#MSWL MG Diverse and LGBTQIA+ voices. Middle grade is really some of the toughest years of my life, and anything that can help them realize it's okay to be different, is helpful. Love ghost stories and stories of crushes and friendship at this age.

Madeleine, have you had any success yet? Where is the Jane the Virgin inspired romance novel we deserve and need? #MSWL

It's been over 2 years for this one, and I have a field of crickets in my inbox too. #MSWL

It's been 2 years and NOTHING, I repeat, NOTHING has made it to my inbox! #MSWL

Longing for diverse fiction & nonfiction by #ownvoices, pb-YA; diverse adult fiction & memoir #mswl How to sub: jdlit.com/marie-lamba

I'm always looking for clever/funny MG with a spooky twist and depth of character. Villians must be well developed (a true threat and not just a pest). #mswl

Bisexuality in YA. Make it sexy, make it sweet, make it NBD. Just make it. #mswl

I'd love to find a lyrical #YA Christian fantasy that doesn't shy away from struggle and loss, but ultimately conveys strong themes of redemption, restoration, and hope. #MSWL #CF

STEAMPUNK.

Note: I don’t want stories centered on inventors. It’s okay to have them, but I don’t want the MCs journey to be focused on inventing.

Give me the grit, aesthetic, atmosphere, and world building though!!
