"Fiction with a splash of whimsy: like THE TWELVE LIVES OF SAMUEL HAWLEY and WHERE THE FOREST MEETS THE STARS. Not quite magical realism but maybe." @carlywatters #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

Last tweet has reminded me of the Note Notebooks I maintained with friends in elementary school that were a sort of shared diary interwoven with ridiculousness (bizarre stories, Weird Qwizzes, general goofiness). The group chat of my youth.On that note, #MSWL for a sincere but funny middle grade novel about kids facing real world stakes who are also just unapologetically little weirdoes.

After visiting Burano, a center of lace-making in the Venice lagoon for centuries, I’d love to find a book about the Italian girls kidnapped by the French court to use their skills exclusively for the French king. #MSWL pic.twitter.com/Z7nIco33idUm. Me too 👀 #mswl

I'm still looking for my YA mystery that reads like Brick - bonus points if the protagonist is LGBTQ+ ! #MSWL
Hannah Fergesen @HannahFergesen · 5 Apr 2019
I am especially interested in finding more SF! I love both literary SF that could be marketed to both non-genre and genre reading audiences, and more commercial SF with knowledgeable worldbuilding that asks big, human questions (ala the Expanse series) #MSWL

I can't believe I'm saying this, but I am almost completely caught up on queries. This means I'm HUNGRY. So even though it's not an official #MSWL day, in this thread I'm going to link to old wishlist items I still want and add some new ones!Overall I'm craving unique takes on magic and worldbuilding, protagonists who struggle to acquire their ultimately hard-won skillsets, gorgeous prose, and narratives that ask topical questions or reframe old ones - especially from under-repped voices. #MSWL

I’m half-Peruvian and would love to represent more children’s and YA authors and illustrators of Peruvian heritage—and Peruvians who live in Peru are great too! Does anyone know any Peruvian artists in instagram I can check out? #MSWL
