Reviving this #MSWL

AGENTS! I'm backkkkkkkkkkk and ready to read amazing new stories #matleaveisover #happynewyear2020 #mswl

I love the vibe of this and I am totally here for it. Also, any books to comp send my way. #mswl

I'd love to see a novel about an Oregon Trail Generation protagonist reconciling the enormous expectations we had as children with the day-to-day realities of modern life. #MSWL

Starting the New Year with some updates to my #MSWL: I’m primarily looking for contempory novels right now! Especially if they are upbeat & include: Sisters. Crushes. Friendship Breakups. Sex-Positivity. Gender Expression. Hopeful Endings. Kids/Teens Acting Like Real Kids/Teens.

If you're a writer and/or illustrator without have an agent, please consider sharing your work with me via Kokila's open submissions window. More info here: penguin.com/publishers/kok…. If you do have an agent, encourage them to reach out to me. #mswl

Things I like to read about: hiking and the outdoors, the transforming power of travel, food & how it connects us, the art of comedy, women’s relationship to anger, building community, community organizing #mswl

Still looking for a YA rom-com that’s incisive & frothy, whether it’s about partners or a novel where someone falls in love with all the many facets of themselves. A falling-in-love-with-yourself story would be amazing! #mswl

To quote @CeliaCPerez: more books about brown weirdos! #mswl

Will always want MG that gives characters (and readers) the space to discuss the BIG questions on their minds. #mswl

Take me on a MG adventure and/or spooky journey with a strong friend group! #mswl

DID YOU KNOW I’m interested in adding magic and light fantasy to my MG list? In the vein of the funny, contemporary realistic books I love to publish with a dash of magic to alter the world we think we know. #mswl

Send me a breakout picture book character! #mswl

For picture books, I’m looking for narratives that center joy, humor, silliness, curiosity, and imagination. #mswl

Top of my list: more family capers! Stories that celebrate the messiness & complexity of family systems & how they shape our worldview. I adore a well-drawn, offbeat family as an ensemble cast. #mswl

We're back from break, which means agents are open to queries & editors are looking for projects to acquire! I’m excited for the beautiful, memorable PB, CB, MG, & YA manuscripts I’ll get to read & consider in 2020. Adding my #mswl to the mix!

I’m back open to queries as of today!
As usual, please send your query & first five pages in the body of the email to query[at]dunhamlit[dot]com.

Submission guidelines & #MSWL are at dunhamlit.com

Thinking about doing a #MSWL update soon...
