#mswl call for NF that explores science / nature / the outdoors in the ways of Paul Bogard's THE END OF NIGHT, Robert Moor's ON TRAILS, Porter Fox's NORTHLAND, James Edward Mills' THE ADVENTURE GAP, and Victoria Johnson's AMERICAN EDEN.

#MSWL: "The Extreme Cyclists of the Navajo Nation" as the backdrop to a MG or YA novel. newyorker.com/culture/photo-…

#MSWL When I eventually reopen to queries, I want to see all the middle grade manuscripts about girls burning with anger at injustice in the world and how they’re fighting back, especially by and about POC and other marginalized groups.

speaking of #MSWL ideas I am wasting away in want of...!

I'm still looking for culturally rich MG/YA fantasies with inspiration outside of western cultures. #mswl

The cow as white as milk
The cape as red as blood
The hair as yellow as corn
The slipper as pure as gold

(Seconding this #MSWL)

sdfjhalsdfa you're breaking my heart over here, I want to both work on it endlessly with someone and also shove a cool 35$ into a bookseller's hands to receive my copy immediately 😫🙏 Please, #MSWL gods, hear our plea!

Seeking:
Adult: thrillers, psychological suspense, fantasy, sci-fi, contemporary romance, romantic comedy, & mysteries (traditional, amateur sleuth, & cozy).
YA: thrillers, psychological suspense, horror, mysteries, sci-fi, fantasy, historical, & contemporary. #diversity #MSWL

Would love a mythical take on PERFUME (Suskind) with paints instead of scents: historical/secondary world fantasy where True Ochre requires the hair of a just man who's never known bitterness, True White the tears of a serpent who's lost her love etc. Art, blood, hunts. #mswl

I'm opening up to unsolicited queries from Aug 1 to Nov 1. This is my only open submissions period for 2018. Check out my agent bio and #MSWL for what I'm looking for. If you feel your novel is a fit, you can query and submit pages to me at: QueryMe.Online/LisaAbellera #amquerying

Basically, I want beautifully written books that have super commercial hooks to them. #MSWL

And with this last tweet, I open the queries and go get lunch.

Graphic novels! I want them. #MSWL

Give me more historical fiction. Hidden histories! Some of my favorite of late have been @RutaSepetys's books and WOLF HOLLOW. #MSWL

I definitely need a strong psychological YA or thriller. Y'all know by know that Mindy McGinnis is my gold standard. #MSWL

I want well-rounded characters and strong character development. I want to be able to know they are real and to relate to them so well. I should know them better than they want to admit. #MSWL

I definitely need more contemporary YA, but I am looking for contemporary that is not the every day setting. Elevate it and allow me to escape for my every day. #MSWL

In both YA and MG, I need more fantasy. Fair warning: I will be picky. I am looking for lush worlds, complex characters, and writing that sweeps me away. #MSWL

I am looking for writers that are in the vein of some of my absolute favorites. @kitfrick's writing is stunning. @lauraeweymouth's writing was so beautiful. Too many to tag, but I am looking for that literary beauty in a commercial hook feel. #MSWL

Hey there! Consider this your periodic reminder that I am always open to diverse historical romance projects, and am especially interested in #ownvoices. Send 'em, send 'em! #mswl

We need to do right by this planet. Would absolutely love a picture book about the Amazon that sheds light on how desperately we need to care for our natural resources and marginalized societies. #MSWL
