I'm also STILL looking for a survival story in both #MG and #YA Think kid (or teen) vs. nature #MSWL

✅ #Action & Adventure

Any, especially about disasters, expeditions, survival, space/aliens, treasure hunts, and stories that include romance with action/adventure.

#MSWL #WritingCommunity

in light of certain climate news this is a reminder that I want to see more survival books (fiction and nonfiction) #mswl

• Stories about (non-anthropomorphic) animals, human-animal bonds, nature & high-stakes survival
• Select author-driven nonfiction, primarily with a radical, social justice–oriented focus—think prison abolition, open borders, union organizing, anarchy, socialism

I am still looking for my womxn-in-the-outdoors book! Camping, hiking, survival, etc! But give me something more to dig my teeth into - how is this story in conversation with our world today? How will it stand out from other books in its genre? #MSWL

...Stories of Black joy (any age), funny, escapist YA, forced proximity survival stories (stranded on an island? plane crash in the mountains? snowed in? Any age. I loved Baby Island AND Six Days, Seven Nights) 4/

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

Here is my #mswl darleyandersonblog.com/2020/02/25/mee… Generally, outside of crime, things that are uplifting & are about finding/making connections. High concept, feel-good, love stories. And across children's uplifting again, funny, things inspired by kindness and nature.

As well as #ownvoices and stories set outside the United States. I want stories of survival and grief and characters who overcome obstacles. Ah, who am I kidding? I just want a good book to lose myself in. #MSWL

This is such an incredible story of survival, friendship, and a HEA?! Love it.

Add this to my #MSWL.

This pandemic is hitting all of us differently on an emotional level, I know, but it's kind of making me crave stories about people worse off than we are... Does this make me a bad person?

Even so, I'd love to see more apocalyptic survival stories in my submissions box! #mswl

For our third and final children's book agency Meet the Team post, we meet @LitAgentClare 🌟Clare is on the lookout for new and exciting talent, so head over to our blog for her manuscript wish list 👀 #MSWL

#MSWL for the new year pt 8: survival stories or a new take on dystopian worlds. Would love something with Last of Us of Wilder Girls vibes.

#MSWL: YA comedic post-apoc survival novel where they assemble a team to survive:
1 to drive a stick shift
1 who can read a map
1 who can read “ancient scripts” (Cursive. I’m talking about cursive)
1 who can use a land line
A “math genius” who can do basic math w/o a calculator.

I'm dying to find a female Revenant -- Can be historical or contemporary, a gritty, hardcore, emotional, and suspenseful survival story. Give me all the bear scenes. #mswl

I'd love a survivalist horroresque novel or survivalist dystopian YA. Think Wilder Girls by Rory Power! Give me off the grid islands, plagues, a trip gone gone wrong, the end that begins as a whisper.

#MSWL

I’ve been watching WRECKED lately, and I sure would love to read a survivalist novel that’s funny. Does that exist? Query me. #MSWL

Shout to all the writers pitching me survivalist, doomsday prepper, and cult books.

You are my people.

Keep querying me with these stories. #MSWL
