#mswl A darker #MG fantasy--think The Bartimaeus Trilogy

A little too busy for a long #MSWL thread - but I always want high concept, X meets Y, big ideas books across the age ranges, packed full of humour and fun. Characters must be determined, goal oriented, chipper. I want joyful books. Books that make me smile. Nothing joyless!

A thread of more specific #mswl items I'd love to see:

A #YA about lady knights with the feel of SONG OF THE LIONESS/Alanna of Trebond

I'm always looking for culturally relevant stories that won't be out of date five years from now. In other words, focus on the social issue, not the specific people involved. This goes for fiction and nonfiction. #MSWL

Always and forever looking for #ownvoices and contemporary stories that reflect today's world and the issues kids face every day in a powerful way. #MSWL

#MSWL high-concept MG fantasy w/ series potential, preferably with a female MC

Still looking for a picture book about a cat and its enemy/best friend the Roomba. #MSWL

I'm always looking for crime / mystery / thriller subs of all sorts, both contemporary and historical. If you've got a project in the vein of Sherry Thomas, Tana French, Attica Locke, Jane Harper, or Louise Penny, I'd love to see it. #mswl

I love clever, quirky formats! Have a book that breaks the fourth wall like Fleabag? Telling the story at different times through different characters like I’ll Give You the Sun? Have a narrator like Lemony Snicket? Please send it! #MSWL

Devotionals—I’d love to represent more concept-driven devotionals. I represented a knitting devotional called Knit, Pray, Share and loved the specificity of it. Would love to do more devotionals with unique hooks! #MSWL

Very high on my #mswl is a YA romcom or a sweeping YA love story!

Gift books—I represented The Compendium of Magical Beasts, which is all about the anatomy of magical creatures, and would love to represent more quirky gift books like this. #MSWL

I’d like to see more body diversity in submissions across all genres and for all age groups. #MSWL

#MSWL #ownvoices Harlem Renaissance heist novel

#MSWL Funny picture books in the vein of Mo Willems.

#MSWL - in middle grade, I am dying for some fun, fresh takes on monsters.

For YA, I love mysteries, historical, contemporary, magical realism, psychological/literary horror, contemporary w/ a very light speculative touch. I love funny books, I love serious books. #MSWL

#MSWL - in YA, I'd love something really fun and soapy, maybe with a speculative twist, maybe not.

Okay, here’s some #MSWL items, both specific and vague—I REALLY want a queer mermaids book, please and thank you

I rep a few fabulous #scicomm writers and want to continue building my list! 👩‍🔬I’m actively looking for creators who can incorporate real science into fiction or break down nonfiction topics (climate change, space exploration, etc.) and make it interesting for kids. #MSWL #STEM
