Real talk - I would be into something in my inbox for kids or teens that, if not actively advocating for prison abolition, seriously treats it as an option and a pathway. Fiction or nonfiction. MG or YA. #mswlEarlier this year this was just me hedging my bets, but seriously - send me your abolitionist works, I want to see if we can do a teamwork. I'm behind on submissions bc of my health, but trust, I'll read it. š#mswl

āWith 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 Rovelliās SIX BRIEF LESSONS ON PHYSICS.ā @maureen_moretti #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

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

āYA 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 Iād like to see.ā @ericsmithrocks #MSWL ericsmithrocks.com/mswl

Seeing a lot of 'timely' manuscripts (read 'dystopian') in our submissions inbox when all I want is ESCAPISM.I want your fluffy romances, the book equivalent of a Bollywood film, feel-good cosy stuff with a great hook that make you WANT to stay in.

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-inā¦

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/nataschamorrisā¦
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

Let's do a thread of picture books that I recently read and loved and symbolize my brand for picture book.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.

Publishing is notoriously white, and it's on those of us with our feet in the door to open that door wider for everyone else. So for the month of June, I'm opening myself up to queries from Black children's book writers and artists. Please, DM them my way. #BlackLivesMatterAnd 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

My consultation spots for Black #kidlit authors are now full. But I will add more every month (no end date planned) and post the links when available. Meanwhile, I'm always happy to chat on Twitter for general questions. elana.me/consultationsAnd 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
