2. MG across all genres. If you’ve got something for readers ages 8-12, featuring characters 11-13, with an engaging storyline and language that’s accessible without talking down to kids, send it my way.

2/5

#Mswl : literary voice-driven middle grade w/a high-concept hook; speculative/fantasy or slice-of-life but I want to see gorgeous, engaging prose or verse; profound coming-of-age themes; and beautifully drawn characters. If it’s a heavier story, there should be love and hope reverberating throughout

That's it for now - I may consider MG in the future but currently I'm commissioning for First Ink which is all about coming-of-age stories. If you don't have the email formula to submit, please DM me and I'll send it over! 😊

Here's Aashna's #mswl ! She's looking for authors and illustrators in a wide range of genres and categories!

"I'm looking for a heartwarming middle grade novel about animals. Ex: PAX by Sara Pennypacker, SILVERWING by Kenneth Oppel, and SANTA PAWS by Nicholas Edwards."

Forgot to post here too! I have a small handful of subs left in my inbox to read through and I just know this is going to be SO difficult. But, in other news, I’ve decided to open to queries! 🎉 send me all your horror, romance, MG, & more 🩷

It's time!! My official #MSWL profile page is live! I'm so excited to see what y'all are going to send me!

I’ve answered all queries so I’m doing a soft re-open, narrowing down my #MSWL to focus on areas I didn’t receive many queries when I initially opened. I’d 🩷 to see your chapter books, MG: contemporary, MG: nonfiction, MG: novel in verse, YA: contemporary, & YA: novel in verse

I’m open to queries through the 7th!

I am on the hunt for MG and YA mysteries/thrillers, gothic horror, and intricate, inventive fantasy!

I’m especially looking for stories from BIPOC and queer writers.

And, as always, anything that can be described as odd, weird, strange, off-the-wall, or similar for any age group, but particularly MG.
#MSWL

Since my slush pile will be reopening June 1, here's an updated #MSWL for holes in my current list:
–Board book author-illustrators
–Early reader and chapter book authors or author-illustrators
–Graphic novel author-illustrators (any age in kidlit)
–Creepy, gothic, southern gothic MG or YA

My middle grade taste has a wide range, but the thing that is most important to me across all MG genres is an authentic, relatable voice that is age-appropriate.

MIDDLE GRADE #MG
Voice-driven middle grade with a captivating setting and quirky, lovable characters. In this space, I am open to horror, fantasy, magical realism, mystery, sci fi, historical, paranormal, adventure, contemporary, and nonfiction.

Hi, #WritingCommunity ! I'm Ashlee, a new agent at Howland Literary, who is starting to build a #KidLit focused list (PB-YA). Here is my quintessential #MSWL 🧵with what I hope to find!

#mswl reminder: I am still on the hunt for standout trans/genderqueer voices, particularly in YA but also MG, from speculative to gorgeously written coming-of-age. My partner is trans/nb, I’m genderfluid, and I will never stop championing genderqueer authors

Spies! For middle grade or YA #MSWL

Before I close on May 9, if you have an adult, YA or MG that is grounded in reality but has a magical or fantasy component, you should send me that. Romance in YA or Adult preferred, but not required. #MSWL

I’m looking for ALL genres of MG and YA, but might be slightly prioritizing….
- MG magical realism
- MG animal fantasy
- YA fantasy/sci-fi (DYSTOPIA)
- YA contemporary
- YA thriller
- historical fiction OR alternate history in both age groups

allow me to reintroduce myself:
hi! I’m Renee, an Associate Agent at Spencerhill Associates! I’m building a list in middle grade and young adult fiction, and am super excited to support and develop authors wherever they are in their careers! check out my #mswl 🧵
