Lestat in the TV adaptation of IWTV
☑️ MG foster care

MG/YA #MSWL Nos:
🚫 YA/NA crossover (If you story is set after high school it's not for me)
🚫 High fantasy/portal fantasy
🚫 SFF with themes of colonialism, imperialism, slavery
🚫 not super partial to sports stories unless there's a twist (thriller, speculative, horror, etc)

MG/YA #MSWL :
☑️ Horror
☑️ SFF (especially afro-futurism & magical realism variety)
☑️ Mysteries/Thrillers (would love some chilling psychological thrillers)
☑️ Historicals with a twist (spec, queer, mystery, etc.)

To everyone intrigued by this #MSWL call out or indeed more generally, if you think I might be a good fit for you (Agent profile: belllomaxmoreton.co.uk/agents/callen-martin) please do submit to me. I work in Children’s (7+), Teen, YA and New Adult / Crossover, in all genres – very excited to read!

As Summer has finally decided to arrive I am ready to grab an iced Diet Coke and my Kindle and dive into my submissions! I am on the search for #CB #MG and #YA ! My #mswl is very broad and wide - from the funny to the lyrical emotional and everything in between. Books I ❤️below!
