An @orvillepeck song but in novel form. SEND IT TO ME. #MSWL

As promised, I’ve updated my #MSWL!

No dramatic changes but a couple more specifics...

What I'm hoping to see in my inbox? An upmarket fiction piece about a woman with a cool outdoorsy or animal-related job (think STEM). #MSWL

Very keen to see a brilliant whodunnit in my submission inbox this year... #mswl

Does this count as #MSWL? Because it is

Yes! #mswl

And across all age groups, stories where, despite nay-saying voices (whether they be internal/external or both), a main character comes into their own and recognizes their inherent power, self-worth, and unique place in the world. #mswl

YA rom-coms reminiscent of a Nora Ephron film with clever hooks, witty dialogue, and swoon-worthy characters #mswl

Spooky, atmospheric MG. Think JUST SOUTH OF HOME and the Serafina series. #mswl

Stories with protagonists ablaze with the same gumption, courage, and determination to protect the planet as Amariyanna Copeny, Greta Thunberg, and Autumn Peltier. #mswl

YA that tackles timely topics with a fresh, unforgettable voice that grabs the reader and never lets go. #mswl

I’m still on the hunt for a MG/ YA Practical Magic/Rules of Magic-esque witch book #mswl

MG stories that help destigmatize mental illness #mswl

More LGBTQIA MG stories #mswl

I devoured THE MOON WITHIN over the holiday break. Would love to see more MG or YA novels in-verse, please. #mswl

MG or YA stories about complicated family dynamics, sibling bonds, and found families. #mswl

Contemporary, heartfelt coming-of-age MG in the vein of THE REMARKABLE JOURNEY OF COYOTE SUNRISE, SONG FOR A WHALE and THE LINE TENDER. #mswl

SWEEP: THE STORY OF A GIRL AND HER MONSTER was one of my favorite non-Harper books of 2019 and I’d love to see more MG/YA historical fantasy that’s just as compelling, poignant, and imaginative. #mswl

Lush, high-stakes MG/ YA fantasy with series potential featuring unlikely heroes you can’t help but root for and writing that knocks your socks off. #mswl
