Thrillers, always! And crime fiction, bookclub fiction, women's fiction, YA, MG, & nonfiction. #MSWL rachelekstromcourage.com

#MSWL heartfelt yet with humor, strongly plotted, diverse MG with unforgettable characters.

My tastes in Middle Grade and Young Adult tend to be more literary. #MSWL

Tip: I have more room on my list for MG than YA right now. Diverse, plot-driven, imaginative, high-concept, heartfelt. Hit me. #MSWL

A character arc that rivals that of Zuko in Avatar: The Last Airbender. YA or MG. #MSWL

I love MG stories that make me cry. #MSWL

Still looking for a middle grade mystery with humor and heart! #MSWL

MG featuring a child with extreme food allergies #MSWL

MG that touches on universal childhood firsts that aren't first crush #MSWL

In all fiction (adult, YA or MG): evocative/unusual settings, themes of nature, food, secrets, historical elements. #MSWL

#mswl MG manuscripts are always run by my 5th grader. Make her laugh and it's a very very good sign. ;)

Absolutely looking for #ownvoices and #diversebooks (especially in MG and YA). #MSWL

#MSWL MG/YA fiction high-conceptl but w/fully-dimensional characters, ie intersection of literary/commercial. Twisty plots no horror or SF

In YA and MG, I’d really like to see books of all genres with hope and humor. We all need escapism and joy, again, esp starring POC. #MSWL

And I’m still looking for something that makes me feel like Yuri On Ice does. Would LOVE to see this in MG. Or YoI, the novel. #MSWL

Still at the top of my #MSWL: LGBTQ+ (including aro, ace, pan, poly, genderqueer). ALL of it, all genres, MG & up especially #ownvoices

Happy #MSWL Day! I’ll tweet throughout the day, but here’s the link to my query form for MG, YA, and adult books: querymanager.com/query/1005

I am also looking for non-fiction for MG/YA! Narrative NF, memoir, or just intriguing topics that kids can see themselves in. #MSWL

For MG/YA, I’m looking for high-concept or commercial-leaning fiction. Good plots and good twists. Not picky on genre (but NO horror). #MSWL

Would love to see mg or ya fiction or nonfiction STEM or in vein of Hidden Figures or #Blackgirlscode #MSWL give me strong, smart girls.
