Books for kids and teens that capture the current spirit of resistance, fiction or non-fiction. #MSWL

I'm actively looking for Author-Illustrators, and love work that's witty and warm-hearted. Some of my fav illustrators are Sophie Blackall, Zachariah O'Hora, Frann Preston-Grann, Emily Hughes and George Marshall. #MSWL

I'm looking for fresh chapter books with a diverse protagonist and possibly some magical realism. #MSWL

If your YA project can be compared to one of these recent movie/tv shows, I want it: Get Out, Broad City, GLOW, Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt. #MSWL

I love historical mysteries - think The Woman in White or The Alienist – if you’re writing something like that for YA, I want to see it! #MSWL

Here are more #MSWL items! I'd love to see some contemporary, literary YA that’s unabashedly romantic – make me swoon!

Last week I tweeted a couple things I'm looking for. A refresher: a dark, creepy Fantasy for older MG readers – I love Joan Aiken, Franny Billingsley, Holly Black, Francis Hardinge, Laini Taylor. If you’re writing like this, I want to read! #MSWL

"Non-fic that explains big ideas & large concepts in ways that are accessible, fun, and humorous." @ericsmithrocks #MSWL ericsmithrocks.com/mswl/

And on that note, I need a rom com to represent. Smart characters, little bit of mayhem, romance that makes me swoon, lady friendships, lady bosses, diversity. All things that make me smile and happy. If you have it, please send it! #MSWL

#RWA2018 Looking forward to meeting a lot of great authors. Definitely on the search for some strong, thought provoking but not soap opera level women's fiction #MSWL

"Show me why friendship break-ups are so much worse than relationship break-ups." #YA @msmariavicente #MSWL mariavicente.com/representation/

#MSWL PB NF about either the guy who does the Macy's fireworks or about how firworks werw invented.

"Commercial/upmarket fiction that handles family secrets/reconciliation w/tenderness like THE MEMORY GARDEN" @kurestinarmada #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

Looking for adult romantic comedies, especially #ownvoices ones. Any Native Americans writing them, please send them my way! #mswl

Okay, those are the biggies! If you have one of those projects and you think it's ready to be queried, please go ahead and send it to me before 8/1/18! If it's not quite ready, don't worry, I'll be open to queries again in September '18.

#mswl

And last but not least, I'm still open to NF if you have an existing platform. If you're not sure what that means, this will help: thebalancecareers.com/what-is-an-aut… #mswl

I also want an Adult Fantasy reminiscent of THE CITY OF BRASS--smart, beautiful writing with a great plot that *moves*. #mswl

I'm also looking for BIG WORLDS in SFF. Something commercial and swashbuckling and fun as hell. I want a ROMP. #mswl

In Adult, I'm looking for a dark, female-driven story that reminds me of Lauren Beukes. Please please please. #mswl

I'm also still looking for the perfect YA Sci-Fi. Maybe it's a space opera, but it's set in the near future on earth. Maybe it's about weapons, maybe it's about cyber warfare. Whatever it is, I'm looking for a distinct VOICE. #mswl
