My #MSWL: #PB #C #MG #NF #BVM #OWN

Particularly looking for MG right now. Recent favorites: FROM THE DESK OF ZOE WASHINGTON (so many happy/sad tears) and SO DONE (love alternating POV). All-time favorites: FRONT DESK, THE LINE TENDER, THE WAR THAT SAVED MY LIFE and THE STARS BENEATH OUR FEET. #mswl

“With non-fiction I want to learn something by accident, tell me a good story in a fun new way that keeps me thinking. I really enjoyed Carlo Rovelli’s SIX BRIEF LESSONS ON PHYSICS.” @maureen_moretti #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

#MSWL please keep these great submissions coming from Black children’s book writers! I’m also interested in author-illustrators with existing picture book dummies. #BlackVoices find me through the Stimola website through the submission form. 🖤

#MSWL #ownvoices Black utopias.

Looking for both YA and adult contemporary stories of #ownvoices and #POC. Raw, honest voices. Real emotions, with a commercial hook. Please query me. I am always, always on the hunt for great storytellers. #MSWL

“YA non-fiction: Memoir, essay collections, you name it. Queer There & Everywhere is probably my favorite YA non-fic title in recent memory, and a great example of what I’d like to see.” @ericsmithrocks #MSWL ericsmithrocks.com/mswl

"A gender-bending James Bond-esque character (but not as smarmy) who's an eco-warrior on a mission to save the earth." @readbystephanie #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

Since I am still getting some traction for this #mswl I should mention that I have recently moved agencies to The North Literary Agency. More about what I am looking for here: thenorthlitagency.com/our-friends-in…

I've reopened again to queries! Send me your stories. Check out #MSWL for what I most want to see right now. Sky's the limit! And if you need a feel for what my books look like, check out my pinterest boards for books I rep: pinterest.com/nataschamorris…

I am hungry for YA novels in verse in the same vein as POET X by @ElizabethC05172, LONG WAY DOWN by @JasonReynolds83, or SHOUT by @halseanderson. Give me your strong voices and lyrical prose. #MSWL

So rather than do a PB #MSWL ahead of reopening today, let's just retweet a thread of great picture books.

Publishing is an industry that has always had the power to amplify Black voices and we need to do better. I want to do better. Agents, please keep me in mind when you sign up some these stellar and important voices because I want to hear them.
#BlackLivesMatter #MSWL

And agents, I see so many of you doing the same. Thank you. When you inevitably sign up some of these stellar new voices, please keep me on your submissions lists. #BlackLivesMatter #MSWL

“Middle Grade: modern-day Sweet Valley Twins series (featuring best friends).” @msmariavicente #MSWL mariavicente.com/representation

And not to conflate things, I have never stopped looking for Black voices to add to my list of authors. If you write fun, escapist stories for MG or YA, I'm here! Currently hungry for rom-coms and light fantasy, but open to an adventure. elana.me/wish-list #mswl

On my #MSWL stories that fit into the genres I acquire with rich settings that are part of the story. Think Cheyenne, Tombstone, Las Vegas, or a town of your making that has history, significance to the story. More details here: cityowlpress.com/queries/
