I need more chaotically aligned characters in my life #MSWL

The NWSL is back today (!!!!) so....just putting it out there that I’d love to read a YA novel about a soccer team ⚽️ #mswl

#amquerying #writingcommunity #writerscommunity #MSWL What I would love to see in my QueryManager. Keep in mind sometimes I don't know what I want until I see it, so don't hesitate to query me if your story doesn't match this list. I am only accepting YA queries at this time.

“For me, literary fiction lives and dies in its characters and writing, send me your complex, diverse characters grappling with what it means to be human something in the vein of Tom Rachman’s THE IMPERFECTIONISTS.” @maureen_moretti #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

Or maybe like CASTAWAY. This idea of being alone for so long is particularly interesting to me now. #mswl

Watching the History Channel show ALONE. Reminds me I still looking for a female survival story (MG preferable but YA also maybe). Like MY SIDE OF THE MOUNTAIN or HATCHET. #mswl

i wrote this in an introduction to my ~taste~ that i put together for our ed director & realised i never said it in public so:

i would really really really really love to work on a picture book biography or MG NF graphic novel about grace lee boggs #mswl

In speculative fiction, I'm looking more for folklore, magical realism, surrealism, cozy fantasy, light fantasy, and atmospheric fantasy with lush world building and gorgeous prose, than traditional high/ epic fantasy. #MSWL

As a Southern person, working at a Southern publisher, I'd love to find Southern stories—in everything from contemporary to genre fiction! Particularly BIPOC and/or queer southern stories! #MSWL

In contemporary, I'd like to find sweet, slice-of-life stories, found family and platonic love (queer friend groups!), and stories with a strong sense of place. #MSWL

I'm especially on the lookout for high-concept stories w/ a standout voice, and strong coming of age themes that speak strongly to teen issues, without those issues defining the plot.

In all submissions, I'm prioritizing inclusive, diverse stories and marginalized voices. #MSWL

Ummmm, YAS. #MSWL so MUCH.

i'd love a story that adequately reflects what i call as "background app battery drain" IRL. for me it's monitoring my blood sugar. there are countless others (microaggressions come to mind) but i'd like a moment that reveals a constant others may not know goes on #YA #MG #MSWL

Looking for inclusive fiction of all kinds. Also still hungry for beach reads and romcom (YA especially, but adult too!) Seeking sports romance of all kinds, & I'm a huge hockey fan! But love football too and am also a sucker for the Olympics, and related books and shows. #MSWL
