I really don't have enough magic or magical realism on my list right now. MG or YA. But I don't want witchy-magic. #MSWL

I'm also craving a clever middle grade mystery a la Flavia de Luce. #mswl

MG w/a big family or group of siblings at the heart of it, full of chaos & messiness & merriness & growing, but w/a strong hook, too. #MSWL

All the middle grade #MG !!! Heartfelt, funny, friendship or sister story, mystery, adventure, creepy. Any of these. #MSWL

YA, MG, or PB that aren't afraid to go outside the box. Genre-bending, unique structure, twists and turns. Keep me guessing! #MSWL

Illustrated middle grade! This includes graphic novel projects. Author/illustrators, please! #MSWL

I’m still looking for a modern-day Sweet Valley Twins series for Middle Grade. Maybe with friends instead of siblings? #MSWL

Middle Grade horror! I'd love a spooky series that is character-driven. #MSWL

Middle Grade involving astrology/the zodiac in some way. #MSWL

Middle Grade fantasy with excellent, unique world building. High concept. Series potential. #MSWL

This fall, I'm mostly looking for new MG and YA projects (almost any genre). More rep info here: mariavicente.com/representation/ #MSWL

Would love to find a commercial coming-of-age #MG w/ strong female character dealing w/ typical "firsts" (periods, crushes, etc) #MSWL

South Asian Muslims in #MG and #YA (bonus- world-building with Islamic mythology) #MSWL

Send me your whimsical, your self-conscious, your intersectional, your silly. #MSWL #MG

I'm looking in general for more book club fiction, thriller, suspense, YA & MG. #MSWL

Like many others, I'd like to see a Muslim protag, particularly in MG or YA. #MSWL

Would be interested in seeing MG fantasy/magical realism that focuses on a really tight-knit group of friends: think The Thief Lord #MSWL

#MSWL YA and middle grade books about friendship! Both fantasy and contemporary. Make me nostalgic!

Okay, fine, I'll allow one exception to my query pile closure: MG/YA nonfiction (prescriptive or narrative). #MSWL Sorry, but no PB nonfic.

In MG: A hero or heroine with the spunk and magic of Matilda. @MaraWilson's memoir put that amazing character back on my radar! #MSWL
